This is a practical and fun way to learn the anatomy of the core and how it relates to breathing, posture, and chronic issues.
This course was created for the health and fitness professional working with clients of all ages and fitness levels who is searching for a practical resource for learning and applying anatomy.
This Series has been pre-recorded.
PURCHASEThe Core: Trunk & Spine Anatomy
This webinar series provides a detailed anatomical review of the muscles and bony landmarks of the trunk and spine. Using creative visuals, the functional anatomy, biomechanics and motor control of these muscles are explained to develop a better assessment and exercise strategy. Health and fitness professionals working with client populations from athletes to the active aging adult will gain foundational concepts that can be immediately applied within their practice.
In this course, users will receive assessment techniques and exercise strategies and progressions related to the trunk and spine. S/he will discover practical information that can be immediately applied within their practice to client’s chronic posture, movement, and joint-related issues.
The core muscle complex can have significant effects on how clients feel when they sit, stand, bend, walk, run, and all activities of daily living. Knowing and applying the assessments and techniques provided in this series will be the difference in how clients feel and move their body.
Upon completion of this course, you will be able to:
- Identify the origin, insertion, and action of the primary muscles of the trunk and spine.
- Demonstrate corrective exercise strategies, and then integrate these into the functional movement and exercise patterns of your clients to address chronic issues.
- Gain an introduction to the Integrative Movement SystemTM by discovering how to assess the bone and muscle complexes of the core, demonstrate corrective exercise strategies for your clients, and then integrate these into their functional movement & exercise patterns.
- Improve posture and movement using simple, yet effective corrective exercises
- Apply safe strengthening strategies to help your clients successfully accomplish their health and fitness goals.
