Why was this course created?

Movement dysfunctions are one the primary causes of pain following exercise and repetitive dysfunctional movement will likely lead to injury. An injured client leads to a loss of income for the trainer whilst reducing injury risk provides greater service and value to the client. This course will allow you to confidently assess static and dynamic postures and uncover capacity restrictions which are leading to altered movement and tissue overload. You will then be able to plan suitable and personalised corrective exercise prehab / rehab programs for the client, improving muscle coordination, movement quality and exercise technique.

What will you learn?

This course will teach you how the kinetic chain is linked and works to create movement; alongside the important role of muscle couples, length tension relationships, neural inhibition stability and mobility components. This course will teach you how we move, how a weak link in the kinetic chain leads to global issues, the importance of proper arthrokinematics, force couples, length tension relationships and a healthy neuromuscular system. You will learn how to assess the function of the kinetic chain and find underpinning issues causing dysfunctions such as muscle imbalances or inhibited muscles using assessment techniques. Finally, you will be able to design a personalised corrective exercise program for the client to improve their movement quality and reduce injury risk.

Following this course, you will be able to:

  • Complete a postural analysis of a client

  • Complete a dynamic movement screen for the client

  • Be able to assess muscle imbalances

  • Know how to test range of motion and muscle strength in clients

  • Be able to write effective corrective exercise programs.
