Fascial Manipulation®Stecco Method - Podiatry.

Course Structure.

Our Podiatry oriented Fascial Manipulation® Stecco courses, offer a distinctive and progressive learning pathway through the many aspects of fascia. They are stimulating, enjoyable, practical, can enrich your clinical reasoning and practice to the benefit of your patients. 

Currently, we host 2 course levels each divided into two main parts. For example, an Online theory (1a)  and an onsite 2 day practical (1b).  Attendance at the practical is required for the course to be completed.

Online theory is formed of Study Rooms through which you progress. Each room contains a series of lectures with MCQ of 20 questions per room. The questions are based on material from the lectures of that room. You are allowed 3 attempts at a rooms MCQ’s. One of the rooms contains excellent, high quality videos on locating the fascia points and their treatment, including the health  and safe practice for both the patient and practitioner. 

A printed copy of the practical manual is provided, which also contains an access code to a downloadable app  of the fascia treatment points, relevant  to the level you are studying. This is included in the course fee.

Online lectures and practical videos are included in the course fee, for 12 months from the date of registration. Post successful completion these materials are accessible for a further 3 months.

After this period, successful post level 1 course attendees will be able to purchase access to the lectures and videos  from the Stecco Learning Platform, via a one year subscription. 

The Onsite practical extends over 2 days and we work from the  pelvis to feet. Primarily practical, it does have pertinent lectures but no MCQ.  Session attire is usually sports shorts or sportswear leggings. Please note, jogging bottoms, denim or thick material shorts are not advised. Equally, trousers or skirts are not suitable for the practical sessions. 

Essentials.

• Attendees must be podiatrists. 
• HCPC registration is required for UK based podiatrists.
• UK podiatrists must have either a BSc in Podiatry or diploma and 12 months* post qualification experience/education. (*There is discretion in this. That is, an attendee who works in a context where a podiatrist, experienced in FM, can monitor/mentor  them. Please contact Info@infigoeducation.co.uk to discuss it). 
• None RCOP attendees are welcome but will not be covered by RCOP insurance for the skills taught in the course. You need to ensure your professional body insurance will provide cover if attending. 
• Non-UK podiatrists must be registered with their professional body, have either a diploma or degree and 12 months post qualification experience/education. Additionally, you will not be covered by the RCOP insurance.
• Learning styles and ways are distinct to each of us. The learning hours mentioned below are simply there to emphasise the level of attention required for the course theory. Some might need less and others more. On the practical, there is strong expectation you will have given time to becoming familiar with, and practicing of, the practical positioning of patients, yourself and technique.

*Scope of Practice: This course is adapted from the whole body approach, covers from the pelvis to feet  and intended as an extended scope practice for Podiatrists. 

Level 1a Online theory: Muscular Fascia. 

The first two Study Rooms contain a total of 9.3 hours of excellent lectures. Much of the highly detailed material will likely be new to our thinking and so a minimum of 25 hours study is advised.  The third Study Room predominantly consists of 3.5 hours practical video instruction.  As a guide, allow 16 hours of practice to become familiar with practicing these.
