Biopods

• Effects of immobilization as it relates to bone, soft tissue, and joint pathology
• Current healthcare philosophies about dynamic function vs. support and immobility
• Neuromuscular gait mechanics and related treatment methodologies
• Scientific principles on which the development of the disruptive technology of Biopods^® was based
• How Biopods Variable Reflex Technology (VRT^™)  works
• How Biopods can improve patient outcomes

Dig deep into scientific principles that will impact your practice

The Critical Connection is a four-part online course that will put you at the cutting edge with Biopods^®, the new paradigm for the treatment of foot-related pathologies. The course provides in-depth coverage of the scientific principles which underly Biopods therapeutic solutions and presents an innovative approach to diagnosis and multifaceted therapy, including:

• the underlying science
• optimal and maladaptive neuromuscular gait mechanics
• conventional treatment methods
• the new Biopods gait-related paradigm
• clinical concepts and modalities

Three leaders in chiropractic and sports medicine deliver engaging, informative video and slide presentations. They dispel common foot care myths and discuss the concepts of the foot-brain-connection, proprioception and protective reflexes, innate body intelligence, and neuroplasticity.

They identify the mechanics of optimal neuromuscular gait and why it is primarily observed in barefoot and not shoe-wearing populations. They cover the connection between conventional footwear and the foot, leg, hip, and back conditions that you see in your practice. And how Biopods innovative technology provides a therapeutic solution for those conditions.

You can’t afford to miss this course. It will provide you with the information and guidance you need to become a Biopods-trained practitioner. A role that will help you improve the overall neuromuscular health of your patients and enable you to generate incremental revenue.

Benefit from insights provided by leaders in sports medicine and chiropractic

Dr. Samuel Dubé, a sports-focused MD, human potential and performance consultant, and educator, sets the stage with comprehensive coverage of the science underlying Biopods Products.  And he explores the connection between optimal and maladaptive neuromusculoskeletal function. In Lesson 2, Dr. Dubé delves deeper into the mechanics of barefoot gait:

• the role that the Cuboid Pulley and Windlass Mechanisms play in creating a dynamic arch system, and 
• other concepts that contribute to barefoot gait as the optimum natural condition.

In Lesson 3, Dr. Scott Bautch and Dr. Tim Wakefield, leaders in the field of chiropractic and sports medicine, discuss the effects of immobilization on the neuromuscular system, and the similar effects caused by conventional footwear. Dr. Dubé takes up the coverage with an introduction to foot dysfunction indicators and foot types and concludes the course in Lesson 4 with an in-depth overview of Biopods clinical protocols.  This detailed presentation provides healthcare professionals, sports trainers, and coaches with the information needed to integrate Biopods Products into their practices and training regimes.

Learn about Biopods unique, modern, therapeutic approach to lower limb pathologies

Palliative, long-term support, and cushioning of the body are outdated concepts that are no longer recommended by healthcare professionals because they cause functional atrophy. Surprisingly, today’s footwear, insole, and orthotic products are influenced by support and cushioning design theories first introduced over 100 years ago. Until Biopods, products based on these outdated theories have been the only means available to address foot-related problems.

 BioPods Products are different because they provide the stimulus to the soles of the feet required for healthy neuromuscular function throughout the lower limb kinetic chain. Biopods Productss work like a therapeutic exercise program to train optimal neuromuscular function. Biopods incorporate the modern “Proper Technique” rehabilitative and sports training principles used by elite athletes and sports medicine professionals. Biopods Products provide the subtle variable stimulus to the soles of the feet that the brain requires for healthy lower limb protective reflex function. With regular use, Biopods helps to safely and naturally retrain the feet, legs, hips, and back to healthy function.

There is a Biopods Product for every walk of life. Biopods-trained chiropractic practitioners will be able to prescribe the right model for each patient by selecting the stimulus intensity level based on foot type, activity, and footwear. The course will present an in-depth introduction to Biopods Products and the benefits they offer your patients, athletes, and your practice.
