A stable ankle creates a stable body
In this webinar, we take a closer look at the ankle — a vital yet often overlooked gateway between the feet and the rest of the body.
Rather than focusing on ankle pathologies, we explore how to optimize the flow of information between the ankle and the brain, enhancing balance, posture, and overall body stability.
For reflexologists, understanding the ankle is essential. As the connection between the feet and the body, it plays a key role in every treatment.
Addressing the ankle should be the first step in all treatments involving musculoskeletal symptoms.
We will dive deep into the ankle’s anatomy and function, offering you a fresh perspective on a well-known area — one that will change the way you work with your clients.
You’ll discover how the ankle’s retinacula are rich in sensory receptors that continuously inform the brain about foot position and movement.
As one study states:
“An ankle sprain is not simply a local joint injury; it can result in a constrained sensorimotor system that leads to a continuum of disability and life-long consequences such as high injury recurrence and decreased quality of life if not managed properly.”

You will learn practical techniques including:
- Balance test – a “brain wake-up” for coordination and proprioception
- Treatment of the ankle’s tendons and muscles
- Fascia tuning from the feet upward
- Postural adjustments to stabilize the ankle
- Mobilization of the talocrural joint
- Reflexology for the ankle joint and nerves
Join us to deepen your understanding of the ankle as a dynamic gateway — one that influences stability, communication, and the body’s ability to move with confidence.

Peter and Dorthe are internationally respected leaders in reflexology; both as practitioners and teachers. I encourage reflexologists everywhere to expand their theoretical horizons and integrate the hands-on techniques from this workshop in their daily practice. You and your clients will be happy with the results!

Peter and Dorthe presented the most organized and professional training class I have ever attended in my adult life. As a 46-year-old veteran I have been through many classes from military training, to underwater welding, to different types of healing modalities. I was very impressed with the work Peter and Dorthe are doing. Thank you for the wealth of information I will be putting to valuable use. Cheers.

Dorthe and Peter took a complicated subject like anatomy and made it very easy to understand as well as remember. They're phenonemal instructors that take necessary time with you as an individual to show you exactly where and how to work on your clients. This is easily one of the best reflexology classes I have taken.
