This
three day class will greatly expand your skill in working with both injuries to
the lower limb and also improving function for all of your clients.
We will cover in depth
the complex chain of events that occur in the foot, knee, hip, pelvis, and
resultant strain up the body when our clients have dysfunction in just any one
of these links. This workshop will examine the kinesiological, myofascial, and
joint adaptations that impede healing or prevent normal function in healthy
clients.
Primary
emphasis will be on treatment strategies for all three joints and movement
training to return normal function to the smooth operation of all three joints.
This class has received rave reviews from Rolfers®, physical therapists,
and podiatrists, as well as general bodywork therapists.

Comments
on the workshop
Art’s
original training in kinesiology has
always informed his Rolfing but it is
nowhere
more apparent and useful than in his
unique
understanding of myofascial influences
on the
knee joint. I cannot recommend this
workshop too
strongly. Art’s viewpoint regarding
gait patterns
and the myofascial influences on the
knee joint is
essential knowledge for any effective
management
of misalignment between the upper and
lower leg
and the resultant strains and feedback
loops with
the
foot, knee, hip and pelvis. I wouldn’t miss it.
~Michael Salveson, Rolf Institute Advanced Faculty
I
heartily recommend the upcoming workshop on
the knee given by Art Riggs. Art
Riggs’ knowledge
is encyclopedic, particularly when it
comes to
knees. I have assisted Art in a number
of trainings
and I have found his patient,
thorough, hands-on
approach to teaching enables the
student to readily
absorb knowledge and new skills.
~ Bob Robinson, Rolfing since 1974
