Foot Management – Level 1 Essentials

$350.00

Learn Pilates from the ground up! All of our clients need help with their feet. Learn and practice not only foot and ankle exercises for the five arches of the feet, but learn mobilizations critical to longevity in foot health. Evolution is explained to better understand how we evolved into a bipedal human being.

More practical sessions focus on Pilates apparatus-specific applications to promote fascial connections as well as isolation of the 5 arches of the feet. Detailed osteokinematics of the foot and ankle complex as well as the use of traditional Pilates foot props are explored along with the wobble board, balls and rollers. Transformational gait training completes the training by organizing the fascial slings that make this training a full body experience, in the tradition of Joseph Pilates’ whole body commitment concept of exercise.

The enrollment fee is $495.00 with EARLY BIRD Special pricing of $350.00 available until September 30!   Enrollment Fee includes:

  • 14 hours of pre-recorded instruction, roughly 3.5 per Module, available for the duration of the Course
  • Four modules over four weeks, each a combination of pre-recorded material and a LIVE online interactive practical session over Zoom, with two times for US/UK/EU and Asia learners (10:30AM EST and 6:30PM EST – you’re welcome to take both!)
    • Module 1:  Zoom Calls October 1
      • Module 1 consists of approximately 3.5 hours (in two parts) of live recorded training on the background of the foot describing its anatomy, arches, foot type, axes, biomechanics and osteokinematics culminating in The Five Arches foundational exercises.
    • Module 2: Zoom Calls October 8
      • Module 2 consists of approximately 3.5 hours of live recorded training broken up into 2 parts for easy viewing. It focuses on the axes of the complex with a review of the foundational exercises, continuing with supination, pronation explanations, and culminating with osteokinematics bone rhythm exercises.
    • Module 3: Zoom Calls October 15
      • Module 3 consists of approximately 3 hours of live recorded training on common problems and assessments that help movement educators address clients’ needs. Ideas for easy products are offered that can aid foot minor problems.
    • Module 4: Zoom Calls October 29
      • Module 4 consists of approximately 3 hours of live recorded training continues with a Q and A and progressing to the fascial, sacral and counter-rotational elements involved with gait.

Some lovely comments from our Level 1 participants…

Thank you so much for an amazing course!   …   I have been using many of the exercises on myself and with my clients and have seen benefits and changes already!   …   This has been such a wonderful and thorough series. I really appreciate your wisdom and compassionate approach.
