About Understanding Muscles and Movement

Understanding Muscles and Movement explains in easy-to-understand terms how the whole body moves together as an integrated system of muscles, tendons, bones, ligaments, and fascia; information essential for understanding the causes of problematic and limiting musculoskeletal imbalances. You will also learn the unique approach of The BioMechanics Method in regard to understanding how gravity and ground reaction forces change the way the body moves – knowledge that is imperative for designing successful corrective exercise strategies.

    Laura (ACE Certified Professional) – November 5, 2024

    I loved the material and appreciated how it was presented. I honestly wish each section was broken down a little smaller with more quizzes. I just learn better that way. I will definitely reference it again and continue to take courses through the biomechanics method though. (Verified review from ACE)

    Angie – November 27, 2023

    This is an excellent course on anatomy. Very interesting and easy to follow. The videos demonstrating how each muscle/muscle group works when people move and do common exercises were especially helpful. You will definitely know more than other trainers about the way muscles work after taking this course. (Verified review from ACE)

    Philip – September 21, 2023

    the understanding of eccentric muscle contractions and how they decelerate body parts was specific information of use to me

  10. Rated 5 out of 5

    Chad – July 26, 2023

    A fantastic course which helped me to understand the muscles and fascia involved in the bodies movement and how those muscles may be effected through overuse, misuse and injury. I am now able to better comprehend how my clients job, posture or exercise habits contribute to muscular imbalances and how those imbalances contribute to deficiencies in the rest of the kinetic chain. As a physical therapy patient I was able to contribute valuable insight into the rehabilitation of my knee. Highly recommended for all trainers. Invaluable course! (Verified review from ACE)
