APRIL - MAY 2025 WEBINAR SCHEDULE
Sole Supports offers a rotation of three different lectures, streamed live online. Use our calendars below to find a date that works for your schedule, and register to reserve your seat.
POSTURE CONTROLS FUNCTION: BIOMECHANICAL EVALUATION AND MANAGEMENT OF FOOT AND ANKLE CONDITIONS
In the foot, more than anywhere else in the body, posture dictates function. In this webinar, attendees will learn foot biomechanics and how arch height turns the foot from a propulsive lever in supination to a loosened, adaptable structure in pronation. Learn how to use postural changes in the foot achieved through Sole Supports custom orthotics to reverse twenty-five of the most common orthopedic diagnoses of the lower extremity without surgery. MASS Posture Theory, taught by its inventor, is shifting common biomechanical conceptions about how the foot works with a physics-based approach that makes significant positive changes in the gait cycle to improve efficiency, endurance, and strength while reversing deformity and incidence of injury from excessive pronation.
Dr. Glaser teaches how MASS Posture Theory and Sole Supports MASS Posture orthotics can be applied to improve patient outcomes by correcting patient posture and gait cycle. Form follows function, not only in the direction of disease and deformity, but also in the direction of health and reversal of mechanically induced pathologies without surgery.
The Orthotic Break-in Protocol for Sole Supports MASS Posture Orthotics
In the foot, more than any other part of the body, posture controls function. Sole Supports MASS Posture Orthotics make a dramatic change in arch height and the biomechanics of a patient’s gait, which can be difficult to accept in the initial weeks of wearing. We refer to this as the “Break-in” period of daily orthotic wear. In this course, Dr. Glaser will teach the preferred Sole Supports break-in protocol using the manual release techniques from the RRR method.
Relax, Release, Relief (RRR) is a series of manual relaxation techniques that are designed to mechanically interrupt chronic pain feedback loops in the foot. You will learn the 15 points that relax the foot and gastroc-soleus, allowing the lower extremity to accept full postural correction. RRR of the foot should be used immediately before dispensing foot orthotics.
Manual Releases of Chronic Pain: Breaking Positive Feedback Loops
Relax, Release, Relief (RRR) is a series of manual relaxation techniques that relieve chronic pain throughout the body. When performed properly, pain relief occurs within minutes, trigger points under the skin disappear, and patients experience a restoration of range of motion where anatomically possible. In Dr. Glaser’s research and ongoing clinical trials, the application of RRR manual releases has resulted in remission for many patients who suffer from extreme lifelong chronic pain.
With these techniques, Dr. Glaser and his team have observed radical remission of chronic pain associated with fibromyalgia, plantar fasciitis, post-operative pain, athletic injuries, pain associated with orthotic and prosthetic break-in, complex regional pain syndrome, fractures, post-implant pain, pulled muscles, restless leg syndrome, torn connective tissue, frozen joints, and many more etiologies. RRR is affordable and accessible, requiring no additional equipment, drugs, or invasive procedures. Theories behind the efficacy of RRR mechanoreceptor releases are discussed. Several releases will be taught and demonstrated in the course. RRR does not relieve pain from gout, direct nerve compression, neuropathy and the pain of muscular development.
