Advanced Foot & Lower-Extremity Deep Tissue Therapy: Structural Assessment & Treatment
Work the structure from its KeyBone.
Simplify your assessment and treatment of the lower limb and foot by working from both sides of their primary force-transfer point — a KeyBone, the talus. A live, hands-on deep-tissue CE course for massage therapists: assess and release the stressed tissue behind the foot and ankle problems you see most — plantar fasciitis, high and fallen arches, bunions, hammer toe, Morton’s neuroma — efficiently, whether you have five minutes or fifty.
