M.A.C.T. Module 1: Functional Biomechanics & Movement Pattern Assessment - SEPT. 17th REGISTRATION NOW CLOSED
Upcoming Dates TBA

Get ahead with this practical system for assessing functional biomechanics.  Identify whether your clients have gained the pre-requisites for movement variability to occur, reveal their motor control deficits and uncover the joint restrictions that contribute to your clients injuries and impede performance.

 

  • Practice evaluating 7 fundamental multi-joint movement patterns and learn to break them down into their segmental joint components to identify which joints require mobility and improved motor control training.
  • Gain the tools required to identify the basis of your clients movement challenges and learn to formulate an adaptive exercise plan with measurable results.

Movement Pattern Assessments have become the forefront in designing effective training plans and provide invaluable measures in performance and injury management strategies.
