The clay building process is an integral component in the 'tactile' learning process within this class. 

I guide you through building a clay model of the lower leg, ankle, foot, and toes.

This process enhances your relationship with the tissue so that when it is talking, you have a clearer concept of what imbalances are contributing to the conversation...and the techniques to restore balance and calm things down.

As you build your clay model, you will be guided through the process, including forming the bones, interosseous membrane, ligaments, retinacula, and muscles. As you assemble each component into your model, an appropriate video of the corrective technique for that component will follow. This enhances and refines your ability to palpate specific tissue and perform the corrective techniques.

For example, after you have layered on your Flexor Hallicus Longus, a short video will guide you through the corrective technique as you apply the technique to your own Flexor Hallicus Longus.

Flexor Hallucis Longus

ORIGIN: Distal 2/3 of the posterior surface of fibula, interosseous membrane, adjacent intermuscular septa, and fascia.

INSERTION: Plantar surface of the base of distal phalanx of the big toe.

ACTION: Flexes big toe, contributes to plantar-flexion/inversion of the foot at the ankle, and participates in ankle stabilization.
