Course Description 

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.

Testimonials

“Rocky’s hands-on (and wedge) approach to foot mobilization provided our coaches with practical and advanced techniques that have improved both performance outcomes and injury mitigation strategies for our athletes. This workshop provided our team with a refreshing perspective on biomechanics and functional anatomy, offering valuable insights that have already improved the approach for our athletes.”

Andrea Hudy

UConn Women’s Basketball Director of Sports Performance

“Rocky's deep understanding of biomechanics and joint function has shifted my approach on movement training. Implementing small foam wedges in our training for individual athletes has transformed the way I assess and coach movement—enhancing proprioceptive feedback and improving joint alignment. Rocky’s teachings have begun to elevate my programming, and I now see foot function as the foundation of athletic performance.”

Katie Guillory

LSU Volleyball & Gymnastics Coach

“Rocky Snyder delivered a highly impactful workshop for our Sharks and Barracuda performance staff on biomechanics, gait, and foot wedge application. His ability to simplify complex concepts into practical strategies is exceptional. We now have actionable insights that have changed how we approach movement and rehab for our hockey players.”
