Join internationally recognized extremity authority Dr. Mitch Mally, “The Doctor’s Doctor,” for an intensive four-hour hands-on workshop designed to transform the way you evaluate and treat foot and ankle disorders.

Participants will learn a practical, evidence-informed system for identifying the true mechanical source of pain and dysfunction through precise orthopedic assessment, biomechanics, neurological evaluation, and targeted manual correction. This fast-paced workshop emphasizes immediately applicable clinical procedures that attendees can implement in practice the very next day.

Differential diagnosis of common foot and ankle disorders
Clinical examination pearls and orthopedic testing
Motion palpation and joint-specific analysis
Precision HVLA adjusting procedures
Soft tissue and neurological considerations
Gait mechanics and kinetic chain relationships
Sports injuries and return-to-play strategies
Common diagnostic mistakes and how to avoid them
Live demonstrations followed by supervised hands-on laboratory instruction
Attendees will leave with a reproducible clinical system that improves diagnostic confidence, treatment precision, and patient outcomes for athletes and everyday patients alike.

Learning Objectives

Upon completion of this workshop, participants will be able to:

Perform a comprehensive biomechanical evaluation of the foot and ankle.
Differentiate common causes of foot and ankle pain using orthopedic and neurological examination procedures.
