Primal movements are at their roots functional, purposeful, and efficient. They create success in a physical task and reduce the chances of injury. They are rooted in embryological, neurological, structural, and biomecanical influences that when neglected, create inefficient movement – leading to inevitable breakdown and injury.
This course will teach you:
- The intricate nature of the neuromusculoskeletal system, and how it relates to efficient (or inefficient) movement patterns AND how our embryological and developmental patterning influences our system as a whole.
- How to evaluate the body as a system, recognizing regionally interdependent areas and their influence on painful or injured tissues.
- How to prioritize the most important regions to treat first based on the movement assessment – which will produce faster results, recognizing that these regions may be remote to the patient’s complaint of pain.
- Ways to think outside the box when prescribing an exercise plan and incorporate exercises that integrate the body as a system for maximum outcomes.
This course is approved for 18.5 continuing education hours. 12 of the 18.5 hours also qualify for direct access continuing education hours in Pennsylvania.
