Postural and Functional Exercise Workshop

When & Where
17-18 April 2010
Manila, Philippines (exact venue to be confirmed)

Postural exercises have significantly evolved through time. From the simple planar exercises, to a more advance functional trainings. Names like Robin McKenzie, Pete Egoscue, Mary Bond, Esther Gokhale and others are now becoming more synonymous with better and more efficient exercises. These exercises have proven their worth and have become more sophisticated through the years. And once you study, see, feel and hear the works of these exercise , you’ll realize that there are more to them that just protocol.

Sometimes, for a practicing therapist, it is not enough just to how to theoretically perform these exercises. It is highly important the reasons why and how to execute them properly. With proper execution, the effects are maximized and the probability for injuries is lessened.

With this seminar, we will learn what are the new ways in effective exercise prescription and how to properly execute different postural and functional exercises that would address common postural concerns like back pain, neck pain, shoulder dysfunctions, TMJ and even some neurological symptoms. More so, we will have a better understanding of which exercises would have better results if properly combined.

Free Webinar: Answers to the 10 Most Important Questions About Autism Fitness

25 February 2010
Thursday, 25 February 2010, 2:00 PM – 1:00 PM EST / Friday, 26 February 2010, 1:00 AM – 2:00 AM CST (Philippine Time)

Linda Hodgdon, publisher of AutismFamilyOnline.com, will be interviewing Eric Chessen, the leading expert in Autism Fitness, about the importance of fitness for individuals with autism and how it affects behavior, social skills and life routines.

Do you have students who spend too much time in passive activities such as watching TV or playing too many video games?

Many of our students don’t have the athletic or social skills to participate successfully in typical sports opportunities. But that should not keep them from successfully taking part in fitness activities.

Eric will share specific ways to help students achieve fitness goals, whether or not they have strong athletic capabilities.

Some of the questions discussed will be:
1. How and why does fitness affect social skills and behavior?
2. What is the difference between fitness and sports?
3. Why can sports be difficult for students with ASD?
4. What are the most important goals for fitness?
5. What is the best way to integrate fitness into a student’s life?
and lots more. . .

We will be answering some of your top questions about helping your students achieve health and fitness. Eric will provide specific strategies to make fitness activities fun and enjoyable for your students.

Don’t worry if your schedule does not allow you to attend at the time of the webinar. Everyone who signs up will be sent a link after the program so you can attend on your own time schedule. But you must be signed up to receive this link.
