The process of assessing and correcting imbalances can sometimes seem like a daunting task. There is currently so much information on the topic that it is hard to know where to begin. This 7-hour, hands-on preconference course will provide trainers with a structured approach to conducting static and dynamic assessments as well as corrective exercise design that will improve client function and quality of movement.

You will learn:
  • The right questions to ask when a client is in pain
  • How to perform a visual and hands-on assessment of the entire body
  • How to design and implement a successful corrective exercise program


Earn up to 7 CEC hours. Lunch on your own.
Limited to 75 participants.
