Learning outcomes
You’ll unlock the power that comes from understanding correct muscle biomechanics. This is done with precise assessments that highlight the client’s postural issues and movement imbalances as well their strengths. These are then graphically tracked overtime at each regular reassessment.
In this Biomechanics Coach Level 1 course, you’ll develop foundational skills that include: postural observations, assessing joint stability, joint mobility, strength and endurance.
These essential techniques set the stage for Level 2, where you’ll dive into advanced biomechanics and corrective strategies.
