CORE Conundrums

Enough is Enough!

 

Get to the centre of what is really needed when it comes to the real-world functional demands associated with health, wellbeing and performance.

This LIVE online workshop is designed to broaden your understanding of dynamic musculoskeletal control and will set you free from ubiquitous generic teaching approaches that quite frankly fail to meet the mark and may even contribute to reduced function, inefficiency and injury!

You should leave this workshop feeling refreshed and empowered to confidently tackle many of the real barriers standing in the way or your physical  aspirations or those of whom you work with as a movement teaching professional.

Get informed & make better choices

It is time everyone had the knowledge and skills to scrutinise the validity and reliability of practices they are so often encouraged to pursue without question!

This one is not just for teachers! Participants simply need an interest in human movement. If you teach or engage in movement practice or exercise of any kind and ‘CORE training’ features within your training agenda, this workshop is for you!

Next LIVE Workshop TBA later in 2025

Workshop Objectives

Develop your knowledge & skills and use them to:

  • Broaden your understanding of functional movement: Specifically in the context of core stability, movement control, precision and balance.
  • Contextualise movement impairments: Gain a clearer understanding of when, where, and why movement function becomes compromised and how a "weak core" has little to do with functionality and performance.
  • Evaluate and plan: Learn what is really standing between you and your goals (or the goals of those you teach) and how to implement training agendas to address the real issues and realise full potential.
  • Implement the good stuff! Adopt a range of key exercises and programming strategies explored within the workshop. Everything covered is designed to be implemented seamlessly into existing practices to effect meaningful and effective outcomes.

Reframe & evolve your perspective

  • Beginning with an exploration of the back story surrounding the concept of 'stability' and core training methodologies. We'll scrutinise common concepts and practices in relation to real-world health and performance aspirations.
  • Re-framing stability as a dynamic multifactorial process associated with musculoskeletal control, where functional processes are governed by specificity of physical demands.
  • This workshop delivers workable approaches, providing you with training frameworks, flexible enough to aid physical recovery, as well as maintain and enhance movement performance.
  • Numerous real world examples will be explored, demonstrating how this pragmatic approach can be applied in practice.
  • You'll deepen your understanding of familiar material, revisiting exercises through a new lens! Then broaden your scope of practice with a wide variety of new material backed up by enhanced knowledge and skills.

 Why Attend this Workshop?

With so many now citing a “weak core” as a key determinant or contributing factor for almost every physical ailment or performance limitation experienced by humans (and the wider animal kingdom now too!), this workshop explores the truth behind the claims. Delving into origins of concept and looking at how the science has been applied (or not) to real-world applications and approaches for performance and health; this workshop will help you clarify your position regarding this nebulous term, enabling you to approach the subject in a more objective and meaningful way. 

‘Core Stability’ truly is a paradox; an arbitrary term now commonly used to explain away the reasons behind an individual’s physical inadequacies or illness. With so many people advocating its importance, surly there must be some tangible explanation behind the hype? In-truth there are many interwoven factors that contribute to human health and physical performance, which we will begin to unpick throughout the workshop.

Movement teachers: If you are ready to develop your knowledge, raise your skills and stand out from the masses, this workshop will help you cut through the industry bluff and deliver impactful work for your clients. Join us now for:

  • Expert Instruction: Learn from experienced professionals who specialize in biomechanics and movement science.
  • Comprehensive Content: Enjoy a well-rounded curriculum that covers both theoretical knowledge and practical application.
  • Immediate Application: Gain skills and strategies that you can apply immediately to improve your clients' movement and performance.
