Ed Glaser, D.P.M. Biography
Edward Glaser, DPM, studied mechanical engineering at SUNY at Stonybrook, and went on to receive his doctorate in podiatric medicine at the New York College of Podiatric Medicine. He was in private practice for 13 years before dedicating all of his energies to the development of his biomechanics theories. His book, The Bottom Block, has strengthened the foundation of the field of biomechanics. He has earned a substantial national and international reputation for re-visioning and re-engineering the way practitioners can significantly correct poor biomechanics in the foot and lower extremity. His new analysis and practical common-sense approach to the casting and design of custom foot orthotics have helped many care providers achieve a new level of clinical success. He offers the first credible challenge to the standard industry techniques originated by Root, Orien and Weed in 1977. This course is immediately pertinent to all who are involved or interested in biomechanical management the foot and lower kinetic chain. The course presentation is a very energetic and refreshing approach to biomechanics.
Dr. Glaser has lectured to over 300 organizations world-wide.
