Beyond the Rotator Cuff: New Methods of Shoulder Health & Performance
Shoulder injuries are far more common than many would believe, especially compared to familiar issues like low back pain. However, research has explained, “After low back pain and knee pain, shoulder pain has been estimated to be the third most common musculoskeletal presentation in primary care”. The prognosis for people presenting with musculoskeletal shoulder pain varies widely between individuals with, on average, 50% of people with shoulder pain still reporting symptoms 6 months after presenting in primary care. In addition to pain, functional disabilities are common and can interfere with work, hobbies, social, and sporting activities and may also be associated with psychological distress and reduced quality of life. This session is designed to help coaches and therapists look beyond the old ideas of isolating muscles like the rotator cuff, EMG tests, and other muscles of the shoulder and use the most current research to better understand how to restore and train the shoulder for optimal health and performance.

Managing Pain Through Better Exercise and Movement Decisions
Are you making the right choice at the right time? First, you need the right information, and that comes from asking the right questions. In this session, Lee Burton and Gray Cook take exercise decisions back to the very basics of health and wellness. The future of health and fitness depends on our ability to measure wellness using functional standards. But how do we do that? Lee and Gray look at eight domains of wellness to properly answer the question “what should I work on today?” You will learn how to structure screening to focus on your (or your client’s) greatest opportunities in the domains of Breathing Quality, Sleep Quality, Nutritional Awareness, Movement Health, Behavioral Health, Physical Activity, Body Composition and Injury History. This holistic view, with the addition of the FMS-developed algorithm, will prevent you from getting the first step wrong when seeking any corrective actions or development endeavors.

The Foot and Ankle Complex is, for the most part, misunderstood. If not working well, the whole body will feel its effects and will not function properly.

This workshop will explain the nature and role of the foot and ankle complex to the function of the body.

The New Science of Low Back Pain
Even though low back pain is recognized as the MOST common musculoskeletal problem in the world, our ability to truly help people with low back pain has not proven to be very effective. About 75% of people with intense chronic low back pain report disability. We are missing the challenge of a low back pain being a multi-factorial problem. The new science of low back pain is showing us that the issue isn’t just core stability, mobility training, or many of our physical goals. Realizing that low back pain is related to an integrated model of physical, psychological, and social factors how should coaches now approach programs to address the complexity of low back pain? During this session Josh will break down the new science of low back pain solutions and how you can practically apply your training and educate clients to empower them to better results.

Frontal Plane Fundamentals: Lower Body Training
Athletic performance hinges on your ability to possess multi-directional strength and power.

This session sets out to shift that paradigm through sound training strategies, rationale and methods for immediate application.

Recovery & Regeneration: Promoting and Programming Recovery for Enhanced Performance
While the study and deployment of recovery and regeneration strategies goes back to the 1980’s, podcasts and social media have made cold plunges, saunas, and the likes commonplace. With these commonplace strategies also comes a misunderstanding surrounding the technicalities and nuances to the usage of these modalities. Furthermore, ambiguity prevails around recovery modalities and their associated prescription. From rock mats to breathing to cold plunges, understanding regeneration techniques, their purpose, and their application, will provide a better return of investment to the programming you employ for those you train.

• Consultant to many athletes, coaches, and teams on the development of multi-directional speed programs
Building a Multi-Directional Speed Program from Scratch
When building your speed development program there are very specific fundamentals and foundational principles that should be prioritized. An early stage of multi-directional speed development should be built around great habits of movement. These habits allow the progressions to seamlessly occur. Once athletes are in the “Reactive-Tier” phase of speed development they have proven to be proficient in multi-directional movement. The “Reactive-Tier” phase is a Decision-Making phase in which athletes no longer think about footwork- but rather how to accomplish a task as quickly as possible. Allow me to take you from Start to Finish when putting together your multi-directional speed program.

The 3 Secret Factors to Strong and Resilient Training & Rehab
Day in and day out, every coach and therapist is looking for way to be better in how they help other people. It’s always a great place to start with global perspectives that govern how we adapt, how we change, how we improve. Words like Mobility, Stability, Strength, Endurance are often the big words that we are always after. However, all of these goals have concepts that expand on the reasons and explanations how why they work and how we can make them even better. In this talk, Charlie will focus primarily on the soft tissues of the body - muscle, tendons, ligaments, nerves, vessels, and fascia. The 3 factors that are shared across all of these tissues are 1) Direction of Force, 2) Pressurization, and 3) Hydraulics. We will discuss these factors of physics in very practicals terms and demonstrations leading to how they enhance all of the adaptations these tissues are involved in. As always, Charlie’s messages are directed for both coaches and therapists working in situations of sport, generally population, rehab.
