Take The Gait Foundations Course

"Thank you for Gait Foundations: Managing Common Presentations of the Foot. I am a podiatrist and found the course very helpful and I will use it during my clinical assessments. Although surgically trained I still want to maximize what patients can do by increasing mobility in the foot and up the chain. Looking forward to more stuff from you."

Dr. Janie Trinh

“I absolutely loved Gait Foundations: Managing Common Presentations of the Foot! This has been a really important missing piece of the puzzle. I already know how important feet are (and frequently see clients who clearly have a foot problem causing issues all over their body) but lacked the understanding of the nitty gritty behind the mechanics of different foot types. This has pulled all of this together for me. I'm looking forward to using this with my clients. Thanks Dr Perez and Dr Conley."
