Greetings from FITNESS INNOVATIONS MANILA,

We would to invite you in the launching of the following REHAB TRAINER courses in
Manila: Rehab Practitioner and Rehab Fx.
Below is a description of the Rehab Practitioner course happening on the 10 th, 11th and
12th of April 2015 which we think will be beneficial for you and your team:
The team of Australian Sports Physiotherapists that designed and made famous the
Rehab Trainer and Functional Trainer courses, has put their brains and practical gym
rehab experience to creating "REHAB Practitioner".
A 3-day Intensive course for Physiotherapists / Physical Therapists, Exercise
Physiologists, Osteopaths and Chiropractors, it offers a powerful and real learning
experience guaranteed to transform your effectiveness with injured patients! Travel
deeply through one body region on each intensive day, and collect a myriad of helpful
and effective bits of knowledge and cutting-edge techniques for the clinic and the
gym.

True to the pattern of education of Rehab Trainer Group, this course for Rehab
Practitioners is:
highly prac-based rather than academic in nature,
more concerned with dysfunctional movements and muscle imbalances than
pathologies,
big on how to fix and find solutions via the dual approach of effective loosening
techniques and powerful activation / movement retraining drills (see more under
"R.E.H.A.B. for Practitioners" below).
techniques learnt will apply to the clinic bed, as well as to the gym and the yoga
mat
can easily applied to the elderly with osteoarthritis,
through to the athlete with niggling problems hampering their performance,
and certainly to the active mother or father struggling with aches and pains as they
manage work and raise a family.
**You will wonder how you ever did without this material!**

Ok so tell me about the R.E.H.A.B. framework for Practitioners?

Let's call them guiding principles, that you apply to a greater or lesser degree with all
clients. They work at the simple level with Rehab Essentials for Exercise
Professionals, and we have now drilled into more technical territory to make them
powerful for full-time Rehab Practitioners too.

What are these guiding principles?

R. Risk Assessment: you will discover the Red Flag Questions and Tests that need to
be used during your clinical examinations to avoid missing high-risk factors that may
be initially hidden from view: hidden physical, psycho-social and medical elements that
lower the odds of easy recovery. The more high-risk positives you discover the greater
the likelihood you will need to refer or seek help from higher medical professionals.
E. Evaluation of Patho-mechanics: our foundational skill taught here is the visual
observation of poor movement patterns as they relate to all the main body areas,
revealing underlying muscle imbalances and joint restrictions. Learn how slow-motion
video can be used for teaching a client their individual pathomechanics, especially for
runners and other athletes. Joint Barrier Assessment specific tests ar e included for
each area, however not for the purpose of pathology diagnosis but rather to confirm
your suspicions that a particular injury is related to the underlying patho -mechanics
and muscle imbalances you have observed. You receive new 'eyes' to see poor
movement quality and how it drives injury!
H.Hands-on Loosening Techniques: A selection of our favourite and most effective
passive stretching, trigger point, and myo-fascial ("Pulse") techniques are taught both
on clinic beds and in floor positions. Receive tools (see below "What do you
Receive..") as part of your course fee, that enable highly effective myo -fascial release
and joint mobilization to take place. Unique to Rehab Practitioner is HUGE range of
innovative and powerful Seatbelt techniques for extra effectiveness.
A. Activation Drills: From "isolation techniques", through to "iso-integration drills",
and further on towards "integration exercises", inhibited stability musculature is given
the best chance of restored function within the recovering movement pattern that was
dysfunctional. Find the lacking movement, repeatedly rehearse and challenge it, then
incorporate it into the bigger picture of movement. This is the key that will unlock full
long-term resolution of many chronic injuries. The use of simple rubber tubing such as
Theraband is favoured here for it's versatility.

B. Blend into Functionality: you will be exposed to the world of "Functional

Movement" - healthy movement patterns as they relate specifically to your individual
client and their needs, but also broadly speaking to the Strength and Conditioning
phase so critical in late-stage rehabilitation. An introduction to the Functional Training
Movements will open your mind to a very cutting-edge aspect of modern day injury
management.
What do I receive as part of the 3-day course?

Extensive pre-reading before the course ("Prehab") if you are keen on 'warming-up'
your brain beforehand! Receive a 40 page eBook entitiled "Common Biomechanical
Abnormalities of the Human System with Accompanying Muscle Imbalances"
A massive and thorough manual detailing all techniques and with sections for reading.
24 hours solid Face to Face teaching - One-day given to each of the 3 areas: Upper
Limb, Lower Limb and Spine
"Risk Assessment for Rehab Practitioners" laminated cards
Equipment: 1x Posture Pro, 1x Pocket Physio, 1x short dowel, 1x Seatbelt, and 1x
Red Tubing
After course, 3 month free membership to "Club Rehab" - a membership based
support service that enables techniques to be reviewed on video, and watch
pathomechanics until they are easy for you to observe yourself.
What better way to compliment your early studies than to do a short -course intensive
that gives you a new set of skills and tools that are widely used by the elite Sports
Physiotherapists of the Rehab Trainer Group, in their own clinics! All are practicing
Physiotherapists currently, seeking to share their secrets to the wider rehab community!
We look forward to your positive response and we hope you can join us in this course
