(14-hour training)

Do your clients have chronic tension or pain? Do you have pain? A recent survey of personal trainers and group exercise instructors found that over 88% experience chronic pain. In fact, 80% of all orthopedic injuries are sports or exercise induced. So why is the current fitness model creating so much injury, dysfunction, and chronic pain? Before now the answer was unknown. New research has revealed the root cause of pain in both active and sedentary people—and it is not muscle imbalance, strength, or flexibility—it cannot be resolved with current exercise protocols. Neurofascial science must be added to current fitness practices to reverse this trend.

Course description:

This 14-hour program will reveal revolutionary neurofascial science regarding connective tissue, pelvic stability, and the core stability system. Learn an applicable model that integrates and simplifies this new science, the MELT Living-Body Model™. Participants will:

• Gain a scientific understanding of new research of the human body regarding pelvic stability and mobility, the role of the diaphragm, tensional relationships and connective tissue, and how the neurofascial core system work to maintain postural integrity.
• Explore the MELT Living-Body Model as a foundation for assessing whole-body imbalance and misalignment to aid in program design of any modality and better provide injury prevention, maximum movement potential, and posture improvement.
• Apply cutting edge science to the current musculoskeletal models to improve your ability to work with a broader variety of clientele.
• Learn the MELT Hand and Foot Treatment and how to use these neurofascial techniques to improve overall body connection, alignment, and flexibility for one-on-one clients.

Prerequisite: Completed application and current certification/license in fitness (i.e., yoga, Pilates, or personal training), manual or physical therapy, or equivalent experience or license
