MOVEMENT LOGIC TUTORIALS

About Movement Logic
The Movement Logic tutorials aim to enhance your problem-solving skills so you can work more effectively with your students and clients who are injured or in pain.
Become anatomically and biomechanically informed.
  • Learn musculoskeletal anatomy to better understand how bodies move, adapt, maladapt, get injured, experience pain, and heal.
  • Familiarize yourself with common pathologies to better understand the cascade of your body's response to tissue injury, as well as how pain is commonly patterned in response to these injuries.
Understand Pain
  • You'll study up-to-date, biopsychosocial pain science that breaks down old beliefs in order to paint a more accurate picture of the often complicated and counterintuitive behavior of pain
  • The biopsychosocial model is a holistic perspective to pain that looks at the relationship between your biology, your mind, and society, and how those elements together influence your whole body experience of pain.
Acquire teaching skills
  • You will acquire corrective exercise techniques for helping private clients who have diagnosed injuries as well as those with unspecified pain.
  • You'll learn best practices for presenting these corrective exercises in a group class.
