Gain the knowledge and skills to enhance your clients’ freedom of movement.
Improve client outcomes
Assess movement accurately
Enhance training effectiveness
Break the barriers of limited movement
For fitness and healthcare professionals, accurately assessing and tackling your clients’ movement issues is crucial, marking the line between pain and freedom, stiffness and fluidity. Practitioners face the tough task of identifying the root causes of movement restrictions or compensations and then must develop customized programs based on that information.
For those working with athletes, this expertise becomes even more critical. Understanding each sport’s requirements and optimizing an athlete’s movement patterns can unlock their highest potential for performance, ensuring that no energy is wasted, the risk for injury can be mitigated, and every action moves them closer to their goals.
Improve function & freedom of movement for clients
Imagine equipping your clients with a personalized training program that not only stabilizes and strengthens their bodies but also improves their movement and increases mechanical efficiency. With the right knowledge and tools, you can become a catalyst for improved function and enhanced well-being for rehabilitation, performance, or general well-being.
Part One
The theory of LINK training
Part One of the LINK Foundation Course delves into currently accepted biomechanics theories, providing a robust framework to understand and assess functional and dysfunctional movement patterns and how to employ critical thinking in your programming and exercise choices.
You’ll learn to assess and address movement mechanics, regress or progress exercises and load, and modify exercises that are not working. This will set the stage for comprehensive and personalized programs and individual outcomes for your clients.
Part two
The power of practical application
As a practitioner committed to elevating your clients’ movement experience, you understand the importance of hands-on learning. The second weekend of the LINK Foundation Course provides structured mentorship for integrating theoretical knowledge with practical skills, enriching your ability to apply biomechanical principles in a real-world setting.
Imagine equipping your clients with a personalized training program that not only stabilizes and strengthens their bodies but also improves their movement and increases mechanical efficiency. With the right knowledge and tools, you can become a catalyst for improved function and enhanced well-being for rehabilitation or performance or general well-being.
