Step1: Coach and Modify the Barbell Lift
Learn our step-by-step approach for how to modify lifts around pain in this live 15 hour CEU approved event
When someone has pain with a lift, there are a lot of modifications you can make such as reducing intensity, modifying volume and frequency, or changing the joint angles or range of motion of the lift.
We’ve taken all of these different modifications you can make and organized them into a methodical approach to show you what to prioritize and the exact steps you should take based on the individual’s needs.
Step 2: Optimally Design and Program the Accessory Work
Learn how to program and optimize accessory work for a wide range of client presentations
While coaching and modifying the barbell lifts such as the squat, deadlift, bench press, and overhead press serve as the pivotal foundation in promoting training longevity, it’s still just one piece of the puzzle.
What you do AFTER can make all of the difference. How do you modify a lunge for knee or back pain? What kind of specific accessory work would you program for someone with recurrent shoulder instability? Utilizing our 4-Step Framework for Training With Pain, we go through ALL of this and MORE to help you develop comprehensive programs tailored to your clients’ specifics needs.
The Barbell Rehab Method Certification event is a one-of-a-kind continuing education event where we invite BOTH fitness and healthcare professionals to attend. Why? The answer is simple. Whether you’re a personal trainer, strength coach, physical therapist, physical therapy assistant, or chiropractor, we are all in this business for the same reason…to help our clients reduce pain and improve performance and quality of life. And in order to do this optimally, we need to UNITE and work as a TEAM to get the job done.
Far too often I see healthcare providers hesitate to refer their patients to a personal trainer after discharge in fear that they might “undo all of their progress.” On the other hand, fitness professionals may be hesitant to refer their clients to a healthcare provider in fear that they’ll be told to stop lifting. We want to offer a better solution. One where rehab and fitness pros work TOGETHER to help prevent overmedicalization and unnecessary surgeries.
