Foot Biomechanics and Patho-mechanics: Posture Controls Function: Evaluation and Management of Foot and Ankle Conditions


In the foot, more than anywhere else in the body, posture dictates functions. In this seminar, attendees will learn how arch height turns the foot from a propulsive lever in supination to a loosened, adaptable structure in pronation. Learn how to use postural changes in the foot to reverse twenty-five of the most common orthopedic diagnoses of the lower extremities without surgery. MASS Posture Theory, taught by its inventor, is shifting common biomechanical conceptions about how the foot works with a physics-based approach that makes significant positive changes in the gait cycle to improve efficiency, endurance, and strength while reversing deformity and incidence of injury from excessive pronation. 

Dr. Glaser teaches how MASS Posture Theory can be applied to improve patient outcomes and better maintain improvements made to maintain intraoperative alignment post-operatively by correcting the patients’ posture and gait cycle. Form follows function, not only in the direction of disease and deformity but also in the direction of health and reversal of mechanically-induced pathologies without surgery.
