Improve Readiness and Physical Fitness

POSE METHOD® SPECIALIST CERTIFICATION COURSE

THE POSE METHOD: A STANDARDIZED APPROACH TO RUNNING AND INJURY PREVENTION

LIVE SEMINAR: 16 CONTACT HOURS

This 2-day course is designed for the members of the Military to learn how to improve readiness and physical fitness. Participants will be taught how to do video analysis and use running technique assessment tools to analyze running gait, movement patterns and identify deviations from the standard established by the Pose Method framework.

Prevention of running related injuries and significant reduction in eccentric knee loading will be discussed. The course will cover the importance of correct technique in running as well as its connection to physical fitness and general readiness. Participants will learn how to use specific technique drills and strength exercises to improve speed and endurance.

Related scientific research and clinical studies will be presented and discussed.

Since adopting this practice I have seen patients who were unable to run for years, not only start running again, but do so pain free. Other patients have shaved one to two minutes, on average, off of their two-mile Army Physical Fitness Test run times. Since learning the Pose Method, I have personally dropped my half marathon time by 10 minutes.
