Discover ways you detect and/or alleviate common foot pathologies. Combining four articles written especially for the Institute's Massage Professionals Update E-newsletter, this brief program will provide insights into:

  • Identifying and helping clients affected by heel spurs.
  • Bodywork techniques for plantar fasciitis.
  • How discomfort from Morton's Toe can be eased using massage therapy.
  • Recognizing a potential case of plantar warts.

In the Foot Pathologies program we've combined four articles written especially for the Institute's Massage Professionals Update. These four articles include:

  • Using Massage to Address Heel Spurs - Find out why massage therapists who are knowledgeable about heel spurs and their treatment are in an ideal position to help affected clients.
  • Bodywork Techniques for Plantar Fasciitis - There is more than one approach to help someone with plantar fasciitis. In this article, learn about this inflammation of the plantar fascia and find nine ways massage can be used to relieve this common type of foot pain.
  • Morton's Toe: One Little Bone, One Big Problem - The human body contains many wonderful things. Most of them have been handed down genetically, from parent to child, and there is little we can do to change them. One such trait is called Morton's Toe. Only about 10 percent of the world population has this attribute, where the second toe appears longer than the first. About 80 percent of those with Morton's Toe suffer from chronic pain. Much of it is thought to derive from this relatively rare foot configuration. Learn how discomfort from Morton's Toe can be eased using massage therapy.
  • Plantar Wart Detection for Bodyworkers - Even if your clients don't know what lurks on the undersides of their feet, discover why massage therapists must be able to recognize a potential case of plantar warts.

You can either read the articles by clicking on any of the titles above or upon enrollment you'll be able to access these articles and your online test through your online course account.
