Therapeutic Movement Seminars Online Courses

While a picture is worth a thousand words, a video is worth a thousand pictures. This 5.5-hour multi-media program is a combination of written text and high-quality demonstrative video. It addresses our role as movement teachers in a rehabilitation setting and how patient outcomes improve using a therapeutic movement model. This comprehensive yet simple guided tour of human movement will inspire you! Topics covered include:

• The role of rehab professionals in movement optimization—taking on the role of movement teachers, not just body mechanics.
• Bodies are integrated & move in cooperative patterns—a new ‘regional interdependence’ understanding of movement is emerging.
• The language of movement—identify & name patterns at fault, then develop exercise that trains individual-specific corrective patterns.
• The 4 principles of optimal movement—our guidelines when it comes to identifying the sub-optimal movement or postural patterns that contribute to musculoskeletal distress & inefficiencies.
• Static & Dynamic Integration—this program articulates the drawbacks of our current static view & advocates for a more dynamic understanding.
• Utilize optimal movement & dynamic integration principles with various musculoskeletal complaints—examples from the 4-major body sub-regions are described and shown.
• Benefits & Modifications—dynamic integration exercise that fits our rehab populations.
• The Specificity & Transfer Principles—tricks of the trade that make our exercise 'stick'.

By combining approximately 3 hours of written text with 2.5 hours of video recorded movement labs, we’ve created a fun & interactive home study program.
