Description
This workshop focuses on your knees to function in a healthier fashion. The knee is the largest most challenged joint we have. It is situated between the two longest bones in the body, which creates large forces within the knee as we walk, run or jump. Healthy, well aligned knees, deal efficiently with this situation. However, incorrect alignment and lack of proper training can cause the knees to become painful as ligaments, joints and muscles are strained.Objectives

There was an incredible amount of useful information in this workshop. I learned so many new concepts.
Renee D
Hi there! Thanks so much for this video and all of the great info! I would have liked more detail, including some slow motion of her gait, as well as a more thorough breakdown of what I'm looking at/for on the the alignment assessment. Thanks a bunch!Renee:)
Cynthia B
Great information to breakdown alignment, function and correction. Thank you.
Kimberly B
Informative video
Daniella T
I was very familiar with the hip and femur accessory motions, but this video helped me immensely with how to correct and manage a dysfunctional tibia. Having danced and been an equestrian, I realize the implications of turing out from the foot/shin instead of the hip creates challenges to manage later in life. I already notice a difference in how my foot organizes just with the focus to medial hamstring. I will use this on myself and on many of my patients with similar issues. Thank you.
Brenda A
Wonderful information. Great cuing and helpful tips. Love the open chain leg extension when she was seated on the chair. I question some of the rotation cuing in relation to meniscus tears post surgery and will message you about that. Thank you for this video.
