This cutting-edge course delves into the transformative impact of small foam wedges placed strategically under the feet, unveiling a realm of enhanced movement efficiency and dynamic performance. Designed for professionals in the fields of rehabilitation, sports training, and strength and conditioning, this workshop presents game-changing tools that are reshaping the way athletes return to competition. Uncover the intricate interplay between foot positioning and biomechanical harmony, as we delve into the mechanics of how these unassuming wedges can unlock a spectrum of benefits.
Educational Objectives
Participants will compare and differentiate between the closed-chain pronation mechanics and supination mechanics as whole body events as it relates to the human gait cycle.
Participants will identify anatomical sites to insert the wedges to increase structural stability, access restricted joint motion, re-establish proper loading patterns, and reinforce proprioceptive feedback.
Participants will organize and duplicate course information to design and execute restorative programs to implement after the conclusion of the course.
