Description

The Bulletproof Knee is the second course in the Bulletproof Series that instructs professionals on achieving knee health and performance by optimizing movement, strength, speed, and impact. The course covers progression along the rehabilitation and performance continuum for the knee. A significant focus will be placed on both the quality and the purpose of movement pattern assessment, implementation of exercise progressions, and delivering running, change of direction, and impact drills for your clients.

The foundation of this course is built on movement science from industry leaders FMS, EXOS, Strong First, and the NSCA. The course takes content from all of these educational groups and brings it together to be easily implemented in a gym or clinical setting for both the general population or elite athletes.

Note: Tools are not provided with this course.
