One Day for the Ankle
 |
A
series of new soft tissue releases for the ankle region are presented
with techniques taught for the plantar fascia, posterior and anterior
compartments, and the interosseus membrane. These will establish
pliancy and responsiveness in the myofasciae so that specific joint
restrictions can then be addressed. There will be gentle and effective
mobilising techniques taught for the talus, fibula and calcaneus. |
 |
Participants can expect a
fun day with noticeable changes in their own feet and ankles as one
of the many outcomes. More importantly participants will leave with a greatly improved
ability to treat restrictions at the ankle and see them in relation
to the lower extremities, and pelvis.
Correct function at the ankle is the basis of a feed forward mechanism for the normal action of the SIJs. When the hinge in the ankle works
correctly the innomminate bones
can move properly in relation to the sacrum and adequate "force-closure" of the SIJs occurs. This in turn transmits forces into the trunk, a necessary component of a normal, efficient gait. |
