1-day lecture workshop for Fitness & Movement Professionals that covers the common musculoskeletal pathologic conditions of the body, with an emphasis on application for fitness trainers and other movement professionals, including Pilates and yoga instructors.
Some of the conditions covered are:
- Bulging and herniated discs
