Full foot contact work is the foundation for all other body movement. This workshop studies techniques for using the Jumpboard (or footplate) in a closed kinetic chain approach to deepening the level of your strength and balance.

Objectives

  • Retraining and reinforcing proper movement patterns of the whole body via the “foundation” of the body through full foot contact work.
  • Gain a better understanding of the foot:
    • As the foundation of the body.
    • As the relationship to the pelvic structures reinforcing Core connections.
  • Optimal foot placement with dynamic alignment support.
