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.
