Here’s a sample of some concepts we dig into.
Shoulder:
How to use the static and integrative assessments to guide your training program.
How breathing mechanics  drives mobility of the upper body and stability of the lower body, and how to use it to see fast improvements in both.
neck positioning, sternoclavicular joint, and elbow considerations with shoulder movements
Deeper assessment considerations, including medical elements that may require a referral for non-fitness modalities
Why “impingement†and “scapular winging” are garbage terms, how to assess for their true function and purpose, the difference between internal and external impingement, and what it means to your training program
How simplifying your upper extremity assessment to the “Big 3” – Release, Position, Mobilize – can and will cover your bases for most shoulder ailments.
Heavy pressing, explosive throwing, and programming considerations for different goal sets and populations
Why this matters to you:
Help your clients get through common shoulder issues more effectively.
Streamline your assessment and program design, helping you get faster results and more efficient use of your time, and that of your clients’
Help you see the details of shoulder motion you didn’t notice before, and whether something you’re using in your exercise program is working or not. Plus look at whether neck or clavicular issues may be impeding their strength and mobility.
Upgrade your exercise toolbox to address commonly overlooked movement issues
Smash programming like a Jedi
Hip:
The hips role in low back, SI joint, and knee issues commonly seen in the gym, and how to address them from a fitness perspective
Static versus active mobility, how and when to use each, and what produces the best benefits
Scaling compound lifts across populations and goals, and how to effectively program them for everyone
Jumps, sprints, change of direction, and other explosive training elements, and how they relate to the individuals goals and abilities.
Blending strength, mobility and recovery across age ranges, and how to avoid being a beat up meathead or chronic recoverer
spinal motion intolerances, and how to program around common issues.
What this means to you:
You can help clients see IMMEDIATE improvements, sometimes in as little as a minute or two, which will help them buy in to your abilities.
Help you target in on what will work best for the person in front of you, saving you both the time spent on useless exercises or drills.
Help clients get specific with what will help them get stronger, more mobile, and faster than ever before
Break down a system you can use today with yourself or your clients to see instant benefit while removing the guess work.
