An optimal posture, balance, and walking strategy is associated with longevity and independence in the older population.
The Anatomy of Posture, Balance, and Walking program was created for the health and fitness professionals just like you who have been looking for a practical and fun resource for learning functional anatomy. More importantly, you will be able to incorporate each practical lesson to improve your client’s posture, balance, and walking strategy.
This series has been pre-recorded to watch at your convenience.
PURCHASEAnatomy of Posture, Balance & Walking
In this 3-module program, you will be introduced to the anatomy of posture, balance, and walking.
In this series, you’ll discover:
- the muscles responsible for optimal posture and walking;
- how the three postural control systems – visual, vestibular, and somatosensory – are coordinated for posture, balance, and walking;
- how to best assess and choose the most appropriate corrective exercises to improve posture, balance, and walking.
This 3-module webinar series provides an anatomical perspective of the systems involved in posture, balance, and walking. Using creative visuals, the anatomy and control of posture, balance, and walking 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 your client’s posture and postural control strategy;
- the most appropriate corrective exercises including myofascial release and neuromuscular activation strategies to optimize alignment and control;
- functional training progressions to create more optimal posture, balance, and walking strategies in your clients.
