Pain-free and Anatomically Correct: Knees and Feet

Your clients come to you with knee pain. You work the knee. They feel a little better. They come back with knee pain. Sound familiar?

Here's the thing: unless something has been physically torn or damaged, knee pain is almost never actually about the knee. It's coming from the hip, the foot, or both. This session will show you exactly why– and what you can do about it.

Day 1, Part 3 of the Anatomically Correct Certification covers the knees and feet from the ground up. You'll learn why the knee's ability to rotate (which sounds like a feature, but isn’t) is also its greatest vulnerability; what the "unhappy triad" is and why it happens so predictably in running and cutting sports; and why VMO weakness is hiding behind so many of your clients' knee tracking problems, patellofemoral pain, and general knee grumpiness.

You'll also get the practical stuff: how to actually stretch a quad (hint: not the way everyone does it), a simple daily protocol for building quad strength in clients who can barely tolerate load, how to work left-right imbalances without making the functional side worse, and why "stability before mobility" means something very specific when it comes to the foot.

The feet get their own full section here (because they deserve it and most anatomy courses give them something like two slides). The foot has 26 bones, 36 joints, and more nerve endings than almost anywhere else in the body. It's not just a platform; it's a sensory organ, and treating it that way changes how you work with everything above it.

This is a long session with live Q&A, demonstrations, and exercises you'll do alongside the teaching. By the end, you'll think about knees and feet differently. 

And your clients will get the results they want.
