The best practitioners have the best assessments and tools in their kit.

They leave protocols in their dust and they use their varied tools to create distinctive treatment plans for the unique individual in front of them.

They have the skills to conquer the toughest cases, the confidence to back their choices and the referrals that come with being the lower extremity expert in their area.

We’ve created multiple professional courses to take every clinician who wants to be the best in gait and lower extremity assessment and treatment to exactly that level.

How do I know which to choose?

If you’re getting started with foot and gait mechanics and would like to get a deeper understanding of common presentations, Gait Foundations is probably a good place to start.

If you’re ready for a more advanced course that will give you the confidence to navigate the tough, chronic cases with an understanding of when to refer out and when to treat functionally (and how), we recommend Clinical Meets Functional.

If you want a systematic approach to gait assessment which will help you tie together the biomechanics of the whole chain from the foot to the torso then we recommend starting with Functional Gait Assessment. Learn tools you can apply immediately in practice with options to get certified online or in person.

If you are passionate about foot and gait biomechanics and want to stay at the cutting edge of research and treatment and if you're looking for a community where you can practice with case studies and learn from interviews with leaders in our field, we recommend joining the Gait Guru Membership. We do recommend doing one of our courses before joining though it is not a prerequisite.

Do I get CEUs for these courses?

CEUs are available for multiple courses. Please see the specific course page to view approval hours and professions. For those that are not pre-approved, we have documentation available upon request for you to submit to your governing body for approval.
