Last time we learned your goal is to…

Change the way patients think about movement and exercise by:

1) Identifying the root of movement

dysfunction

2) Find compensation patterns that contribute to pain www.kineticseminars.com



Is this the goal of all rehabilitation and

fitness professionals?




Many rehabilitation professionals follow an impairment-based approach, while neglecting patterns of movement.

Because of this, many patients are discharged from PT pain-free with the proper range of motion and strength

BUT STILL EXHIBIT• asymmetries

• movement compensations• dysfunctional movement

patterns These are predictors of FUTURE INJURY




Fitness professionals or coaches may try to indirectly treat injuries and sometimes do not understand the implications of pain or injury on the body.

Often, they are not referred to the proper medical professional and can

cause further injury long-term.www.kineticseminars.com



In the best interest of the patient, we need to

have a global, comprehensive,

movement-based approach and truly

understand the performance demands of

life and sport for not only athletes, but all

individuals.www.kineticseminars.com



What is“Movement Quality”?




The message is always consistent...

Quality over Quantity

We are trying to reprogram the pattern from the motor control

center. When my patients ask me, “how many reps I should do”, my answer is always, “however many you can

do really well.” If a patient does three sets of 10 reps of an exercise incorrectly,

we just reinforced the movement dysfunction.




Knowing how to teach and execute the technicalities

of all of the primal movements is key for safe return to

an exercise program www.kineticseminars.com
