Course Description

Course Overview

Corrective Exercise Strategies is the second CPD in the CORE 4 series of courses. The importance of being able to understand and identify muscle imbalance and movement dysfunction precedes the need to be able to develop clear corrective exercise strategies to rectify these issues. The time constraints of Personal Training sessions mean that being able to maximise the effectiveness of each session is essential. What sets the LFE Corrective Exercise Strategies apart from other similar CPDs is the level of integration of these strategies into the programming of PT sessions.

This 16 Hour CPD will provide you with proven strategies to be able to correct muscle imbalance and movement dysfunction with a wide variety of postural and movement dysfunctions.

Course Content

• Science of Stretching, Mobilisation, Activation & Motor Control

Entry Requirements/Pre Requisites

We recommend having attended the first CPD in our CORE 4 series – Movement Screening and Muscle Imbalance, but sufficient prior learning and ability to demonstrate understanding of these screens is sufficient.
