Clinical Biomechanics Boot Camps
Theory and Practice over two days | Suitable for all levels of experience
Mission statement:
The application of all the most recent thought, concepts, ideas, theories and research on foot biomechanics and foot orthotics into clinical practice.
Objectives:
At the end of this course, participants will:
Have a greater understanding of the most recent concepts, ideas, theories and research that could impact on the clinical practice of biomechanics and foot orthoses
Better critically evaluate their own clinical practice in the context of the most recent concepts, ideas, theories and research on clinical biomechanics and foot orthoses
