GETTING STUCK WITH THOSE TRICKY FEET AND ANKLES?
Â
Move beyond muscle isolation and rediscover the foot as the foundation of global movement.
This evidence-informed course integrates Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilisation (DNS), fascial systems, and movement-based assessment to help you understand, assess, and retrain the foot and ankle with purpose.
 This is a highly practical course that can be applied immediately in the clinic, gym or studioÂ
Gain a clear framework for clinical reasoning, practical strategies for restoring control before strength, and the confidence to connect local foot stability to whole-body performance.
Â
Redefine control. Rebuild function. Restore movement — from the ground up.





Advance your expertise in foot and ankle movement assessment and retraining for rehab, performance, and injury prevention.
Redefining control, connection, and clinical clarity — from the ground up.
Do you ever feel like every foot and ankle rehab plan starts to look the same?
You’re not alone. Most clinicians are taught to strengthen, stretch, or stabilise — but rarely to understand how the foot integrates with the rest of the body through the nervous system and fascial chains.
This course changes that.
Advance your expertise in foot and ankle movement assessment and retraining for rehab, performance, and injury prevention.
đź’ˇ Why This Course
Foundations of Function: Foot & Ankle in Motion brings together Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilisation (DNS) principles, fascial connections, and movement science to help you see the foot as more than a local structure - it’s the foundation of global stability.
You’ll discover how foot and ankle function influence balance, propulsion, and motor planning across the entire kinetic chain. By understanding the neuromuscular patterns that underpin efficient movement, you’ll stop treating symptoms and start restoring intelligent control.
🔍 What You’ll Learn
This course guides you through a clinically relevant, research-informed exploration of:
-
The key stabilisation roles of the foot and ankle in functional weight-bearing movement
-
How to assess movement and control through a DNS and fascial framework
-
Identifying faulty neuromotor patterns that drive recurring pain or poor performance
-
Rebuilding foot-to-core connections for optimal efficiency, balance, and propulsion
-
Practical exercise progressions that restore control before strength

⚡ Step into Clinical Clarity
Foundations of Function: Foot & Ankle in Motion gives you the tools to look at the foot differently — as the driver of movement, not the afterthought.
Because when you stabilise the base, the whole system changes.
→ Enrol now and start restoring intelligent movement from the ground up.
By the end of Foundations of Function: Foot & Ankle in Motion you will...
1
Prescribe with Confidence Using Foundational and progressive Exercises
By the end of this course, you’ll have a structured framework of foot and ankle rehab exercises, each meticulously designed to enhance stability, balance, mobility, and strength. You’ll gain the confidence to prescribe the right exercise at the right time, with a clear understanding of why it’s needed. This will empower you to make informed clinical decisions and help your clients achieve true control and function - starting from the ground up.


2
Teach Movement with Purpose -Not Just Instructions
Discover how to go beyond simply giving exercises. You’ll master skill-based teaching strategies that improve client compliance, engagement, and understanding. Whether you’re working with a beginner or an advanced client, you’ll learn how to deliver clear, purposeful movement cues that resonate. Better teaching means better client buy in, and better buy in leads to better outcomes.
3
Build Rehab Plans That Start Simple—and Deliver Real Results
Say goodbye to generic “top five” exercises. This course will teach you how to design targeted, functional rehab plans rooted in foundational control and neuromuscular stability. These plans are easy to integrate into daily life, ensuring long-term adherence and faster progress. Whether you’re addressing simple or complex cases, you’ll have the tools to create strategies that work - and deliver lasting results for your clients.
