Anatomy In Focus: Key Muscles & Tendons of the Foot/Ankle
The muscles and tendons that create the "stirrup effect" of the foot and those that help propel the body on the ground are often injured through overuse or specific trauma.
Understanding this anatomy is beneficial for anyone wants to get more enjoyment and satisfaction from their activities. To realize how the muscles and tendons of the foot and ankle are utilized in any weight-bearing exercise helps us to appreciate the hard work they do and enforces the need for knowledge about their care.
Participants will re-create all of the functioning parts from colored clay applied to a detailed, realistic plastic model. Building in this way is an active learning process that is both engaging and informative. Included within the workshop is a movement session using exercises and stretches that focus on the very muscles and tendons that are being made!
