Corrective Exercise Program Design #5

Description

Corrective Exercise Program Design will teach you how to develop and implement effective corrective exercise programs from a client’s very first session all the way through goal attainment. Using comprehensive case studies to demonstrate The BioMechanics Method of corrective exercise program design, the course will teach you proper coaching and cueing, as well as communication skills and session designs that help you connect with clients to create a positive and empowering experience. You will possess the knowledge and skills necessary to implement a custom corrective exercise program in the real world so you can help people overcome muscle pain, joint discomfort and movement limitations.

Research shows that almost 90 percent of people who currently utilize the services of health, fitness and exercise professionals services report having temporary or chronic musculoskeletal issues that prevent them from performing even low-level physical activities without experiencing pain (Schroeder and Donlin 2013). Studies also show that one of the fastest growing segments of the population joining gyms is the over-55 demographic, yet only about 50 percent of fitness and exercise professionals report having the appropriate skills to serve people with muscle or joint pain and other physically limiting musculoskeletal conditions (IHRSA 2017; Schroeder and Donlin 2013).

The BioMechanics Method Corrective Exercise Specialist Course helps fill this gap in care by educating students in musculoskeletal assessment, functional anatomy, corrective exercise selection and program design to increase their knowledge in this area of competence and improve their performance in applying these skills when working with clients in need.
