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
