The ART® Lower Extremity Course consists of 96 protocols including peripheral nerve entrapments. Learn to treat everything from the toes to the hips. For lower back and hip problems it may be beneficial to take the ART® Spine Course.

Registration for this course includes a personalized 284 page bound study manual, 1 instructional DVD, and a Primal anatomy dvd for the lower extremity. Please allow 3-6 business days for shipment.

A strong understanding of human anatomy and physiology is vital when learning and practicing ART®. It is strongly recommended that providers take time prior to the courses to study their materials and watch the DVD(s) in order to be prepared for the course itself. Thursday, Friday, and Saturday will be educational days comprised of 80 percent hands-on work and 20 percent lecture. Instructors will present each protocol and then break into small groups to practice and answer questions. Testing will take place on Sunday mornings and once a provider passes the practical exam, they are considered a Certified ART® Provider.
