Who is this Course for?

This course is designed for:
  • Osteopaths and chiropractors treating foot and ankle conditions
  • Physiotherapists and sports therapists managing lower limb injuries
  • Massage and soft tissue therapists expanding into rehabilitation
  • Clinicians who find foot and ankle presentations complex or inconsistent
This masterclass is suitable for qualified clinicians working within their professional scope of practice.

Why this Matters

Foot and ankle dysfunction is a common driver of pain, altered biomechanics and injury elsewhere in the body.

Many clinicians:
  • Struggle to link foot and ankle assessment to effective treatment
  • Feel unsure how to progress rehabilitation beyond early stages
  • Treat symptoms without addressing underlying mechanical contributors
Without a clear framework, outcomes can be slow or inconsistent.
This masterclass provides a simple, structured system for understanding, treating and rehabilitating foot and ankle conditions with confidence.

How this Course Helps

This course brings together theory, manual therapy, needling and rehabilitation into one integrated clinical pathway.

You’ll learn how to:
  • Understand foot and ankle biomechanics and pathology
  • Apply soft tissue, MET, mobilisation and manipulation techniques
  • Use dry needling and taping appropriately within your scope
  • Design and progress rehabilitation programmes effectively
  • Manage both acute and long-term foot and ankle conditions
All content is supported by extensive HD video demonstrations and detailed written resources you can revisit as needed.

Learning Outcomes

By the end of this masterclass, you will be able to:
  • Assess foot and ankle conditions with greater clarity and confidence
  • Understand the biomechanical role of the foot and ankle in movement
  • Apply manual therapy techniques safely and effectively
  • Integrate dry needling, strapping and taping where appropriate
  • Design progressive rehabilitation programmes for foot and ankle injury
  • Manage common sports and overuse foot and ankle presentations

Frequently Asked Questions

What prior experience do I need?

Most OMT courses are designed for qualified manual therapists and healthcare professionals, including osteopaths, chiropractors, physiotherapists, sports therapists, and massage therapists.

Some courses are advanced and require specific prior qualifications, such as dry needling, acupuncture, or HVLA manipulation training. Any prerequisites will be clearly listed on the individual course page.

If you are unsure whether a course is suitable for your qualifications or experience, please review the course information or contact the OMT team before enrolling.

Can I claim CPD hours/points?

Yes. OMT courses are designed to support Continuing Professional Development (CPD) and include a specified number of CPD hours upon completion.

Our courses are widely recognised across manual therapy and allied healthcare professions, including osteopathy, chiropractic, physiotherapy, sports therapy, and massage therapy.

As CPD requirements can vary between professions and countries, we recommend checking with your own professional or regulatory body if you require confirmation of acceptance.

What's included in the course fee?

Your course fee includes:

  • Full access to all online course content for 12 months (unless stated otherwise)
  • High-definition video tutorials and clinical demonstrations
  • Structured learning modules designed to support step-by-step learning
  • Supporting theory, practical guidance, and downloadable resources (where applicable)
  • CPD certificate upon successful completion of the course


You can study at your own pace and revisit the materials at any time during your access period.

How long do I have access to the course?

All OMT courses include 12 months (unless stated otherwise) of online access, giving you the flexibility to study at a pace that suits your schedule and learning style.

Throughout your access period, you can revisit video tutorials, theory modules, clinical demonstrations, and supporting resources as often as you need to reinforce key concepts and refine your practical skills.

You can learn anytime, from anywhere, on your preferred device, whether you complete your training in a few days or spread it over several months.

Will I receive a certificate?

Yes. Upon successful completion of an OMT course, you will receive a digital certificate recognising your achievement and confirming your participation in the programme.

Many of our courses also award a fully certificated diploma, while selected programmes include an educational transcript detailing the course content, learning outcomes, and CPD hours completed.

These certificates and diplomas can be used as evidence of Continuing Professional Development (CPD) and ongoing postgraduate education. They provide a valuable record of your training and may support professional portfolios, appraisals, insurance requirements, or membership renewal with relevant professional bodies, where applicable.

The type of certification awarded is clearly stated on each individual course page.

How does insurance work?

Students may already be covered through their existing professional indemnity and public liability insurance, particularly where they are qualified healthcare or allied health professionals completing the course as postgraduate CPD within their existing scope of practice.

Where additional cover is required, insurance may be available through independent insurance providers, subject to the student’s qualifications, professional scope, country of practice, declarations, policy terms and exclusions.

Students are responsible for checking with their current insurer, employer, professional body or another suitable insurance provider before using any new skill in practice. OMT Training is not an insurance provider or broker and cannot guarantee insurance cover for every student.


What's your refund policy?

At OMT, we are committed to maintaining a fair, transparent, and professional approach to all course bookings and enrolments.

As many of our programmes provide immediate access to digital learning materials and video content, refunds may be limited once course access has been granted. This reflects the nature of digital educational products and online learning.
We strongly encourage all learners to review the course description, learning outcomes, entry requirements, and course format carefully before enrolling to ensure the programme is suitable for their needs and professional background.
Full details of our refund, cancellation, and transfer policies are outlined in the OMT Terms and Conditions, which should be reviewed prior to purchase. If you have any questions about a course, eligibility requirements, or whether a programme is appropriate for your level of experience, our team will be happy to assist before you enrol.

Our goal is to ensure that every learner can make an informed decision and enjoy a positive learning experience from the outset.

How are courses assessed?

Assessment requirements vary between courses and are designed to ensure learners have achieved the intended learning outcomes and can demonstrate an appropriate level of knowledge and practical competence.

Depending on the programme, assessment methods may include:

• Multiple-choice examinations (MCQs)
• Knowledge-based quizzes and theory assessments
• Case-based learning activities
• Reflective practice exercises
• Practical competency assessments
• Clinical skills evaluations
• Submission of video-recorded practical demonstrations for assessment and feedback

For courses that require practical competency assessment, learners may be asked to submit video evidence demonstrating specific techniques, clinical reasoning, patient positioning, safety procedures, communication skills, and treatment application. These submissions allow assessors to evaluate practical proficiency and confirm that the required standards have been achieved.

Some courses are completed through online knowledge assessments alone, while others require successful completion of both theoretical and practical components before certification is awarded. The assessment format, pass requirements, and certification criteria are clearly outlined within the individual course information and learning materials.

All assessments are designed to encourage reflective learning and to help ensure that learners can apply their knowledge and skills safely and effectively within their scope of practice.
