Even the Best Gurus Need a Support Network

As a health professional, you are a lifelong learner.

You know the medical world is constantly innovating and discovering new and exciting ways to help people—that’s part of the fun.

But sometimes, being a health professional can get a bit lonely and overwhelming… Finding time to wade through another heavy journal… Attending yet another online CEU course…

There’s nobody to bounce ideas off, nobody to help you work through that really tough case, especially if you work alone or in a remote community.

When you are surrounded by like-minded, passionate people who share your goals and support you… that’s when the real learning happens and ideas turn into innovation—that’s when everyone thrives!

“It opened my eyes to critical aspects of lower body function”

I would recommend the Gait Guru program to anyone interested in developing a detailed understanding of gait, both how to assess it and also how to treat injuries that are caused by it. It opened my eyes to critical aspects of lower body function and I use the information daily to the benefit of my patients. I already have had several patients where I can now clearly see the cause of their lower extremity injuries and have helped them where prior to this program I would have been off the mark. Thank you so much Gait Gurus!

“My mind is blown. I can’t even explain the amount of information that I have learned through these educational programs”

I found GaitHappens when I was working with a young patient a couple years ago who had a persistent morton’s neuroma and I couldn’t figure out what else to do with her. I had done a few joint mobilizations to her foot/ankle and given her the simple ankle exercises I learned in PT school… I even asked the other more experienced clinicians in my practice. Nothing was helping…

I found GaitHappens on instagram and I was instantly intrigued and wanted to learn more. Fast forward a couple years, I have taken Top Down Bottom Up and joined the Gait Guru Membership, and my mind is blown. I can’t even explain the amount of information that I have learned through these educational programs, and I feel so much better equipped to treat patients with any lower extremity injury! I even gained enough confidence to open my own Physical Therapy business.
