FRC With The Experts

The FRC technique allows a single cast to be used throughout the treatment episode. It is adjustable, minimal where possible and unlike typical Casting practice has research evidence and development in clinical practice to support its use. The technique was investigated and researched and introduced to the UK by Anne Petty and Chris Wardman, TEACH Directors. Training and the underpinning education for the modern practitioner is an imperative. This course is both practical and theoretical and allows for beginners to the technique as well as those wishing to advance their practice.

NEW! Ponseti Treatment for CTEV

Dr Ponseti described  the club foot deformity as a complex rotation of the foot around the head of the talus. Additional deformities arise due to the abnormal pull of the muscles and tendons.

The method of treatment advocated by him is now well accepted and there is evidence that the long term results appear to be better than the results of open joint surgery.

Training in the method is an imperative for those who aspire to practice the method.  It requires in depth understanding, training and practice and confidence.

What are the aims of the course?

To equip the student with the knowledge and skills needed to plan the implementation of this evidence based technique  within their practice, and to identify areas of any further training needed.

Who is the course for?

The course is for any Health Care Professionals who want to update their casting practice using  research based techniques.

What will the course cover?

An overview of Talipes and Atypical Talipes with the relevant anatomy and physiology.

Practical “hands on casting” opportunities of the Ponseti technique.
