Assessment of the Foot & Ankle Complex (Intermediate)

Assessment of the Foot & Ankle Complex (Intermediate), Learn How to Confidently Assess Anyone With Foot & Ankle Pain.

I remember being a Junior Physiotherapist on my first Musculoskeletal outpatient rotation. MSK was definitely my area of interest coming out of University, and I couldn’t wait to get going and show off my skills. Then my first client came in. They were experiencing ongoing lateral ankle pain. In the absence of any trauma, I (quite rightly) assumed a sprain was unlikely. I then palpated around the joints and the various bony landmarks – no bony tenderness – good, a fracture was unlikely. Then I froze. I had no idea what to do next. No idea where to go. No idea how to complete the assessment and confidently diagnose the issue.

This course is designed for junior me – and I’m sure there are many more juniors I’m out there.

Since that day, I have gone on to specialize in all things lower limbs. My background in professional football, as well as privately supporting several high-performance athletes from various sporting disciplines (Ironman, Ultramarathons, Sprinters), has allowed me to become comfortable assessing the foot and ankle in the context of elite sport and the demands that come with that (often in front of thousands of people with only a minute to do so!).

During this course, you will learn how to confidently assess the foot & ankle complex so that you can deal with ANY non-traumatic conditions that come through your door. Not only that, I will walk you through my step-by-step lower limb assessment protocol (that I perform with ALL clients presenting with lower limb complaints).
