Description

This course in the Bulletproof Series instructs professionals on developing a program that optimizes complete spine health and performance. The course covers progression along the rehabilitation and performance continuum for the spine. A significant focus will be placed on both the quality and the purpose of movement pattern assessment, implementing exercise progressions, and delivering appropriate program for stability, strength, speed, and endurance. Focused progression and regression will be the emphasis of this course, so you as an instructor, can cleanly deliver the best program for your client at exactly the right time.

The foundation of this course is built on movement science shared from industry leaders such as 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.
