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.

Unlocking Fat Loss: Training Strategies for the Body Composition Client
Obesity is at all all-time high. Over 70% of the US population is overweight and about 40% of those individuals are considered obese. So it’s not surprising that fat loss is the number one reason why most people join a gym -- or hire a trainer. It's clear as coaches we need to do a better job in helping people lose weight and keep it off. Unfortunately, most training certifications don’t teach program design strategies for fat loss. In this session, Alwyn will explain what the science and research tell us about fat loss. In the hands-on you’ll experience the real-world protocols that are proven to deliver fat loss results for your clients.

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.

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.

Connecting Assessment & Training with Skill
Our job as coaches is to prescribe training that will enhance an athlete’s ability to perform their skill/sport. One key component in this process is the ability to identify compensatory strategies within the assessment. While we have the best of intentions to improve upon these limitations, many times our training programs will unintentionally reinforce these compensatory strategies because we forget to link our assessment back to skill. In this lecture and hands on session, we will discuss an important universal principle that links skill to the assessment and training process.

The Power of Constraints in Rehab & Training
The concept of “constraints” in human movement and performance can take on several different meanings. Some of these can be limitations which need to be addressed and overcome for the client to make progress, while others are the judicious use of physical constraints to help improve movement capacity. There can be societal, psychological, and physical constraints influencing rehab and training programming, as well as session design and flow which may be limiting progress and outcomes. This lecture will discuss in depth some of these concepts and provide specific examples of ways to help recognize, address, and implement strategies to help overcome these obstacles. The hands-on session will discuss more specific ways to introduce physical constraints during rehab and training sessions to help dramatically improve smoother transitions between phases of a client’s program.

Stability is Movement Ability: The Qualities Your Athletes Are Missing to Become an Elite Mover
The best athletes in the world are distinguished by their exceptional movement capabilities so how you move is how you prove day in and day out. However, achieving elite movement goes beyond what we believe it to be. When athletes specialize in a particular sport, they gradually lose the diversity, systems, movement patterns, abilities and positions they either once possessed (or didn’t build at all) and now find themselves repeatedly performing the same motions over and over again. Coupled with a subpar training program, this can lead to an unstable foundation, risking poor performance and potential injury. It is crucial to understand how we can continuously nurture the fundamental movement patterns that define us as human beings first, athletes second. In this presentation and hands on session, you will learn how to expose, progress, and challenge your athletes within the “buckets of movement” they are missing from their training to ultimately upgrade their movement bandwidth, coordination, strength, preparation and on court efficiency to drastically improve performance and mitigate injury risk.

How To Create a Gym Culture (On Purpose)
"Culture" has quickly become a point of focus in the business world. While numerous definitions and descriptions exist for what constitutes "Culture," there is a noticeable lack of frameworks providing guidance on the "how-to" of constructing a culture that people can't stop talking about. Legendary Coach Bill Walsh once said, "The culture precedes positive results. It doesn’t get tacked on as an afterthought on your way to the victory stand. Champions behave like champions before they’re champions: they have a winning standard of performance before they are winners." This lecture will give you the tools you need to build a winning culture, on purpose. (Lecture Only)
Constraints Based Coaching

This is also known as “constraints-based coaching.” Help yourself be a better coach by using tools and positions as “assistant coaches.” This gives you more time to interact with your clients in ways that matter most.

The Secrets of Metabolic Training
Most people love the idea of metabolic training, yet most don’t even know what it is. Perhaps it’s because the name, in and of itself, doesn’t mean anything and it’s just the name. However, IHP assigned that name to a very specific style of training with more utility than meets the eye. In this presentation JC Santana will give you his definition of metabolic training, the reasons why that name was chosen, some of the obvious reasons for its implementation, and some not so obvious approaches to its utilization. Attendees will learn the physiological, psychological, spiritual adaptations that are brought by this exciting form of training, as well as take away some of the protocols used by thousands of IHP clients over the last 20 years! Get ready to be blown away by metabolic training, and its latest training adaptation, “Psychomotor Vigilance”. During the workshop portion of metabolic training the attendees with get to test-drive several of the protocols that have made the IHP Metabolic protocols the go-to training method for coaches from around the globe.

The X Factor in Creating Change
Our world is flooded with trainers, nutritionists, and an abundance of online resources dedicated to health and wellness, so it's puzzling that the number of overweight and obese individuals is on the rise. The solution doesn't lie in the scarcity of information or opportunities, but perhaps in our perspective on thoughts, actions, and memories shaping our behavior. Could the missing link be the mental, emotional, or spiritual aspects? This presentation explores the transformative potential of addressing these components to bring about genuine change. Join us as we delve into a more comprehensive approach in our training sessions, aiming to assist clients on a deeper level. Together, let's uncover the X-Factor in creating lasting and meaningful transformations. (Lecture Only)

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.
