Screen, Steer, Move: Quickly Identify and Correct Faulty Movement Patterns

The key to improving movement quality starts with a high-quality screening tool. If you don’t understand a person’s dysfunction, you will never be able to give them appropriate interventions.

But, screening is just the beginning. Bringing 20 years of movement analysis experience to the program, Mitch Hauschildt, will provide insight for how to screen and enhance movement quality.

This step-by-step process will result in improved clinical outcomes and increased performance in your client population.

You’ll learn exactly why, how, and when to screen your clients and patients and how to correct their faulty movement patterns.

Identify and correct the core issue faster – watch Mitch Hauschildt for Screen, Steer, Move!

Hip Impingement: Assessment and Treatment

When you can integrate the musculoskeletal, nervous and vestibular systems – you've got the treatment trifecta. That’s what we’re bringing to the table in this recording: integrated solutions that will help you effectively assess and treat hip impingement. Through the lens of understanding the osteokinematics of the hip during gait, you’ll learn new approaches to:

Integrate systems for assessment and load movement applications
Treat capacity vs anatomy
Feel confident knowing when to stabilize vs when to mobilize

We'll also bring in a motor control perspective, so you’ll learn how to better assess the nervous system as a part of your protocol. Dr. Wolf will provide easy and practical solutions for your patients’ progressions that you can use in clinic right away.

Thoracic Spine: Assessment and Treatment

The thoracic spine is like a crossroads – transmitting forces from the top down and also from the bottom up, while also playing a pivotal role in respiration. This region can be quite a challenge to assess, much less treat. Dr. Wolf will provide solutions for the most common complaints you face including:

Neck pain
Shoulder pain
Low back pain
Respiratory deficiencies
Posture and position problems

Through a thorough discussion on the influencers of the thoracic spine, this recording will provide assessment and intervention strategies that will be helpful to all movement practitioners. You’ll have a better understanding of integration motion and motor control and glean new ideas for integrated treatment and intervention strategies.
