Movement From the Ground Up: Assessment, Gait, and Foot Mechanics

Learn how to assess gait, foot mechanics, posture, and movement compensations to improve alignment, movement quality, performance, and injury prevention.

On-Demand Webinar 1 CEC Quiz Included

Train the Foot, Transform the Body (Day 1): Most trainers overlook the foot, even though it influences posture, movement quality, balance, gait mechanics, performance, and injury risk throughout the body.

In this live 3-part educational series, you’ll learn how to assess movement compensations, analyze gait mechanics, apply corrective exercise strategies, and improve functional movement from the ground up.

The course combines movement assessment, corrective exercise principles, practical coaching application, and exercise demonstrations to help trainers immediately apply these concepts with real clients across a wide range of populations and ability levels.
