Foot Mobilisation Therapy
by Ted Jedynak
We are pleased to welcome Ted Jedynak, the Australian founder of Foot Mobilisation Therapy (FMT), as the leading expert in this field for our symposium in Göttingen. He will travel a great distance to share his valuable knowledge. In this course, designed as a hybrid course, you will learn online about the anatomy and biomechanics, conservative therapies for the foot, with a focus on insole fitting. Ted Jedynak will also provide his online course system Level 1 and 2 before the course. Here, you will learn the basics of chiropractic for the foot, mobilisation techniques, and the most important manipulation techniques. These techniques can then be practiced intensively during the hands-on course, where Ted Jedynak and his team will closely supervise the participants.
