Functional Exercise: Building A Strong Foundation
|
Course Description & Information:
- This course is designed to provide the participant with a more in-depth
discussion of functional relationships in order to vary and advance exercise
progression beyond basic therapeutic exercise. The course will define and
discuss various components of function as it applies to rehabilitation, take a
fresh look a movement, present the four pillars of human movement,
discuss training in the context and the role of gravity ground reaction forces
and momentum for true functional movement and exercise. This course
will review and discuss the functional biomechanics and anatomy of the
lower extremity plane by plane and joint by joint to provide the participant
with a greater understanding of not just treating symptoms but finding
causes and developing exercise in a functional multi-planar approach.
Whether you work with young, older or athletic patients the information in
this course will greatly enhance and expand your understanding of function
and exercise progression and bring new and exciting ideas to your care. Intermediate level.
