COURSE DESCRIPTION

 This is an essential course for any clinician that works with patients suffering from disorders of the foot and ankle. These conditions can be difficult to treat and often leave clinicians frustrated.

Information will be presented in a clinically relevant manner with hands on practical labs to develop skill in treatment. Upon conclusion, the participant will have a solid understanding of these principles and how to utilize them in their daily practice.
