DescriptionImprove your treatment of foot pain by exploring common surgical techniques and post-op protocols, including proximal medial gastrocnemius release, and TMT fusions, as well as evidence for PRP vs. steroid injections. Learn the latest options for post-op bracing, dynamic AFO, foot orthoses and footwear. Discover the most important manual techniques for proper healing, including IASTM, joint mobilizations, and dynamic cupping. Go beyond the standard elastic band exercises with “yoga toes” and “arch pull-ups” to get your patients back on their feet. This is an information-packed, must-attend session.
