Dr. Emily, thanks for continuing to present these webinars. I hope to be able to take the level 2 BFS course later this year. The webinars have been super helpful in keeping my knowledge base current and fresh. I hope all is well with you! ✌🏽

Thank you for this excellent webinar Emily. You have the most amazing teaching style. I find your enthusiasm infectious and you explain everything in such a logical and clear way. As a podiatrist myself specialising in foot biomechanics, I keep up to date with all your webinars as CPD and you are by far the best teacher I’ve come across in the 22 years of my profession. You really are a breath of fresh air! Would love to attend one of your events if ever you came to the UK. Thank you for all you do. X

This is the complete explanation. Wow. I know my bunion have come from this as strengthening my arches pulls my great toes back into position. I m hyper mobile and find injury easily. I’m going to get some arch supports for my feet in minimalist shoes. Currently tore my toe ligament.

Oblique joint axis of ankle joint is understood. Is the axis of the talonavicular also the same?

Hi Emily. Great detailed breakdown of the foot biomechanics, assessment and also clinical decision making. I’m a chiropractor and I learned something from you. Particularly the way you teach and bring us to touch our own feet, and visualise the plane of the joints. Explaining coupled motion and that helped me understand talus neutral and navicular drop. If I may ask a question: I see a lot of patients with ankle problems. Because it’s not my main field, I usually did not do much more than assessing the registry in the foot, and doing my adjustment work on those rigid joints. In the case of the arthritic rigid mid foot; what would your recommendations be regarding joint manipulation and surgery?

The joint coupling at the mid foot of Everson adduction and plantarflexion is not clear. In the everted adducted position the ankle seems to be in more in a dorsiflexed angle.
