This workshop will introduce attendees to the basic concepts of manual foot therapy (MFT). It will include common foot and ankle conditions helped by MFT; foot evaluation; massage; and mobilization techniques. Some of the techniques will be demonstrated and practiced.
The MFT techniques demonstrated are predominantly based on the mobilization and manipulation techniques of the Hiss-Tikker osteopathic method.
