Pain Free Performance- Analyse wellness in every person’s form and ability (1CPD POINT)
This workshop will explain how to identify reasons behind recurring pain, weaknesses in movement patterns, and prescribe mobility and strength exercises to increase performance and prevent injuries. Attendees will learn how to we will approach improvements in performance and pain in an all-encapsulating movement continuum rather than looking at weaknesses in strength and poor flexibility of individual muscles and structures in an isolated approach. For example, during an overhead squat you may feel your core is preventing you from performing the perfect technique. But the answer isn’t in strengthening the core; the answer may be somewhere else in the body as it’s all connected.
