Dr. Beran will be teaching the application of energy system training in higher order programming. Commonly in rehabilitation settings we are finding that many clinicians consistently under load their patients and this may be limiting their progress and function or this may be slowing their progress with return to performance. In this course you will learn how to assess each client for their current level of function and physical potential. Then, through proper application of higher order training principles, develop a rehabilitation program that will move the client through the rehab stages into performance training working to improve their maximum physical potential. We will address this by understanding, what is physical potential? What are significant KPI’s and how to implement energy system training (EST) and work/rest intervals in different rep schemes. As well as understand how time under tension (TUT) implemented in a rep scheme through different tempo variations can change an exercise and its outcomes.

If you want to get past prescribing 2x10 and create higher order programming that will improve your clients success and your outcomes, this is the course for you.

Dr. Dimak will be discussing how neuromusculoskeletal pain providers are notorious for under loading the patient who presents with acute or chronic pain. Some providers even advise patients who are in pain to stop activity altogether even if activity is a part of the patient’s identity. This talk will cover how we can progressively load our patients who are experiencing pain and how to create a doctor-patient environment that helps promote actual motor learning and skill acquisition for the patient’s goals, whether it be in activities of daily living like putting heavy objects on a high shelf in the kitchen or in performance activities such as a one rep maximum for a barbell deadlift.
