PREHAB TRAINER™

Prehab is the PROactive approach to exercising that prevents pain and injury. It is in contrast to rehab, which is concerned about regaining function following injury or surgery.

The PREHAB TRAINER™ Program helps you help your clients achieve their physical goals regardless of your chosen movement discipline. The Full Prehab Trainer™ program has 3 Parts.

• Axial skeleton : focuses on the Spine and Core, the center and powerhouse of the human body.

• Lower Limb : focuses on the Lower Limbs & Pelvic Girdle, the foundation of all bipedal movements.

• Upper Limb : focuses on the Upper Limbs & Shoulder Girdle, the source of many clients’ pain and aches.

Why Prehab Trainer™?

When tension is evenly distributed throughout the whole body, the body is at ease; it moves easily and efficiently. When there’s misalignment in a body, tension accumulates at certain points, manifesting in pain and injury.

Prehab Trainer™ is a step-by-step critical thinking process to:

1. Recognise movement dysfunctions in a client; or the potential for specific movement dysfunctions.

2. Understand what a particular movement dysfunction or imbalance implies.

3. Make the best decisions on what exercises will benefit the client e.g. what and/or when to release; stretch; activate; or strengthen & condition.

Learn:

• To spot potential dysfunctional movements or imbalances both visually and by palpation

• How a dysfunction or imbalance in one area of the body can impact other

• The process of identifying the areas that need to be addressed e.g. which areas are hypertonic? Or shortened? Which areas require conditioning?

• How the identified areas need to be addressed i.e. which techniques to apply. Release? Stretch? An activation drill or perhaps strengthening exercises?

• The techniques

… and more, using familiar exercises e.g. Squats, Single Leg Deadlift, Side Lunges, V-Up, Arch Up, Shoulder Press, Chin Up etc.
