FMLE: Functional Mobilization Lower Extremities (Oct 10 - 12, 2025)

FMLE: Functional Mobilization Lower Extremities is organized by The Institute of Physical Art, Inc. (IPA) and will be held from Oct 10 - 12, 2025 at Hunter College,, New York, New York, United States of America.

Description:

FMLE provides the clinician a dynamic and fully integrated FMT approach to assessment and treatment of the lower extremity.  The course participant will discuss complex clinical presentations and practice advance Functional Mobilization™ *  skills to treat the myofascial, articular, and neurovascular tissues, as well as PNF and CoreFirst strategies for the:

• Hip
• Knee
• Foot and ankle

Building on the IPA and FMT system of Complete Body Integration (CBI), the participant is trained in PNF lower  extremity patterns and the integration of the lower extremity function into full body dynamic stability and controlled movement using PNF trunk and total body patterns.

Objectives:

• Utilize the FMT clinical reasoning system to complete a comprehensive mechanical capacity, neuromuscular function, and motor control assessment of the lower extremities
• Apply specific FM progression strategies to enhance functional efficiency of the lower extremities
• Develop competence to assess and treat lower extremity structures, including hip, knee, foot and ankle
• Learn advanced assessment of neuro-dynamics and specific tracing and isolating for dynamic Functional Mobilization™ of neurovascular restrictions
• Restore efficient neuromuscular function and motor control at the local area of intervention, as well as Complete Body Integration (CBI) of the treated region utilizing lower extremity and total body PNF patterns
• Develop strategic evaluation and treatment skills to enhance regional interdependence of the lower extremities, and achieve integration within the system as a whole
• Develop home exercises to augment the FM treatment strategies
• Analyze and discuss clinical evidence and current literature related to the FMLE material
