Biomechanics - Lower Body - NAT Diploma Course (9 hrs)
Biomechanics of the Lower Body
What can we do when the simple act of walking, jogging or running goes wrong?Should we wait until our clients experience pain or problems before we intervene and what are our treatment options when gait goes awry?
Objectives
This course will help you understand the role and function of myofascia in normal gait.
We present the most efficient biomechanical paths that take advantage of the properties of myofascial chains.
We present the ‘essential events’ required to take place for ideal technique to be achieved and learn what commonly goes wrong.
You will learn a variety of tools and techniques to restore efficient movement and decrease the incidence of injuries.
We will cover:
- The role and function of fascia.
- Key myofascial and anatomical links through the body.
- Explain the sequence of essential events required for ideal walking technique.
- Key components of a biomechanical assessment including the biomechanics of the feet.

- Incorporate the role of core stability in management and prevention.
- Apply theory of myofascial chains into a selection of exercises to manage and prevent injury (strengthening, flexibility, motor control and coordination).
