Our gait, whether walking or running, is one of our great evolutionary gifts.

It is also one of the most common sources of lower limb & back injury clinical presentations.

We blame age, wear & tear & overuse, focus on management of the local pathology & do a ton of glute strengthening exercises, hip flexor releases & calf stretches.

Sometimes it works. But a lot of the time the problem either grumbles on, or persists. 

What if there was a bigger picture to tap into?

In this introductory JEMS experience, international movement expert Joanne Elphinston will be sharing with you the top tips & most effective strategies that have underpinned her work with top performers in sport at Olympic & World Championship all the way through to chronic pain presentations.

Whether you work with athletes, weekend warriors or the older population, this one day interactive workshop will equip you with new tools for assessment & treatment, & an enjoyable, practical & surprisingly simple approach help people to find their way to ease, efficiency & even pleasure in their gait. 

* Learn the biomechanical secrets that can powerfully unlock the movement potential in both walking & running, based on how our anatomy evolved to use the forces around us.

* Overcome frustrating barriers to progress by discovering how our emotional patterns alter our biomechanics, inhibiting key muscles & facilitating others.

* Help your patients to access automatic movement responses in the body with simple cues that free their brains to make new choices. 

If you have ever encountered...  

“Why haven’t the glute/core/foot exercises worked?”

“Why was it all going well & then suddenly it isn’t?”  

“Why isn’t my running/walking better even though I do all the exercises?”

…then treat yourself to a fun & practical exploratory day, & step into the potency of working at the interface of biomechanics, embodied emotion, brain & mind, & as it applies to gait across the functional spectrum.
