Most trainers have noticed limited range of motion (ROM) and/or compensation problems in many of their clients’ movement patterns. Limitations in ROM are indicators of muscular weakness. These weaknesses lead to compensation and ultimately to injury and pain. Learn this exceptional assessment/correction system that accurately identifies and corrects muscular imbalances from start to finish! Learn a step-by-step approach to assess and correct each of your client’s individual muscular imbalances. Find out how to follow-up with a specific exercise routine that “jump starts” the weak muscles and eliminates imbalances that exist. Note: This class will emphasize the identification and correction of muscular imbalances in the lower body.

This dynamic, interactive business workshop has been specifically designed for women. It covers the A-Z of starting and running your own business in an easy, structured format and prepares you for what to expect from a practical, psychological and emotional standpoint. Some of the topics covered include preparing a business plan, managing your time, marketing, customer service and work/life balance.

Explore the functional anatomy of the foot, leg and hip, and explore useful assessment techniques you can use to determine the action of the foot and its chain reaction upon the leg and hip. Examine the expected biomechanical reactions of movement and common compensations exposed by implementing these useful assessment tools. Create program design strategies to address the issues and goals of each client. Upon completion of this workshop, you will view movement from an entirely different perspective and develop a new thought process for program design and exercise prescription.

Accurate assessments are the key to designing effective exercise programs and group fitness classes. However, the overwhelming amount of information available about assessment can make the process confusing, and often key components get overlooked. This session will teach you the basics of performing a musculoskeletal assessment and provide you with a step-by-step format to use with every client.

A thorough and accurate structural assessment ensures that the exercise programs you recommend help alleviate pain and improve client function. If imbalances are overlooked, exercise programs may do more harm than good. IMPORTANT: An advanced understanding of musculoskeletal assessment is required for this session. Structural Assessments 101 (session #496) is highly recommended as a prerequisite to this inTensive.

Discover the functional anatomy of the lumbar and thoracic spine and explore useful assessment techniques that can be used to determine the action of the back and its impact upon nearly every movement of the body. Explore the expected biomechanical reactions of movement and common compensations exposed by proper implementation of these assessment tools. Based upon these findings, you’ll learn to create thoughtful strategies that successfully address the issues and goals of each client. Upon completion of this workshop, you will view movement from an entirely different perspective and develop a new planning process for program design and exercise prescription.
