Biomechanics & The Kinetic Chain
Revisit biomechanics through a practical clinical lens and develop a deeper understanding of mechanical instability, three-plane motion, and the relationship between the foot and the rest of the kinetic chain.
Stride Logic Biomechanics Course
Two Days That Could Change the Way You Practice Biomechanics.
You already prescribe custom orthotics. Now learn how to approach them with greater understanding, intention, and confidence.
The Stride Logic Biomechanics Course is an immersive, two-day, in-person training that takes you beyond simply ordering an orthotic from a lab into evaluating mechanical instability, prescribing with intention, and communicating value to patients.
You'll leave with more than information. You'll leave with a system you can begin implementing when you return to your practice.

Application
// This Isn't a Weekend of Sitting in a Lecture Hall
Learn It. See It. Practice It.
Biomechanics makes a lot more sense when you can see it and work through it yourself. That's why Stride Logic is designed as a hands-on, in-person experience theory first, then real technique, real impressions, real prescriptions, and real clinical situations.
"That was interesting."
"I know what to do differently on Monday."
// What You'll Learn
Build the Clinical Skills Behind a Better Orthotics Program.
// 01
// 02
Patient Evaluation
Learn to look beyond the chief complaint and identify mechanical factors that may be contributing to the patient's condition.
// 03
The Stride Logic Approach
Learn the principles behind Stride Logic Biomechanics & Orthotics, including the anatomical approach to supporting the foot and creating greater stability across three planes.
// 04
Impression Techniques
This is hands-on. Learn and practice the impression technique used within the Stride Logic system.
Especially Practical
// 05
Orthotic Prescription & Design
Move beyond simply checking boxes on a lab form. Learn how to think through what you want the orthotic to accomplish.
// 06
Fitting, Follow-Up & Adjustments
Learn how to evaluate the orthotic after delivery, recognize when something needs to change, and continue following the patient over time.
// 07
Patient Communication
Learn how to explain biomechanics, communicate the value of custom orthotics, discuss cost confidently, and answer common questions.
// 08
Team Implementation
Learn how staff can support patient education, impression process, workflow, follow-up and the overall patient experience.
// 09
Cash-Pay Implementation
Learn how to structure a premium orthotics service outside the limitations of traditional insurance reimbursement.
Especially Practical
// What Happens During the Two Days?
From Understanding the Why to Building the System.
UNDERSTAND

IMPLEMENT
01
Clinical Foundation
Understand the Why
- Biomechanical theory and anatomy
- Mechanical instability & three-plane foot mechanics
- The kinetic chain
- Patient evaluation & identifying appropriate patients
- Stride Logic orthotic principles
- Impression technique hands-on practice
- Clinical discussion and cases
By the end of Day One, you should understand not just what to do, but why you're doing it.
02
Practice Application
Turn Knowledge Into a System
- Orthotic prescription and design
- Reviewing impressions
- Fitting, dispensing and troubleshooting
- Adjustments and follow-up protocols
- Patient communication discussing value and price
- Team implementation
- Cash-pay pricing and workflow
- Real-world case discussion
You'll leave knowing what comes next. Not just clinically, but operationally.
// Leave With More Than Notes
Take the System Back to Your Practice.
The real value of training is what happens after you leave. Your training includes:
- Stride Logic Training Manual The complete clinical reference from the course, organized for use in practice.
- Clinical Protocols Step-by-step protocols for evaluation, impression, prescription, and follow-up.
- Orthotic Prescription Guidance A practical prescription reference to help you make more intentional decisions.
- Patient Communication Scripts Proven language for explaining biomechanics and communicating orthotic value.
- Implementation Tools Workflow guides and tools for building a premium orthotics program.
// You'll Do More Than Watch
Hands-On Training Matters.
Creating a better orthotic is only one part of the process. The KCS Method also teaches the operational side of a program that patients value and a practice can sustain.

// What Changes When You Get Back?
Monday Morning Should Feel Different.
Before
- Ordering orthotics from the lab
- Focusing mainly on the chief complaint
- Patients may not understand the value
- Insurance reimbursement influences the service
- Orthotics are an occasional service
After
- Ordering orthotics from the lab
- Focusing mainly on the chief complaint
- Patients may not understand the value
- Insurance reimbursement influences the service
- Orthotics are an occasional service
// Who Is This Training For?
You Don't Have to Be New to Orthotics.
Experienced doctors benefit significantly from this program. This training is built for those who want to:
Already prescribe a lot of orthotics? Good
The question isn't whether you know how to prescribe an orthotic.
It's whether you're getting everything you could clinically and financially from the service.
- Deepen practical understanding of biomechanics
- Become more confident in orthotic prescriptions
- Produce more consistent clinical results
- Better understand what you're asking your lab to create
- Expand the patients considered for biomechanical care
- Improve patient communication
- Reduce dependence on insurance reimbursement
- Build a more intentional, profitable orthotics program
// Training Is the Beginning. Not the Finish Line.
Keep Learning as You Begin Treating Patients.
Two days provide the foundation but real questions arise after doctors return to their practices.

What would you do with this patient?
Why isn't this orthotic working the way I expected?
How should I explain this to the patient?
What adjustment should I make?
Is my team presenting this correctly?
Are my numbers where they should be?
// Ready When You Are
Ready to Take a Different Approach to Orthotics?
You already have the patients. You already have the clinical foundation. And you're probably already prescribing custom orthotics. Now learn how to bring those pieces together into a better clinical product, a better patient experience, and a stronger program for your practice.
