PURCHASEElbow, Wrist & Hand Anatomy
This webinar series provides a detailed anatomical review of the muscles and bony landmarks associated with the elbow, wrist and hand
Using creative visuals, the functional anatomy, biomechanics and motor control of the muscles of the elbows, wrist and hand are explained. This unique approach also provides real-world strategies for addressing the most common causes of chronic tightness, discomfort, and compensated movement patterns associated with the suboptimal function of the elbow, wrist and hand complex.
Upon completion of this 3-part interactive, webinar series, you will be able to:
- Confidently identify the origin, insertion, and action of the primary muscles of the elbow, wrist and hand and how these muscles impact posture and movement.
- Discover how the Integrative Movement SystemTM can be utilized to create both short and long-term improvements in shoulder posture and range of motion using simple, yet effective corrective exercises
- Apply safe stretching and strengthening strategies to help your clients successfully accomplish their health and fitness goals.
Whether you are working virtually or in person, this series will deliver both practical information as well as corrective exercise strategies, so you feel confident in:
- understanding the major muscles that flex, extend and rotate the elbow, flex and extend the wrist and open and close the hand;
- addressing whether or not you should stretch or strengthen the muscles of the elbow, wrist and hand so you’re using a guided thought process rather than a guessing approach;
- designing a safe and effective stabilization and strengthening approach so you can confidently improve your client’s elbow, wrist and hand function and help them get back to the activities they enjoy.
