Most therapists do not have a detailed knowledge of the anatomy of the feet – even though they underlie every single thing we do!   Each foot has 26 bones, 33 joints, and more than 100 tendons, muscles, and ligaments. Knowing this anatomy will dramatically enhance the quality of your work.  It will also help you problem-solve problems of injury and chronic tension in the feet that are so common.

In this class you will spend a blissful day learning about the anatomy of the foot, learning advanced techniques and experiencing detailed, relaxing foot work!  This will add a new dimension to what you offer your clients and add tremendously to their satisfaction with your work and its results.

Learn:

  • The 4 layers of muscles in the soles of the feet – both extrinsic and intrinsic
  • The structure of the muscles on the dorsum of the foot
  • More about the plantar ligament and plantarfascitis
  • Essential trigger points
  • Cross-fiber friction for key ligaments
  • Deep massage and Zero Balancing techniques to benefit both the structure and energy flow through the feet
