GroundUp
Rethinking knee, ankle, and foot biomechanics.
A deep dive into the mechanics of the knee, ankle, and foot, built for practitioners who want to assess and train smarter.
Part 1 · Lecture & Theory
How the lower limb actually works
- Biomechanics of the knee, ankle, and foot
- Key muscles and joint actions driving inversion and eversion at the transverse arch and calcaneus
- How the tibia and femur organizes around the position of the pelvis and foot
- Foot supination and pronation, what actually drives it
- Open chain vs. closed chain muscle function
Part 2 · Assessment & Application
Exercises you can use right away
- How to assess lower limb mechanics in a clinical or coaching setting
- Identifying relative motion changes that lead to dysfunctional movement patterns and how that impacts lower body exercises
- Targeted exercises to improve lower limb mechanics that build real strength
- Building a simple, reproducible framework for your sessions

The lower limb doesn't work in isolation.
The webinar is a focused look at the foot, ankle, and knee. Empowered Performance is where this work gets integrated across the whole body, with the rib cage, pelvis, breath, and how an inside out approach starting at the thoracic and pelvic diaphragms is key. Webinar attendees get exclusive enrollment access.
Whole-body integration
How rib cage, pelvis position and our inherent asymmetry directly influence what's happening at the foot and knee.
Repositioning strategies
Practical frameworks for organizing the rib cage, pelvis, femurs, and humerus from the top down and bottom up.

Meet Katie St.Clair
With over 25 years of experience coaching individuals, groups, and athletes, I’ve developed a passion for helping people achieve their fitness goals without sacrificing joint health or postural balance.
As a former gymnast and lifelong athlete, I know firsthand the challenges of chronic pain and improper movement patterns. My education in Nutrition and Exercise Science, combined with advanced certifications in postural restoration and strength training, has equipped me to create programs that restore function while allowing you to pursue the movements you love.
I believe that movement should feel good and leave you stronger, more confident, and more connected to your body.
