Greetings from FITNESS INNOVATIONS MANILA,

We would to invite you in the launching of the following REHAB TRAINER courses in

Manila: Rehab Practitioner and Rehab Fx.

Below is a description of the Rehab Practitioner course happening on the 10th

, 11th

and

12th

of April 2015 which we think will be beneficial for you and your team:

The team of Australian Sports Physiotherapists that designed and made famous the

Rehab Trainer and Functional Trainer courses, has put their brains and practical gym

rehab experience to creating "REHAB Practitioner".

A 3-day Intensive course for Physiotherapists / Physical Therapists, Exercise

Physiologists, Osteopaths and Chiropractors, it offers a powerful and real learning

experience guaranteed to transform your effectiveness with injured patients! Travel

deeply through one body region on each intensive day, and collect a myriad of helpful

and effective bits of knowledge and cutting-edge techniques for the clinic and the

gym.

True to the pattern of education of Rehab Trainer Group, this course for Rehab

Practitioners is:

highly prac-based rather than academic in nature,

more concerned with dysfunctional movements and muscle imbalances than

pathologies,

big on how to fix and find solutions via the dual approach of effective loosening

techniques and powerful activation / movement retraining drills (see more under

"R.E.H.A.B. for Practitioners" below).

techniques learnt will apply to the clinic bed, as well as to the gym and the yoga

mat

can easily applied to the elderly with osteoarthritis,

through to the athlete with niggling problems hampering their performance,

and certainly to the active mother or father struggling with aches and pains as they

manage work and raise a family.

**You will wonder how you ever did without this material!**

Ok so tell me about the R.E.H.A.B. framework for Practitioners?

Let's call them guiding principles, that you apply to a greater or lesser degree with all

clients. They work at the simple level with Rehab Essentials for Exercise

Professionals, and we have now drilled into more technical territory to make them

powerful for full-time Rehab Practitioners too.

What are these guiding principles?

R. Risk Assessment: you will discover the Red Flag Questions and Tests that need to

be used during your clinical examinations to avoid missing high-risk factors that may

be initially hidden from view: hidden physical, psycho-social and medical elements that

lower the odds of easy recovery. The more high-risk positives you discover the greater

the likelihood you will need to refer or seek help from higher medical professionals.

E. Evaluation of Patho-mechanics: our foundational skill taught here is the visual

observation of poor movement patterns as they relate to all the main body areas,

revealing underlying muscle imbalances and joint restrictions. Learn how slow-motion

video can be used for teaching a client their individual pathomechanics, especially for

runners and other athletes. Joint Barrier Assessment specific tests are included for

each area, however not for the purpose of pathology diagnosis but rather to confirm

your suspicions that a particular injury is related to the underlying patho-mechanics

and muscle imbalances you have observed. You receive new 'eyes' to see poor

movement quality and how it drives injury!

H.Hands-on Loosening Techniques: A selection of our favourite and most effective

passive stretching, trigger point, and myo-fascial ("Pulse") techniques are taught both

on clinic beds and in floor positions. Receive tools (see below "What do you

Receive..") as part of your course fee, that enable highly effective myo-fascial release

and joint mobilization to take place. Unique to Rehab Practitioner is HUGE range of

innovative and powerful Seatbelt techniques for extra effectiveness.

A. Activation Drills: From "isolation techniques", through to "iso-integration drills",

and further on towards "integration exercises", inhibited stability musculature is given

the best chance of restored function within the recovering movement pattern that was

dysfunctional. Find the lacking movement, repeatedly rehearse and challenge it, then

incorporate it into the bigger picture of movement. This is the key that will unlock full

long-term resolution of many chronic injuries. The use of simple rubber tubing such as

Theraband is favoured here for it's versatility.

B. Blend into Functionality: you will be exposed to the world of "Functional

Movement" - healthy movement patterns as they relate specifically to your individual

client and their needs, but also broadly speaking to the Strength and Conditioning

phase so critical in late-stage rehabilitation. An introduction to the Functional Training

Movements will open your mind to a very cutting-edge aspect of modern day injury

management.

What do I receive as part of the 3-day course?

Extensive pre-reading before the course ("Prehab") if you are keen on 'warming-up'

your brain beforehand! Receive a 40 page eBook entitiled "Common Biomechanical

Abnormalities of the Human System with Accompanying Muscle Imbalances"

A massive and thorough manual detailing all techniques and with sections for reading.

24 hours solid Face to Face teaching - One-day given to each of the 3 areas: Upper

Limb, Lower Limb and Spine

"Risk Assessment for Rehab Practitioners" laminated cards

Equipment: 1x Posture Pro, 1x Pocket Physio, 1x short dowel, 1x Seatbelt, and 1x

Red Tubing

After course, 3 month free membership to "Club Rehab" - a membership based

support service that enables techniques to be reviewed on video, and watch

pathomechanics until they are easy for you to observe yourself.

What better way to compliment your early studies than to do a short-course intensive

that gives you a new set of skills and tools that are widely used by the elite Sports

Physiotherapists of the Rehab Trainer Group, in their own clinics! All are practicing

Physiotherapists currently, seeking to share their secrets to the wider rehab-

community!

We look forward to your positive response and we hope you can join us in this course
