The Neurofascial Foot
The foot in action is a deft marriage of biomechanics and sensory feedback. When our feet encounter pain, neuropathy, or movement limitation, can we discover what aspects of the foot’s function are involved?

about the event
Try this — before a walk or run, take a few minutes to massage just one of your feet. Then see how your body moves and feels. You are likely to feel a difference between the sides, not just in the foot, but in all the places under that foot’s influence. Which turns out to be many places.
A combination of structural behavior and neurofascial self-regulation causes the foot to be a dynamic bridge between body and ground. How does the brain integrate foot sensation with walking/running? How does the nervous system regulate inflammation and blood flow in the foot?
What should be done when these systems functions poorly?
That’s what this hands-on class covers: The nerves and neural behavior of the foot and how these interact with its mechanics. We will also learn some useful principles for assessment & treatment of the foot.
