Kinesics Theory Course
Kinesics Theory is a two-section course.
By exploring fundamental concepts in human movement, the professional gains an immense understanding of the interconnections within the body, how movement is created, as well as appreciate how restrictions in one area can affect and alter movements elsewhere within the body.
The Theory course advances the professional’s understanding of biomechanics, spinal mechanics, the role of postural muscles, and the role of fascia including fascial trains, planes, tracks and movement systems. By providing this multi-disciplinary approach, the professional gains a strong foundation in the education and communication of the body’s functional movement patterns and the associated human movement systems.
Learning Objectives
At the end of this course you will be able to:
