The Nuts and Bolts of Corrective Exercise Seminar with Eric Cressey
This will be the fifth time that the I have hosted the Fitness & Rehab Conference. It is amazing to think that it has made it to the big 5. With it being the fifth, I wanted to make it bigger than any of the others so I went out looking for a big name to match the event.
I am so excited to announce Eric Cressey as the headliner of the 2010 Fitness & Rehab Conference.
I didn’t want him just to come all the way from Boston to talk for 90 and leave. If he is he, I wanted him to talk for 14 hours so we all can have all of our questions answered by Eric and learn all we can from him.
In this two-day course, Eric Cressey will provide a comprehensive overview of his approach to corrective exercise. Over the 14 hours of learning, Cressey will present and you will get a chance to practice his unique initial assessment protocol and extensive corrective exercise strategies. He will share his secrets on how he creates training programs aimed at maintaining a training effect and helping his clients reach their goals in spite of injuries. An emphasis will be placed on practical application and hands-on learning which can be immediately applied to healthy, injured and athlete populations.
Interview with Eric Cressey on what you will learn at the course – Part 1
Today, Eric Cressey has a guest blog post for you.
I am so excited about the blog post and Eric’s upcoming course at the Fitness & Rehab Conference on March 27 & 28 in Vancouver. I have Eric presenting the whole weekend on corrective exercise for rehabilitation and performance.
Now lets get to the blog post.
One of the most common issues we see in both athletes and our general population clients is a lack of ankle mobility – and more specifically, dorsiflexion range-of-motion.
For just about everything in life – from sprinting, to lunging, to squatting – we need a certain amount of dorsiflexion (think of how far the knees can go over the toes, or the positive shin angle one can create without lifting the heel). If we don’t have it, we have to compensate.
One of the most common things we see in people with a lack of dorsiflexion ROM is an “out-toeing,” as this opens up the ankle and allows for them to get to where they need to be – even if it isn’t the most biomechanically correct way to do so. This out-toeing may also be caused by hip internal rotation deficit (HIRD), so it’s important to assess both. Check out this video for more information on how to assess for HIRD.
I am on my way to Seattle to present at the NSCA Washington State Fall Clinic. Before I headed off, I wanted to let you know who will coming to Vancouver next year.
This will be the fifth time that the I have hosted the Fitness & Rehab Conference. It is amazing to think that it has made it to the big 5. With it being the fifth, I wanted to make it bigger than any of the other so I went out looking for a big name to match the event.
I have been reading Eric’s work for years and it is great to have him come up to Vancouver, BC, Canada and share his knowledge on corrective exercise.
I know some of you maybe saying, “who?” Trust me, he is one of the leaders in the fitness industry when it comes to corrective exercise.
Now that you know who is coming to the 2010 fitness & rehab, this is what you need to do.
