SHOCKWAVE THERAPY FOR LOWER LIMB CONDITIONS (FOOT AND ANKLE COMPLEX)

The course will involve both radial and focused shockwave therapy as well as EMTT.

Stuart covers shockwave for treating the most common indications such as plantar fasciitis and chronic tendinopathies but also includes shockwave for first joint pain, forefoot Morton’s neuroma, the ankle complex, shin splints, myofascial calf pain, dorsal foot and calcaneal bursitis. He will share case studies and his own recipes for treatment success.

The day is split between theory and practical sessions to ensure practical experience is gained with the device and to explore this revolutionary treatment that has helped clinics develop effective programs for their patients.

The course will begin at 9am and end at approximately 4pm and will be hosted in either our London or Liverpool training centres. There will be a break around midday for lunch, which is provided. Any dietary requirements will be requested on booking.
