Barefoot Training Specialist® Level 1 Certification

As the foundation to all EBFA education the BTS Level 1 Certification sets the foundation for advanced concepts in barefoot activation, reflexive stabilization and movement efficiency. With the foot as the only contact point between the body and the ground, this complex structure plays a critical role in the way in which our body stabilizes during dynamic movement. In ths Level 1 Certification get ready to explore how to prep the body for movement by tapping into the nervous system with barefoot science, foot to core sequencing and reflexive stability via fascial lines.

Feet, Fascia and Functional Movement

The dynamic control of functional movement is deeply integrated on the body's perception of the outside world.

Join Dr Emily Splichal for this 3 part online series as we explore the latest research on how our feet, fascia and functional movement are even more integrated than we currently realize.

From fascial tensioning to fascial elasticity our fascia plays a role in how we perceive, store and transfer forces during dynamic movement. This webinar series will prepare you how to train your clients for more efficient and precise movement.

Part 1: Fascial Tensioning & the Future of Proprioceptive Training
Part 2: Fascial Elasticity and the Future of Energy Transfer
Part 3: Foot Function and Fascial Lines
