Corrective Exercise Sessions
Time Block A - Friday, 9:00-11:50am
Eighty-five percent of all adults will experience low-back pain during their lifetime. Limitations and dysfunctions of the hip joint result in a transfer of responsibility to the lumbar spine, which is not designed to work the way the hips do. We will take a look at the functional interdependency of the hips and the lumbar spine, and delve into the unique mechanical properties of the iliopsoas muscle and it’s affect on upper-body and lower-body motion.
Time Block A - Friday, 9:00-11:50am
Working with clients who have back pain requires an understanding of the terminology and root causes of spinal pain. This interactive session uses real case history details to illustrate the key considerations involved in evaluating and developing exercise programs for clients who have back pain, and advises on how best to communicate with your clients’ doctors. We will also investigate the hierarchy of physiological control centers, which is commonly overlooked but provides essential information for achieving lasting results with your clients.
Time Block B - Friday, 12:50-1:50pm (Special Time)
Performing an accurate structural assessment is the key to understanding movement and ultimately being able to design effective corrective exercise programs. Participants will have the opportunity to practice performing musculoskeletal assessments that can be used with any client. The information presented in this session will prepare you for session #204.
Time Block E - Saturday, 7:30am-1:30pm (Special Time)
As trainers, you’ve been exposed to several assessment techniques and training regimens that can simply be plugged in to any client’s program. Many of these concepts appear to be contradictory to one another and may leave you wondering how they all fit together. We will explore the physiological foundation behind MAT and the distinctive concepts that enable objective analysis of the information uncovered by current assessment practices. In addition, you’ll learn and practice techniques that will allow you to assess the contractile capability of muscles and their ability to handle force.
This course is an abbreviated version of the Muscle Activation Techniques’ Jumpstart (upper extremity) program.
Time Block E - Saturday, 9:00-11:50am
Performing a thorough structural assessment will give you insight into how your client moves. Once you understand this, you will then be able to identify their limitations and/or compensation patterns. This revealing information is vital when designing exercise programs because it helps you identify those kinetic chains that need addressing, ultimately helping them to improve function and eliminate pain and injury. Participants in this highly experiential workshop will have the opportunity to practice these skills and techniques. A basic understanding of how to conduct structural assessments is recommended. Those with limited experience in this area are encouraged to take session #114 as a prerequisite.
Time Block E - Saturday, 9:00-11:50am

This workshop will explore the anatomy and biomechanics involved in the normal healthy functioning of the shoulder girdle. We will take a look at some of the interruptions that can occur and provide exercise progressions to help restore function. We will also take an in-depth look at the available movements and typical movement patterns of the shoulder girdle, and analyze scapular movement, humeral movement and relevant muscular action. Then, common abnormal or dysfunctional movement patterns will be addressed and exercise progressions will be outlined in order to promote optimal performance.
Time Block G - Saturday, 2:00-3:50pm
Have you wondered why some clients learn new exercises quickly and easily, while others struggle with the technique no matter how you coach them? Current research shows that many movement deficiencies in adults can be traced back to incomplete development of the motor-sensory and neurohormonal systems as an infant. The good news is that your clients can often overcome these issues using simple, fun exercises! Be ready to bend, twist, roll, crawl, lunge and squat as you learn how to identify and correct movement patterns that are sure to improve the general day-to-day functioning of your clients.
Time Block H - Saturday, 4:00-5:30pm
Recent research has shown that female athletes are experiencing an increase in injuries that result in serious limitations in performance. This workshop will provide appropriate training strategies and methods to properly design programs for this population. In addition, trainers will be supplied with an exercise arsenal that will make your female athletes truly better athletes.
Time Block I - Sunday, 9:00-11:50am
From stabilization exercise to core training, the literature is loaded with buzzwords and catch phrases. The body doesn’t know, or care, about these descriptive titles. A thorough understanding of spinal mechanics and resistance forces is necessary for good exercise design. Gain an understanding of the rules of the body by exploring the intricate world of joints, forces and muscles. Learn to examine the specific functions of individual muscles and their relationship to spinal mobility, and explore the truth about various forms of passive stretching.
Time Block I - Sunday, 9:00-11:50am
Exercise alone will not help the postrehabilitation client make the lifestyle changes necessary to improve their health. Pain, depression, disabilities and worry can consume your client’s thinking and undermine their belief in their own success. This unique workshop will provide problem-solving approaches to overcoming barriers and essential techniques to help your clients understand and overcome negative internal messaging. The result will be a more confident client who is ready and able to manage their own well-being.
Preconference - Thursday, 9:00am-5:00pm
This Preconference is available for $159 Purchase 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.
