Im booked for London, hope to put a few names to posts, type thing...

Ted I guess apart from the article below any other full texts you can recomend for reading before we get there ?

 

Hi Michael,

All participants will receive a pre-course pack of Course notes, recommended reading and an mp3 file of a lecture on FMT 'need-to-knows' which I presented and recorded at a recent FMT training.

The best reading is from Michaud's text Foot Orthoses and Other Conservative Forms of Treatment. There's a great section on mobilisation & manipulation physiology, propriception and neurophysiology as well as the indications for FMT.

I'll scan the sections and post them up for you asap.

Cheers,
Ted.

 

Michaud's text docs as promised:

 

Thanks Ted I have a look at those and wait for the rest of the stuff.

 

Hi

I have a confession... I have visited the Brown Land Down Under and I have been on the course Ted is hosting in the UK. It was a fair old step to travel to the other side of the world but it was well worth it, in fact I visited again 6 months later to do another course with him. I know its taken Ted a while to get this endevour of the ground but it really is great that he is finally lecturng in the U.K. If it helps anyone I'll share my experiences.

I visited Ted in his practice and saw firsthand the FMT being put into use and the man practises what he preaches. He lives, eats and breathes FMT - he has to - The Foot and Leg Centre is seeing hundreds of patients a week. There may be someone that knows more about foot mobilisation/manipulation but I've not found them yet.

As his practice is based on this modality Ted’s got lots of really useful practical tips on dealing with patients such as knowing if FMT can help a patient, using x-ray analysis, managing patient expectations, casting techniques, linking FMT to orthotic practice etc etc. He is also a seasoned, realistic Pod that lives in the real world like the rest of us so you can relax in the knowledge that he has cut out the BS in the area of potential Podiatry practice.

I’d definately recommend the UK FMT course Ted is hosting to every Pod treating biomechanical patients. Its cheaper than Singapore Airlines to Adelaide… but I don’t know if there are complimentary Singapore Gin Slings being served?...!:drinks

 

Hi
Fortunately for me, I attended Ted's FMT course's in our home city of Adelaide. After attending the Level one course, I too would have travelled the miles via air like Lawrence to learn more! This is how Ted and his course's leave you- Wanting more.....
I have had a look at Ted's schedule for you all in the UK, wow he is going to busy isn't he. I think it shows just how eager he is to share his FMT knowledge to us, his podiatry colleagues.
I can honestly say that these techniques work as I experienced a treatment first hand. It came about that I had a subluxation of my cuboid. The pain was so severe I was unable to sleep or place my foot to the ground. Luckily for me, I had day 2 of Ted's training session the next day. I limped in, honestly holding back the tears of pain. I am sure Ted was clapping his hands at this point- good demo for the rest of the course attendees! Up on the table, with a few FMT techniques Ted used in a matter of a few minutes, I was standing and walking pain free. It can be that effective for your clients! Since learning FMT, I am amazed we haven't had this treatment method knowledge to benefit our clients before now. Lucky for us Ted is sharing his years of experience with us in a very comfortable, non-threatening environment. Enjoy his courses!

 

Lawrence,

How do Ted's techniques differ from those of others e.g. Maitland technique?

 

Hi Simon

I guess it all depends on what you take as the "T" in FMT. If to you it means "technique", then there are only a finite number of ways that you can skin this particular cat. A talar mobilisation is a talar mobilisation however you chose to do it.

If the "T" means "therapy" then this is where a TedJed course would be far superior IMHO. A Podiatrist doing FMT for Podiatry reasons based upon mechanical reasoning which we would all subscribe to. This is far better as feet are different to spines in the need stability they require. Why would you use FMT as a Podiatrist, when would you not, when on its own and when with exercises or orthotics, which exercises? and etc etc. I dont think a Physio, Osteopath or Chiropractor can give you that. You are of course a pretty darn savvy Pod and could probably learn from these professions and adapt it to your practice but i think the point is Ted's "been there done that" and can help you not to make the mistakes that can cost you time or money.

That said there are come new concepts that Ted has introduced such the use of Activators and drop-piece tables to Podiatric Mobilisation and such is the benefit of living and breathing this stuff.

I have a vested interest - I consider Ted a friend! - but you and I are not on bad terms either so I hope my 2pence helps!

 

Which is why I asked your opinion. Thanks.

 

The FMT course gave me a whole new way to offer treatment for biomechanical cases. The clarity with which Ted presents and his attention to everyone getting their technique ‘right’ is really good.

FMT is now a big part of my everyday practice. I would have paid twice the Registration Fee; the course is really good value. Everyone should know FMT, it’s really added to my skill set.

Hi
I am a 2nd year podiatry student and having watched the clips on FMT are really interested in what the technique has to offer. I wondered as an undergraduate student would I fulfil any criteria required to go on the course? Ie would I be able to attend the course?

Thanks
Sonia

 

Hi Sonia,

How nice to hear from you - your spirited enthusiasm has can be felt down-under!

As a student, you are in a great place because your mind is so willing and open to absorb. The FMT Course is certainly valid for students and you would be most welcome to participate. We offer a special student Registration Fee of 200GBP.

It would be great meet you.

Kind Regards,
Ted.

 

Hi, Hope you can help me, I am interested in attending the London course but would like an idea of whereabouts of the venue so I can look into the cost of accommodation nearby before committing myself. Thanks, Jacqui.

 

Hi Jacqui,

The London Course will be held at the Ramada Jarvis Hyde Park.

Accommodation 'special rates' can be found at;
