Foot Mobilisation Techniques (FMT):

History:

Foot Mobilisation has its roots in manipulative therapy, which is a long established technique widely used by the physiotherapy, chiropractic and osteopathic professions. The first foot and ankle manipulative techniques were developed in the 1920s by American Dr John Martin Hiss, a student of manipulative therapy. Dr Hiss went on to open clinics across America, where osteopaths, podiatrists, chiropractors and medical doctors worked side by side to treat foot problems.

Ted Jedynak, podiatrist, studied and trained with one of Dr Hiss’ students, Dr Harvey Lampell, in 1994.

Since then, Mr Jedynak has specialised exclusively in Foot Mobilisation Techniques (FMT). He has developed and refined the assessment and treatment techniques for successful foot mobilisation and regularly presents at conferences and workshops to teach colleagues the science and art of Foot Mobilisation.

The Foot & Leg Centre opened in 2002 as a purpose-built facility to provide specialist Foot Mobilisation treatment. The second Foot & Leg Centre opened in 2006 to meet the demand for Foot Mobilisation, with plans for a third centre in 2008.

The Foot & Leg Centre is the only podiatry-based practice in South Australia to have won the prestigious Telstra Small Business Award.
