The big picture

You will learn to identify conditions and assess the foot and ankle using palpation, range of movement and special tests.

You'll be equiped with treatment tips and tricks including massage, stretching, taping and exercise.

Discover why and how orthotics are used, as well as when more invasive techniques are required, such as steroid injections and surgery, what you can and cannot treat, which conditions respond well to massage and stretching, when you really do need to refer.
