Practical & Online Training in 2022.
Due to the changing nature of the industry, we have transitioned our workshops to include effective online training which can supplement & enhance reduced hands on components within our workshops.
Our online training will be conveniently available in short specific demonstration videos that can be obtained individually or bundled into packages. The key for you to be at the leading edge with using this modality, is to have a thorough understanding of the theory and mastering the skills. From here you can easily absorb more advanced specific techniques & these expanded online options will be coming soon.

The transformation in digital technology starts with advanced scanning that captures complete foot morphology. Unfortunately, podiatrists have not been capturing foot morphology with standard scanners.
Orthoses aligned with foot morphology are more effective than library / generic shapes. This is particularly evident with more compromised foot structures. Advanced scans include referenced landmarks for accommodations, pfa’s etc which are far more accurate for individual foot modelling. Don’t get left behind!
Shane Toohey presents online via Zoom Tuesday 12th December 7.30pm (30 mins presentation followed by 30 mins Q & A)
