WORKSHOP 1: Biomechanics & Gait Analysis
Overview
This workshop builds core skills in observing gait and understanding lower‑limb mechanics. Participants learn to spot key movement patterns, link them to common foot conditions, and apply findings directly to treatment planning.
You will learn:
- Foot posture assessment
- Gait cycle phases using video
- Pathological gait patterns
- Load management principles
- Clinical decision‑making
- When biomechanics matter — and when they don’t
Format: Small group or private• 4 CME hours

WORKSHOP 3: Orthotic Modifications
Overview
A focused, hands‑on session that demonstrates the skills and clinical reasoning needed to confidently modify foot orthoses for better patient comfort, function, and treatment outcomes.
Content
-
Identify mechanical contributors to common foot and lower‑limb conditions
-
Select appropriate orthotic modifications based on assessment findings
-
Apply modifications safely, efficiently, and with predictable outcomes
-
Improve patient comfort, function, and treatment adherence
-
Integrate orthotic adjustments into broader care plans

Below is a video, I presented on “Orthotic Modifications” on Podiatry Chat Live with Craig Payne and Ian Griffiths. I did this presentation after a 3 hour seminar at the CFPM conference.
Who Should Attend
- Chiropodists & podiatrists
- Foot‑care specialists seeking CE hours
- New graduates wanting hands‑on confidence
