MER Grounding Training: Feet, Legs & Hips

The MER Grounding Training focuses on relieving sciatica, knee pain, plantar fasciitis, ankle injuries, hip pain, and IT band syndrome through fascia-based bodywork. Using deep touch, joint mobilization, and movement, this module restores stability, mobility, and grounding through the feet, legs, and hips.

Comprehensive Training Overview

In this module, you will learn advanced techniques to treat the lower body, focusing on:

• Feet 
• Legs 
• Knees 
• Hips 

This training combines deep bodywork, joint mobilization, and Myofascial Release to:

• Restore natural movement 
• Improve stability 
• Reduce chronic pain and dysfunction

Pain Syndromes & Conditions Addressed

This module directly works with common lower-body conditions such as:

• Sciatica (nerve compression and fascial tension) 
• Knee pain (instability, wear, and misalignment) 
• Plantar fasciitis (foot pain and fascia restriction) 
• Ankle sprains and instability 
• Hip pain (mobility restrictions and imbalance) 
• IT Band Syndrome (outer leg tension and tracking issues) 

→ You will learn how to address the root causes of pain, not just the symptoms.

Techniques and Tools

Deep Bodywork & Joint Mobilization
Work with the posterior line of the body to release tension and restore flow from the feet through the legs into the hips.

Pain & Mobility Assessment
Develop your ability to assess dysfunction through:

• Palpation
