Gait & Biomechanics Workshop Series
A 4-Part In-Person Training Series for Practitioners
Get your clients moving better—from the feet up.
Why Join This Series?
Because you’re tired of giving clients the same rehab script. Because “tight hip flexors” isn’t a diagnosis.
Because you want tools that actually work—and a method that treats people like integrated systems, not a list of symptoms.
What You’ll Learn
A practical, hands-on biomechanics series that teaches you to assess and treat real-world movement dysfunctions. No fluff. No generic clamshells.
You’ll master:
Foot mechanics and closed-chain movement
Gait analysis (that actually means something)
Functional assessments for the foot, limb, pelvis, and spine
Interventions that work, feel good, and make sense
The Format
2-Day In-Person Workshops (each one builds on the last)
Online Pre-Learning (watch at your pace, come ready to move)
Workbook Included (so you can stop scribbling and start applying)
Post-Course Support (group + 1:1 Zoom calls + Gait&Bio community)
Workshop 1: Mastering Foot Mechanics
The foundation of movement starts here.
If the foot’s not right, nothing above it stands a chance. This 2-day hands-on workshop is your deep dive into how the foot actually functions—and how to change it when it doesn’t.
You’ll learn to assess, mobilise, and reprogram the foot in real-time, so you can immediately apply it in clinic.
What’s Inside:
Static + Dynamic Foot Assessments
Learn to observe and assess what the foot should be doing at rest and in motion—without relying on guesswork or gimmicks.
Closed-Chain Foot Mobilisation
Master 8 targeted mobilisations that influence each joint and each phase of gait. We don’t just wiggle toes—we rewire movement from the ground up.
Phases of Gait – Foot Edition
Finally understand what each foot segment should be doing during walking. Break down the heel, midfoot, forefoot, and toes across all 6 key phases:
Initial Contact, Loading Response, Mid-Stance, Terminal Stance, Pre-Swing, Toe-Off
Hands-On Techniques That Stick
Apply movement-based interventions that restore motion, reduce pain, and correct those sneaky patterns that keep coming back.
This is practical, repeatable, and ready for Monday’s client.

Workshops 2–4: Expand Your Skills
Each workshop builds on the last, giving you a full-body toolkit to assess and treat movement dysfunctions from the foot to the spine—so you can stop chasing symptoms and start transforming patterns.
Workshop 2: Advanced Foot & Limb Mechanics
Refine footwork. Integrate the chain.
Take your foot knowledge and expand it up the limb. This workshop connects foot function to knee, hip, and pelvic mechanics—showing you how compensations travel and where to intervene. Learn how to assess lower limb alignment in motion, influence gait with minimal input, and apply movement-based strategies that actually hold. You’ll leave with a limb-focused toolkit that changes how you treat everything from hip drop to medial knee collapse.

Workshop 3: Foot & Spinal Mechanics
From foot to fascia to the top of the spine.
Ever wondered how a dodgy foot can lead to a crooked posture or chronic neck tension? In this workshop, we explore how the foot drives force up the kinetic chain—and what happens when the body resists it. You’ll learn to map the relationship between foot mechanics and spinal alignment, understand the impact of tension lines, and use mobilisation strategies to restore symmetry, space, and spinal freedom. Perfect for clients with back pain, scoliosis, or postural “mystery aches.”
Workshop 4: Mastering Gait Analysis
The art and science of movement observation.
This is where it all comes together. Learn how to assess gait as a full-body conversation—every joint, every segment, every compensation. We’ll dive into video analysis, movement sequencing, and pattern recognition so you can identify what’s missing, what’s overworking, and what needs retraining. By the end, you’ll have a structured approach to gait that helps you not only treat dysfunction—but explain it clearly to your clients.
‘ I enjoyed the topic and presentation, presented by Riccardo. He did a good job and made sure all participates understood content, going over topics a number of times to make sure we all understood and were comfortable moving on’

‘Riccardo is a very passionate teacher, delivers a great course on the foot mechanic. most enjoyable infos on a very important part of the body. thank you’
Susan 2/6/24
Who It’s For
Bodyworkers, movement nerds, and practitioners ready to level up:
Physical therapists
Personal trainers
Chiropractors
Reflexologists
Soft Tissue therapists
Osteos & movement specialists
If you want to treat the root cause, not just the pain site—this is for you.
Loved Riccardo's modality - awareness of and working with tendons to rebalance the body - starting with the feet. Issues since my teens including twisted toes and jammed metatarsals - I could feel the difference in the problem foot after a demo treatment at the workshop!

‘I was very engaged throughout this workshop even though a lot of fairly complex topics were introduced from a perspective I had not previously considered’

What Participants Are Saying
I can directly use this information in both my Reflexology and massage modalities. Jill 30/8/24
More of Riccardo please - much more. Love what he has to offer, even though the workshop was a tiny start to his modality!
Anthony 30/8/24
“1 very well organise polite and good communicator”
Channing 2/6/24
Hey Riccardo,
I’ve incorporated the foot assessment into my global screen. It’s been the missing link to my treatments - have always identified foot dysfunction but never had the right tools to assess and treat. I can’t thank you enough.
I’ve had 3-4 people come in complaining of “plantar fasciitis” and after assessing and treating was able to get them loading their foot tripod correctly, coming off the big toe and moving pain free within the hour. Brilliant! Dane 5/6/25
The modality that Riccardo has/is developing has huge potential for pain and health. I'm very excited about it!
Lisa 30/8 /24
Thank you Riccardo, my knee pain and shin pain has gone and my foot straightened without effort. Much appreciated
