Brief Biography of
Speaker
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. This is not a common
pathway for a medical student, but it turned out to
be just the right exposure for a future student of
the foot. He was in private practice for 13
years before dedicating all of his energies to the
development of his theories, which have 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.
Brief Description of
Presentation
“Foot Posture Biomechanics – MASS Theory” is unique:
it looks at managing foot biomechanics from an
engineering perspective. Dr. Glaser offers the
first credible challenge to the standard, industry
techniques originated by Root, Orien and Weed in
1977. MASS Position Theory emphasizes the
importance of actually changing the functional
posture of the foot, enabling the healthy levels of
supination required for non-pathological gait.
This course is refreshing, entertaining and has the
most impressive 3-D animations of foot and lower
extremity in the field. MASS Position
