Synergy
of Human Movement Program was created
with one thing in mind. To teach the personal
trainer medical and scientifically based
information enhancing their knowledge
base. To bridge the gap between physical therapists
and personal trainers.
Course
Overview:
With
Synergy of Human Movement, you will g ain a deeper
understanding on how human movement occurs
scientifically and biomechanically. You will learn
how the various systems of the body affect one
another and understand the functional anatomy
that performs human movement. You will learn about
common neuromuscular injuries and post therapy
training programs that get results. Before you
can train any client, you need to understand
the science behind the movement, otherwise
why are you training?
This course is the only
two-day live lecture and hands on seminar with
direct practical
application on truly learning and understandig
about human movement and how the human body works.
Stay current with the latest research and techniques
to train all clients' enabling them to return
to optimal health and function.
This
comprehensive course includes a 479 page manual,
5 DVD s et featuring Chris Gellert, PT, MPT, CSCS,
CPT. The online exam, which requires a passing
score of 75% to earn CEU credit, is also included.
PTCS is there for you to answer any questions
you may have as well as provide quizzes and additional
information to help you understand and guide you
in truly understanding the science behind the
movement!
The
program is not intended to teach the
attendee (personal trainer) to act
nor be a physical therapist . The program does
not teach nor encourage any personal
trainer to examine joint mobility, assess muscle
strength, gait, or assess an individual's balance.
Moreover, PTCS encourages personal trainers to
practice within their scope accordingly.

Synergy
of Human Movement Live Seminar Outline:
How
do we Move? The Biomechanics of Human Movement(L/LAB)
This lecture/workshop
thoroughly provide a deeper analysis and understanding
on the biomechanics of how human movement occurs,
biomechanics of connective tissue, how structure
affects function, functional anatomy to perform
movement, as well as muscle imbalances within
the shoulder complex. Review of common static
and dynamic forces and physics terms will make
you think differently as we move.
The
Nuts and Bolts of the knee: from injury back to
the gym(L)
This lecture will review the anatomy, functional
anatomy, common muscle imbalances within the knee
joint. Pathomechanics and biomechanics of movement
examining the tibiofemoral and patellofemoral
joints. Discuss of
common knee dysfunction such as ACL reconstruction,
menisectomies, total knee replacement(TKR) and
others will be reviewed with post therapy training
recommendations.
Functional
training: The integrated approach(L/LAB)
This lecture/workshop will examine integrative
training principles such as will examine program
design, exercise prescription, neuromuscular training,
spinal stabilization and stretching and their
effect on one another. This section will examine
exercise prescription in detail and the importance
of selecting proper exercises with any client.
Sample workout programs with
clinical rationale will be reviewed
to guide the personal trainer in mastering exercise
prescription. Performance of functional strengthening
exercises with medicine balls, physioballs and
other equipment will be performed.
Understanding
Posture: The Postural vs. Phasic Pull(L)
This lecture will delve into explaining the difference
and effect of postural vs. phasic muscles. It
will also examine assessing posture, postural
dysfunctions and post therapy training principles.
This lecture will make you think not only about
how you train your clients, but more importantly
how we think about the human body and how dysfunctions
develop.
Secrets
of the Shoulder: Scientific Shoulder Training(L/LAB)
This lecture/workshop will review the functional
anatomy, force-couple relationships, common imbalances
within the shoulder complex. Pathomechanics and
biomechanics of shoulder movement will be examined
thoroughly. Discussion of common shoulder dysfunctions
such as impingement, rotator cuff repair, bursitis,
instabilities, dislocations, adhesive capsulitis
and others will be reviewed with post therapy
training recommendations.
Case
Studies Review(Discussion)
This interactive lecture and discussion will examine
several case studies on real patients who transitioned
from physical therapy to personal training and
ultimately back to the gym safely with periodized
programming and selective exercise prescription.
Anatomy, biomechanics, program design, safety/precautions
will all thoroughly be discussed providing much
needed clarity.
The
Road Map to tackling the complex Back Client(L)
This lecture will examine and discuss the most
common back conditions such as Spinal stenosis,
herniated discs, spondylosis, spondylolysis, spondylolisthesis
and other while providing clarity on each while
examining the anatomical, biomechanical differences
of each. Program design, exercise prescription
and do's and don't with all conditions as well
as practical stabilization exercises that work
will be extensively reviewed.
The
Truth about the Core(L/LAB)
This dynamic lecture/workshop will discuss how
to assess the core with functional assessments,
review of the key stabilizers of the spine and
core and importance will thoroughly be reviewed.
You will also learn the “neural connection” on
the relationship between the brain and the musculoskeletal
system. Learn new static, dynamic and challenging
lumbar stabilization exercises that you can add
to your exercise repertoire.
Essentials
of Program Design/Periodization Training(L)
Learn the foundation about program design and
periodization training. This lecture will discuss
essential concepts pf program design that all
trainers should master when working with any client.
Learn how to manipulate exercise variables such
as reps, sets, loads, and rest periods. Periodization
concepts with sample sport training program will
be thoroughly discussed in detail.
Exercises
that hurt more than help(L/LAB)
This interactive lecture and demonstration will
review several key exercises, stretches, and functional
strengthening exercises that can create or lead
to dysfunction and should be avoided. Anatomy,
biomechanics and clinical rationale will all be
discussed as with attendance participation. This
session will make you really think about exercises
that you teach and why they are utilized in training
programming.
Nuts
and Bolts of Neuromuscular Training(L/LAB)
This lecture/workshop will discuss the foundation
or motor control and motor learning which are
the foundation of learning any new exercise, retraining,
improving balance, etc. This in depth lecture
will examine integration of body systems reviewing
the connection between the neurologic and musculoskeletal
system. The physiology of balance and movement
will be examined in great detail. Come prepared
to really learn and understand complex information
made simple. Learn new static and dynamic balance
exercises to add to your exercise repertoire.
