Movement Facilitation Sling Assessment - NSCA Approved 1.4 CEU

Course Description: 

Assessment is an evaluation of the ability of the clients. Movement such as breathing, walking, pushing, pulling, and rotating, which are considered as inherent human movement ability is not usually focused in clinical or orthopedic assessment. The course teaches practitioners/fitness professionals how to assess the human body in ways that can be relatable to day to day activities for the client and better assist the health provider in identifying movement inefficiencies. When it comes to creating a proper treatment plan or corrective exercise program, being able to prioritize basic fundamental movement deviations is crucial in facilitating movement capacity. The course will focus on the assessment for respiration, and gait via the 5 subsystems of the body (core, deep longitudinal sling, posterior oblique sling, anterior oblique sling, and the lateral sling).
