Muscle Function and Screening of the Lumbar, Hip and Shoulder

This allows you to recognise dysfunctions or impairments, know when to refer them to a medical or allied health practitioner and personalise their training. This course will explore common impairments associated with the lumbar spine, hip and shoulder girdle. It will describe how to identify these impairments as well as how to take them into account when programming exercises for your clients and ensuring safety.
