As clinicians and movement professionals, we’ve all been there.
A patient walks through your door with knee or hip pain that just won’t go away. They’ve tried orthotics, rest, strengthening, even injections - yet something still feels off. You watch them move and know something’s contributing to their discomfort... but you can’t quite pinpoint what.
That’s where a strong foundation in lower extremity biomechanics makes all the difference.
The Foot: Often Overlooked, Always A Priority
Most of us didn’t get enough training on the foot and ankle in school. And yet, this region plays a critical role in the function of the entire kinetic chain. If we’re not assessing the foot - or we’re only looking at it in isolation - we risk missing the root cause of what’s showing up further up the chain.
Think of it this way:
🔹 Foot instability can lead to knee overloading
🔹 Limited ankle mobility can alter hip mechanics
🔹 Aberrant walking patterns can contribute to chronic low back pain
Without the tools to assess and understand these connections, we end up chasing symptoms instead of addressing the source.
What If You Had a Clear Starting Point?
Gait Foundations: Managing Common Presentations of the Foot is our go-to course for helping clinicians and movement professionals do exactly that: build the skills, knowledge, and confidence to work with complex lower extremity cases - starting at the foundation.
It’s packed with tools you can use right away in practice, including:
✅ Specific assessments & treatment strategies
✅ Detailed breakdowns of six common foot presentations
✅ Real-world application to patient care
✅ A deeper understanding of foot mechanics in context of the whole body
This course is ideal for:
- Physical Therapists
- Chiropractors
- Podiatrists
- Physiotherapists
- Pedorthists
- Trainers and movement professionals who want to better serve clients in pain
Why This Course Stands Out
At Gait Happens, we don’t teach cookie-cutter protocols. Instead, we teach you how to think critically and connect the dots from the ground up.
Whether you're treating a flat, rigid foot or a hypermobile one (remember: neither is "bad"), this course helps you understand why those patterns matter and how they influence the rest of the body.
One participant put it best: “This has been a really important missing piece of the puzzle… I already knew feet were important, but this pulled it all together for me.” – Course Graduate
Final Thoughts
If you’re ready to stop guessing and start confidently addressing lower extremity pain at its source, this course is the perfect place to begin.
Let’s stop chasing symptoms - and start creating real, lasting change for our patients.
