Movement Based & Multimodal Approach to Performance

A deep understanding of foot and ankle anatomy is crucial for correct diagnosis and treatment. You'll learn assessment strategies for the most common pathologies: plantar fasciitis, posterior tibial tendonitis, Achilles tendonitis, ankle sprains and more! Join Dr. Courtney Conley, founder of Gait Happens with over 155,000 followers on Instagram, as she arms you with her tried and true methods for addressing foot/ankle dysfunction:

• In-depth biomechanical analysis of the foot and ankle anatomy that will enhance your clinical decision making
• Differential diagnosis for the most prevalent conditions: plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendonitis, posterior tibial tendonitis and ankle sprains — and effective treatment protocols tailored to each pathology
• How to improve foot function without using an orthotic or brace
• Long-term effects of chronic ankle instability — and how to address it!
• Bust the common myths of treating tendons
• Simple and effective taping strategies for the 4 most common diagnoses

From kinesiology taping strategies to corrective exercises and footwear recommendations, you'll be able to implement these low cost and game-changing interventions right away.

With a unique breakdown of kinetic chains, this whole-body approach will equip you with actionable screening and assessment strategies for the hip complex alongside multidimensional treatment strategies. You'll walk through live applications of how to address the most common dysfunctions of the hip with progressive and regressive strategies for treating pain, mobility, stability, and motor control. With an accurate and thorough assessment, you will no longer have to wonder what the next treatment step is.

• Targeted solutions for all of the most common issues including:

• Dozens of exercises with progression and regression techniques
• Unique breakdown of kinetic chains to optimize your whole-body approach
• Expand your treatment toolbox with innovative uses for cups, compression floss, kinesiology tape and more!

With easy-to-integrate assessment techniques that incorporate the entire kinetic chain, you'll explore:

• How to quickly identify the root cause of impairment; structural, muscular, or neuro?
• Global assessment techniques for the entire kinetic chain
• Effective techniques for pain mitigation, tissue mobility and movement neurofeedback
• Easy-to-follow and simple-to-implement progressions for your treatment

Filled with live demonstrations and applications of cutting-edge techniques, you don't want to miss this opportunity to break free of the 'norm' and reach a new level of success. Feel more confident in your ability to treat even the most complex shoulder injuries.

More runners are being injured than ever before and too many practitioners are using antiquated assessment and treatment methods. This flies in the face of our “growing” understanding of treating injuries and deciphering running biomechanics.

If all you're looking at is volume, intensity and time… you're missing one of the biggest pieces of the running puzzle — movement quality.

Learn a holistic approach to athlete management, the role that aerobic capacity (or lack thereof) plays in almost all injuries, and most importantly, the miseducation around what is considered normal from a running gait perspective.

• Why do so many running injuries occur? And how can you prevent them?
• Why are some people plagued with chronic injuries while others are rarely affected?
• How much do “proper” mechanics and foot strike matter?
• How to effectively tailor training programs around injury management
• What can you do to get runners doing work outside the sagittal plane?

You'll also explore hot topics like VO2 max, footwear, foot strike and gait analysis. Walk away with dynamic and functional assessment strategies that save you time alongside today's most effective conservative musculoskeletal care techniques.

Best of all? These strategies are applicable for all lower extremity athletes and injuries, not just runners! Register today!

Throwing all your best movement mojo at a patient and still striking out? Getting results but the issue keeps coming back? Let's break down how your patient's systemic inflammation may be diminishing your clinical MSK outcomes. In this recording, we'll explore the connection between the gut and the brain and how that influences pain perception, tissue healing and movement. Get your patient to respond better to MSK care with this systemic approach that presents practical and actionable screening and intervention.

For decades, strength programs have focused on bi-lateral symmetry… but that strategy may actually be hindering performance. Modern day neuroscience has unlocked the potential of unilateral training as an essential component of peak performance for many of today's athletes. Set yourself apart with these neurologic foundations that are underutilized by today's performance professionals.

• Improve motor strength and transfer by specific targeting neural systems
• Customize solutions for your programming based on client's presentation
• Use strength training as a pain-relief tool
• Determine exactly when to use what type of contraction — and does it really matter?
• Improve motor coordination by adding perturbation variables to strength work

You'll also learn re-assessment skills that streamline your treatment plans while instilling confidence for both the practitioner and patient. This session provides a powerful training approach that incorporates neurologic techniques for a faster improvement timeline. It's the ultimate recipe for specificity: the right kind of strength for the right kind of person at the right time.

Tap into muscle fatigue that you never even comprehended was possible. When a cuff is used to reduce blood flow, your patient gets both mechanical and metabolic stimulation at the same time — more bang for your buck! View this session to watch Ed dive into common lower extremity injuries and how to use BFR to accelerate recovery in:

• Achilles tendon injuries
• Jumper's knee
• Hamstring issues

Learn advanced drills for pushing your clients to the next level. Help your clients build strength, hypertrophy and endurance while increasing your opportunities for career advancement and patient referrals.

Ask yourself this question, "Are my patients actually doing the program I recommended to them?" If we're being honest with ourselves, the answer is an adamant "Nope!" It's easy to blame the patients for this, however, it is our job to iterate how important the at-home exercises are for their progression of care and healing. Learn streamlined communication tactics, strategies for setting goals that matter, and low cost/no cost exercise program aides. This session will equip you with fresh ideas to increase your patient compliance and results!
