My career as a personal trainer has been transformed, and it is exciting to watch my clients progress as a result. T. Clifton – California, USA You will leave IMS 1 feeling transformed in your confidence as a coach. The knowledge I gained was practical and built on my understanding of physiology and health immensely. N. Baumgardner - Colorado, USA I am a healthy person and have been exercising for years. This course took my knowledge of health and movement to a level I didn't even know existed. Very grateful! J. Cleal - New South Wales, AUS IMS1 should be the baseline standard for exercise coaching. I feel like everything I thought I knew prior to this course pales in comparison to the skills I have now. I feel empowered as a holistic health practitioner and far safer to coach any client (and know exactly when to refer on). O.

Learn basic stretch assessments for targeted stretching. Learn the mental-emotional relationships to body restriction. Explore the fascia~water relationship.

Scientific Stretching

Course is completed 100% online and includes a manual, streaming videos (4 hours, 40 minutes) and test. Learn a unique and powerful approach to understanding the deep causes behind sub-optimal athletic performance and injuries. This course will teach you about the stages of human infant development, how breaks in the chain of development have health consequences for adults, and how to rehabilitate people who suffer from these breaks with simple exercise prescriptions. About the Course What you'll Learn What's Included One of the great miracles of human life is that we start out as stranded, dependent, relatively immobile beings and become, within the space of about 1 year, dexterous, independent, squatting, bending, climbing, walking beings. It is this startling transition – and the ongoing development beyond this – which allows us to move towards our goals in life. How do we go through this transformation?There is a very specific motor-sensory and brain-body developmental sequence that we need to pass through to become well-functioning adults.But sometimes, there’s a break in that developmental chain… sometimes due to accidents, sometimes due to illness and other times due to misinformed advice or ideas of how a child should develop. When such a break occurs, inefficiency in movement, loss of coordination and other musculoskeletal, visceral and hormonal disorders can result.This course is designed to teach you the exact sequence of human infant development, how to track down when and where your clients have experienced those breaks in the developmental chain, and how to address them through simple exercise interventions.The tremendous benefit of the approach is to see and address the deep and often hidden causes for injury and suboptimal athletic performance. Infant Development is a powerful approach to functional exercise that will give you deeper, and little-known, insights into movement dysfunction. That means you will be able to help more people. You’ll learn: The human motor-sensory developmental sequence, all the way from simple breathing to the complexity of gait How the human nervous system self-programs and self-corrects, using infant development. The connections between infant development and static/dynamic posture How to assess for breaks in the developmental sequence Infant Development exercises such as Naval Radiation, the Inchworm and the Reptilian Crawl How to incorporate infant development exercise into your programs How to use the Swiss ball, diet and lifestyle changes to reconstruct the neuro-motor functions of the body How to progress from infant development exercises to conditioning programs Infant Development Includes: 12 videos 4 hours and 40 minutes of footage PDF Manual Online Exam Certificate of Completion
