The Anatomy of the Spine program was created for the health and fitness professionals just like you who have been looking for a practical and fun resource for learning the functional anatomy of the spinal muscles.
More importantly, you will be able to incorporate each practical lesson directly into your client’s training programs to improve posture, movement, and performance.
PURCHASEAnatomy of the Spine & Common Spinal Conditions
In this 3-module program, you will be introduced to the anatomy of the spine and common spinal conditions. In this series, you’ll discover:
- Spinal anatomy and how optimal stability of the low back, spine, and neck is developed;
- How posture contributes to common disc and joint issues of the low back and neck;
- How to best assess the spine and choose the most appropriate corrective exercises to improve posture, stability, and movement.
This 3-module webinar series provides a detailed anatomical review of the muscles, bones, and nerves of the trunk, spine, and neck. Using creative visuals, the anatomy, biomechanics, and control of the spinal muscles are brought to life. What makes this program unique, is that you’ll be able to immediately apply the information you are learning.
After participating in this series, you’ll be able to confidently guide your clients through:
- Assessments to determine the impact posture, muscle and nerve function;
- The most appropriate corrective exercises including myofascial release and neuromuscular activation strategies to develop optimal spinal stability;
- Functional training to incorporate spinal health and posture into the fundamental movement patterns required for occupation, recreation, and life.
This Series Includes:
