Course Description

With an emphasis on immediate clinical application to orthopedic knee, lower leg and foot dysfunction, this fun and interactive movement lab introduces ways of making the exercises we use more informative, functional and much more effective. Discover how:

  • Poorly organized movement in the hips & pelvis contributes to localized down-chain musculoskeletal pain.
  • Movement quality changes in response to traumatic lower extremity injury.
  • Many knee, ankle & foot pain syndromes or repetitive stress injuries are a result of faulty lower extremity mechanics.
  • Faulty mechanics will arise secondary to traumatic injury.
  • An integrated exercise & proprioceptive self-awareness training program improves outcomes.  


In this course, you will:

  • Participate in integrated movement exercises that focus on the relationships between feet, knees, hips & pelvis.
  • Analyze the movements for clinical relevance & contrast with a traditional therapeutic movement model. 
  • Improve your fluency in the universal language of movement—proprioceptive awareness & choice-based motor habit optimization.  


This multi-media lab course features 6 hrs. of video recorded labs, interspersed within the 4 hrs. of written material and separated by chapters. All videos are linked and easily accessible. 

GORDON BROWNE, PT

Physical Therapist, Author & Instructor

I started my physical therapy career in the early 1980’s. Yes, I've been around awhile! Growing up as a movement junkie, I enjoyed games, sports and martial arts. I went to PT school hoping to learn about movement. I learned lots of great stuff in my rehab training, but learning about how the body moves or how to get a body to move better was not one of them. For this, I had to venture outside traditional rehab sources. I have studied the Feldenkrais Method, T’ai Chi, Yoga and Qi Gong over the last 30 years, and have incorporated elements of these movement systems into my PT practice. Learning and utilizing these systems opened my eyes to the unintentional mistakes and erroneous assumptions seen in much of both rehab related and fitness related exercise. I knew I wasn't alone in my search so I started teaching continuing education courses to rehab professionals in 1999 hoping to share this knowledge with my colleagues. I've written 2 books: A Manual Therapists' Guide to Movement (book & audio) and Outsmarting Low Back Pain (booklet & video).

Course Objectives

At the completion of the course, participants will be able to:

  • Describe the Transfer Principle & list 2 motor learning strategies that are suggested.

  • Identify habitual movement mistakes & correlate to plantar fasciitis, anterio/lateral ankle impingement, Achilles’ tendinosis, anterior knee pain, knee osteoarthritis & more.
