What You’ll Learn From This Course:

Upon completion of this Feet, Fascia, and Functional Movement course, you will:

  • Recognize how small nerve proprioceptive training and stimulation contribute to greater movement accuracy and performance.

  • Know how to use fascial elasticity training and rhythmic loading to effectively transfer force during dynamic movement.

  • Understand the anatomy of the plantar foot layers, and how their interconnected fascial lines support foot function and human performance.

  • Be able to develop training programs that help boost movement efficiency, also helping clients engage in more precise movements.

How You Can Use It:

This three-part series teaches fitness professionals how feet, fascia, and functional movements are interconnected, and how working on one aspect of this triad helps improve the others. It covers the latest research in these areas while also providing effective training techniques.

Trainers can use the information learned in this course to develop training programs designed to help clients engage in more precise and efficient movements. The Feet, Fascia, and Functional Movement Course is beneficial for any personal trainer that works with athletes who rely on movement accuracy and efficiency when participating in their sports of choice. With your training, they can optimize their foot function and improve their athletic performance.

Movement accuracy can be beneficial for other fitness clients as well. You can use what you learn about fascial tensioning, fascial elasticity, and fascial lines to help everyone you train better meet their health and fitness goals.

Create a unique training program that incorporates all three of these aspects, or intersperse various techniques learned in this course into your current exercise programs. Either way, what you learn in this course will help establish you as an expert in this space, also increasing your credibility as a trainer who gets their clients maximal performance results.
