Workshop 2
Assessment and Warm Up for Foundational Movement
This workshop is designed to provide instructors with tools to fine-tune their programs and help their clientsʼ overall physical condition. By combining traditional and newer training protocols including STOTT PILATES® Basic Biomechanical Principles, Foundational Movement Patterns, and the Merrithew Fascial Movement Variables along with additional factors, learn to assess your clientsʼ established movement patterns. Then, starting with self-assessment in standing, encourage subjective evaluations with multi- planar movements within a dynamic warm-up to identify individual movement default strategies that can hinder exercise training goals.
