Overview
Graston Technique Orthotics training is a comprehensive approach to the assessment, treatment, and custom fitting of orthotics for many common leg and foot conditions, posture related pain, muscle fatigue, and much more. By the end of the course participants will be able to apply an innovative and evidence-based system of assessment (“6 Tests”) that can effectively identify malalignments, asymmetries and imbalances of the lower kinetic chain. Participants will also be able to fabricate a functional orthotic which includes shell choice, heating, and posting (“6 Steps”) – a process that can be completed in as little as three minutes.
Please note, during hours 3-8 of the course you will need another person to act as your patient.
