There is an explosion of interest in corrective exercise that has emerged from the functional training movement.  As the profile of our client/patient demographic changes, so does the necessary skill set of the professionals working with them.

Function is different things for different people.  And the continuum of function is more than warming someone up and then throwing them onto a stability ball and launching water balloons at them.  

We are coming full circle to see how we can move forward most successfully with our clients after we take a brief, calculated step back.

Corrective exercise are not a bunch of single joint isometric exercises.  
Anthony teaches that corrective exercises are designed to positively influence the neuromuscular system globally and are not dictated by symptoms, medical interventions or isolated issues. 

When used with specific functional objectives in mind, corrective exercises can be progressed to multi planar and/or proprioceptively challenging exercises within a given one hour session.  This is what we do everyday at Function First.  We use corrective exercises to create an environment where the client can be most successful performing exercises/movements that are vertically loaded, multi planar and/or on labile surfaces. 

The body is cued to move differently through the stimulus of the corrective exercises.  The corrective exercises are ascended, progressively linking together more complex movements.  By following this programming strategy, we facilitate changes to the individual’s biomechanical constraints and motor control strategies. 

For these reasons, the functional contribution to clients, athletes and patients is significant.  We can stop yelling at our clients and athletes to do things differently and start teaching their bodies to respond without conscious effort.  That translates into an ideal environment for truly optimal movement patterns.

What the Seminar Will Cover

In this seminar, Anthony Carey will share more than 17 years of experience working in the field of corrective exercise for pain reduction and human performance.

You’ll learn…

• Functional anatomy and description of functional  movements
• Three functional assessments of their client:  1) Static postural assessment 2) Single leg stance assessment 3) Overhead squat assessment
• The role and application of corrective exercise to the population in pain
• The role and application of corrective exercise to the athletic population.
• The motor learning responses to corrective exercise and appropriate progressions
• Specific corrective exercises for different regions of the body

And, you'll receive over $70 in products to help you get started!
(shipped to you prior to the course date if you register within 7 days of the course.  Otherwise materials will be provided the first day of the course)

• Anthony's best selling book, The Pain-Free Program:  A Proven Method to Relieve Back, Neck, Shoulder and Joint Pain ($15.95 value). 

• The DVD, Corrective Exercises for Powerful Change ($54.95 value).
