Clinical Biomechanics Boot Camp; Manchester (v2.0) & London (v1.5&v2.0); Aug 2013

Due to popular demand (I was going to hold of on this for a while, but am surprised at the interest from the UK, when I announced v2.0 for Australia and New Zealand!)

So hopefully, this does not get confusing:
Manchester Sunday 4th August; Clinical Biomechanics Boot Camp v2.0 (this is the one day version that has different content to the original Boot Camp v1.0)
London Monday 5th & Tuesday 6th August; Clinical Biomechanics Boot Camp v1.5 (this is the two day version that combines the content from v1.0 and v2.0)
London Tuesday 6th August Clinical Biomechanics Boot Camp v2.0 (this is the one day version that has different content to the original Boot Camp v1.0; this is the second day of the v1.5, so both groups are combined on the Tuesday)

The topics for v2.0 (the one day in Manchester and London) are listed below. Below that are the first day of topics for v1.5 (this is a condensed version of the old 1.0, with some redundant topics removed. The content for day 2 of the v1.5 are the same as version v2.0.

Hopefully that makes sense! Basically, if you have not been to a Boot Camp v1.0 or are a sucker for punishment and want to go again, then v1.5 in London is for you. If you have been before, then v2.0 is for you. You can certainly do a v2.0 in Manchester or London without having been to a v1.0, as they are stand-alone courses! Confused?

I will finalise venues closer to time when have clearer indication of numbers for each venue, so please register early. The London one is probably going to be at a hotel at Gatwick Airport.

Topics to be covered in v2.0:

• Short or long term use of foot orthotics?
• Deconstruction all the social media crap on foot orthotics and running form
• Why do overuse injuries occur?
• SAID – Specific adaptation to imposed demand
• Lower the force or increase the ability of the tissue to take the force?
• How to increase the ability of tissues to take the force
• How to spot cherry picking, confirmations bias and the usual trope of argumentative fallacies
• Toning Shoes
• Whats more important: Proximal or distal control of the lower limb?
• Minimalism vs Maximalism
• Tabulation of foot orthotic design features for prescription variables
• When to run which way; deciding which running ‘form’ is better for which individual
• Making clinical decisions in the context of all the online and media driven rhetoric and propaganda
• Running shoes, foot orthotics and their effects on muscle strength
• Advising runners and facilitating the transition to different running forms
• Increased understanding of the role of fascia in foot biomechanics
• Trends vs Fads; the gullibility of the athletic market
• The running shoes and knee osteoarthritis debacle
• The ideamotor scam

• What to do in the absence of evidence
• Solving the problem of which running shoe prescription when

Nooooooooooooo. I'm away then and can't attend. You can't possibly be serious?

 

Hey Craig,

I have been trying to book V2 (Tuesday only) in London, but Paypal will only accept payment for V1 & V2. Much as I liked V1, I`ve already heard it a couple of times......

 

I have fixed the link for payment - for some unknown or stupid reason, the code kept reverting. I had to rebuild the whole page from scratch and it works now.

Will send confirmations tomorrow.

 

Hi

Do you have a venue arranged for the London Bootcamp yet? Needing to get transport and accommodation arranged. Thanks

 

London: Holiday Inn at Gatwick Airport
Manchester: Holiday Inn at Manchester Airport
