Course overview

Most foot problems can be treated without the need for invasive surgical procedures. This course looks at the most effective non-surgical treatments. Foot problems often develop over a period of time as a result of incorrect footwear, inappropriate exercise, imbalanced posture or simply as a result of walking on hard surfaces. This course looks at the various foot problems and how to rectify them with some care and attention, non-surgical treatments and correct exercise and hygiene.
