Rejuvenate the Kinetic Chain - Efficient Examination & Treatment Strategies for Athletes, Runners & all Bipedal Locomotion

Presented by Rehab Connections   Reviews

Description

The ability to walk and run while balancing the forces of gravity, body-weight and ground-reaction forces requires adequate amounts of mobility and complementary stability and neuromuscular control.

When your clients come to you for help in either getting over their most recent "tweak" or wanting to take their performance to the next level, would you like to know the most efficient strategies to exam and screen your client while implementing corrective exercises and drills with the biggest impact in the shortest amount of time?

Would you like to know more about tailoring running programs leading to successful events vs. recurring injuries?

How much do you know about barefoot walking and running; minimalist shoes vs. traditional shoes?

Rejuvenate the Kinetic Chain will provide you with the intellectual tools to start helping your clients get to their goals immediately! Time is the most important factor for both you and your client; start maximizing it and increase your word of mouth buzz and satisfaction surveys!
