In this one-day seminar, clinicians will learn and develop the philosophy, principles and practical skills of this engineering system of the body. Using gait as the template for all activities of daily living, we learn through gait how patients move for all of their ADLs. Students will learn to use three stages; first, evaluating static elements of posture as predictors of gait or dynamic movement patterns and their probable resultant structural vulnerabilities. Next, these dynamic patterns will uncover strategic movement compensations that become visible asymmetries in gait. Treatment will consist of a simple series of gait corrections designed individually to literally remodel the gait pattern. Finally, corroborative exercises will match each gait correction thereby helping to assimilate the newly established gait pattern. Ninety percent of your patients structural pain can be sourced in how they walk. This is a corrective intervention designed to restore functional balance to the body in our most repetitive movement pattern, and ultimately every move that we make.

Why You Would Take This Class

Reduce Treatment Frequency:
This is a patient education system, as well as a way to evaluate, source and treat the cause of the problem, so that it doesn't resurface. Patients/clients learn how with a mere hint of the problem, they can address it immediately themselves, using their specific gait corrections and exercises. Their symptoms become a built in biofeedback system.

Its Global:
Corrective gait applies to almost all structural pain. Since clinicians also walk, they learn best through their own walking how individual gait dictates strengths and weaknesses. For patients with multiple aggravated body parts, this is a technique that connects and addresses all of them at once: In order to balance a sore and participatory link of any gait moment, you must assess the relationships between it and all of the other joints of the body for their contributions to the same gait moment. This makes this system the perfect prevention strategy; one that can often eliminate less constructive alternatives like bracing, surgery or extreme drugs.

Trust Your Eye:
Learn to look through the perspective of posture, gait and balance, for weaknesses and inflexibilities and even shapes and contours that contribute to asymmetry in the normal movement pattern. Asymmetry leads to structural vulnerability, dysfunction and pain. This is visible and changeable by simple gait corrections and corroborative exercises.

Objectives

Pathomechanics

Gait Mechanics review; Mechanically Effective Gait
Individual Gait Development or Etiology
Understand Relationships between Gait Deviations and Structural Pain
Describe the Strategic Gait Compensations, or Deviations that reflect Pathology and predispose Pain Patterns

Evaluation

Evaluate Static Posture as a predictor of Dynamic Posture in Gait
Understand the Role of Symptoms in the Evaluative Process
Translate Your Evaluation to Specific Gait Corrections
Analyze each Weight-bearing Joint as it contributes to Dynamic Posture in Gait
Educate Patients/Clients on their Individual Findings

Treatment

Utilize Corrective Walking as a Treatment Modality
Treat the Source instead of treating the Symptoms
Corroborate Assessment Findings with Appropriate Exercises, designed to simulate Specific Gait Moments
Learn to Utilize KT Tape to reinforce the Gait Corrections for Faster Assimilation.

Rehabilitation

Educate patients to Read' their own bodies for Vulnerabilities and to stay current with their Gait Corrections
Educate patients to Read' and modify Exercise Programs and to incorporate the New Awareness into their Activities of Daily Living
