ABOUT THE COURSES

PPL course programmes are written in a multidisciplinary format,by Podiatrists and Physiotherapists using current research, promoting evidenced based best practice from a multidisciplinary perspective.

Our primary goal is to make Biomechanical Assessment and Prescription Writing; practical and easy to understand, giving practitioners the ability to confidently prescribe a wide range of devices for your patients, ensuring good outcomes for your patients at all times.

Practical Biomechanics course - Assessment & Prescribing (Basic/Intermediate Level)

This intensive workshop based course explains the new theories of biomechanics, dispelling many of the old myths. Being Non Root based we have been able to dispense with angles, tractographs, bisection lines, numbers and all the old methods that were often found confusing. We advocate a functional, practical approach to biomechanical assessment & prescription.

  • Rearfoot complex
  • Medial Column
  • Rearfoot and forefoot pathomechanics & assessment
  • Clinical gait analysis
  • Casting
  • Common conditions and prescription solutions
  • Using the Prescription Platform
  • Clinical reasoning & prescribing

The objective following this course is that the practitioner will have the knowledge, skills and confidence to biomechanically assess their patient, quantify the prescription, clinically reason the most appropriate type of device to prescribe, cast if appropriate and develop a treatment plan looking at all modalities available.

Advanced Biomechanics course (Experienced casted orthoses prescribers)

Designed for practitioners who have a minimum of 1 year experience of prescribing a range of devices including casted orthoses.

It is advised that delegates have attended the 2 day Practical Biomechanicals Assessment & Prescription course.

A fast paced course to introduce experienced practitioners to new biomechanical theories and a review of current research and new methods of quantification.

This course includes case studies and interactive discussions.

  • New Models & Theories
  • Functional Units
  • Footwear
  • Axes & Foot types
  • Advanced Pathomechanics (concentrating on the forefoot)
  • Developmental flatfoot
  • Case Studies
  • Interactive diagnostic and treatment discussions
