COURSE DESCRIPTION:

Clinical Bodywork techniques for the hips, legs and feet

The feet and legs are the foundation for our entire body.  Any misalignment can create myriad issues traveling up through the hips, spine, ribs and head.
In this Clinical Skills class you will learn an approach to tissue engagement and advanced massage techniques designed to elevate your clinical bodywork skills to achieve results for clients with ROM issues after a knee surgery, valgus/varus knee dysfunctions and plantar fasciitis.  With this training you will be able to increase the flexibility and function of the knee and use gait analysis in order to find discrepancies in walking patterns.

Learn myofascial release techniques for the IT Band, ligament techniques for the patellar ligament, myofascial release for the retinaculum of the ankle and active release for the tibialis anterior.

This class offers 12 CEU credits.
