Enhance Your Understanding of Your Client’s Body in Motion
As an exercise professional who coaches movement, it’s vital to have a comprehensive understanding of the biomechanics and anatomy of the human body. That means being knowledgeable about how individual muscles work within your clients’ body to create movement.
In this course, you’ll get a comprehensive overview of human anatomy so that you can better understand how each client’s body is its own unique puzzle and how each of the pieces fit together. You’ll embark on a journey of anatomical discovery, where you’ll be provided with the tools required to understand your clients’ bodies as they move. With a foundation in antagonists, compensations and modifications, you’ll be able to create exercise programs that are specific to your clients’ needs.
Led by Tanya Thompson, founder of Pilates Unlimited—the Art of Movement™, Of-CourseOnline.com and FitroFlow.com who has also developed specialized movement and rehabilitation courses for health care professionals, you’ll unfold the amazing world of the human body in motion and take your expertise of biomechanics to a new level.
Upon completion, you will be able to:
- Analyze movement on an anatomical level, allowing you to better understand clients’ bodies as they move
- Define the muscles, the movements they produce, their antagonists and compensations due to muscular restrictions
- Understand how the musculoskeletal system responds to movement
Reviews
The lecture videos were excellent, well presented, and appropriate for fitness and Pilates instructors. However, I was very disappointed with the 40-question quiz, which felt geared more toward kinesiology or physical therapist professionals and did not align with the lectures content most of the time. As an RN educator and a certified fitness and Pilates instructor, I rarely give poor ratings. Considering the cost and time commitment, I felt this concern should be acknowledged.
Outstanding presentation and course materials. Great for anyone needing an introduction or refresher.
