Inhaltsangabe

Many people suffer from musculoskeletal and movement issues that cause pain and discomfort when performing even the simplest forms of physical activity. The BioMechanics Method, created by corrective exercise expert Justin Price, enables fitness professionals, strength and conditioning specialists, athletic trainers, and physical therapists to correct underlying imbalances so their clients and patients can resume movement pain-free. The BioMechanics Method for Corrective Exercise, Second Edition, provides a systematic approach for applying effective corrective exercise strategies to assess and address muscle and joint pain and movement dysfunction. You will learn to do the following:

• Identify and assess common musculoskeletal imbalances and movement impairments
• Recognize how those imbalances and impairments affect different structures of the body
• Apply various types of corrective exercises
• Implement the appropriate exercise strategies for a client’s circumstances
• Design a corrective exercise program that addresses the underlying cause or causes of musculoskeletal and movement issues

Readers will also have the opportunity to observe the application of many assessment and exercise techniques via 36 online videos. The included corrective exercise library contains more than 65 self-myofascial release, stretching, and strengthening exercises along with suggestions for exercise progressions and regressions. Each technique is supplemented with full-color photos, and additional illustrations and tables aid with proper execution.

The second edition features two entirely new sections that deliver important corrective exercise skills. Part VI explains how to progress from structural assessment to movement analysis for the feet and ankles, knees, hips, spine and shoulders, and neck and head. Part VII demonstrates how to integrate advanced corrective exercise strategies into clients’ programs to address 13 common movement impairments.

Practical advice and useful tools that further enhance professional competency include strategies and examples for communicating with clients to facilitate effective consultations and proper cuing for both the assessments and exercises. Skill acquisition activities and self-checks in every chapter allow readers to practice the real-life application of their techniques. Case studies demonstrate how the entire process can be implemented, from assessment to program design.

To help you capitalize on the specialized skills outlined in this text, the final section of the book explains how to create and manage a corrective exercise business. It covers information on networking and referral systems, tips for staying within scope of practice, and marketing and promotion methods for attracting and retaining clients.

The strategies and techniques in this book, proven successful by thousands of The BioMechanics Method corrective exercise specialists, will enable you to develop distinctive musculoskeletal assessments and corrective exercise skills that can swiftly eliminate pain and improve physical function for your clients.
