EXERCISE PRINCIPLES LEVEL 1 (4-HOUR COURSE):

A clinical approach to exercise prescription that provides you with a structure on how to determine what level your patient is at and what exercise is appropriate for them. We will review a graded system which will help you determine when a patient is ready for exercise or if they would benefit from treatment/manual therapy prior to starting exercise. Also learn how to choose the appropriate level of exercise and learn stages to either scale the exercise up or down based on your patient's presentation. These principles are easily applied to any part of the body and will help take the 'guesswork' out of exercise selection and avoid the common error of giving patients exercises that are too high a level even though you may think it's easy.

Hip Assessment and Treatment Level 1 (4-hour course)

Designed to provide a systematic approach to screening/assessing/treating the hip joint. We will look at movement patterns and how hip motions will impact the joints above and below and also how the hip will impact functional movements such as the squat and lunge. We will also review how to apply Exercise Principles Level 1 to the hip.

Shoulder Principles Level 1 (4-hour course)

Designed to provide a systematic approach to screening/assessing/treating the shoulder joint. We will look at key movement patterns of the shoulder along with the regional interdependence with the neck and thoracic spine. We will also review how to apply Exercise Principles Level 1 to the shoulder along with treatment and exercise techniques from both a restriction and activation perspective.
