Building on the strong foundation established in AMT Level 1, this course will teach you advanced assessment and treatment techniques that are sure to take your outcomes to new heights. Say goodbye to plateaued progress and hello to exciting breakthroughs with our Level 2 course.
Continue to build on the organized framework created in level 1 and integrate more Advanced assessment and treatment Techniques to further enhance higher level outcomes for your more advanced clients.
Moving through the neurodevelopmental model of human movement, you will start to realize the greater importance the neurological system and how it was developed and organized for the primary purpose of survival has on movement performance and pain.
Approaching orthopedic injuries and pain through this neurological lens will provide greater clarity on the cause and solution to helping the most complex client presentations.
The use of functional and mechanical neurological assessment and the integration of it into your orthopedic practice will set you apart from your peers and move your knowledge in the space decades ahead of the traditional paradigm. Once you see the human body this way, you cannot unsee it and you will wonder how you have been treating and training your clients before without it.
Level 2 is built around the top-down control perspective of human function and provides a systematic and easy-to-apply approach with the use of innovative assessment tools that integrate the information into your practice more effectively and treat every individual client with greater precision.
The specialized movement and muscle testing (Kinetic Chain Muscle Testing, DSPT) that is only available in this certification, will help you see how the body is connected and communicates through the kinetic chains and meridians providing the AMT clinician more precise guidance on exercise selection and application.
You will develop greater confidence in movement analysis and understand how to break complex patterns down into its prerequisites and rebuild them more effectively.
Your new enhanced ability to teach clients complex patterns and various performance tools will take their rehabilitation/performance goals well past their former expectations and leave your practice with raving 5 star reviews!
A detailed understanding and application of Functional Neurology through the top-down movement control influences of the cerebellum, visual, vestibular and proprioceptive systems that provides greater insight past the physical presentation of injury and pain.
An in-depth look at how balance and the vestibular system can be dysfunctional in many of your clients that are not necessarily from a mechanical nature but a functional/connectivity dysfunction and how to retrain and reconnect this system with the cerebellum.
A complete assessment and treatment algorithm is provided when diving into this form of neurological assessment to remove the complexity and confusion out of what needs to be addressed first and in which order.
A greater understanding and knowledge in human performance and functional anatomy is applied through the connection of standard human movement, directional stability and the kinetic chains that brings greater light to movement abnormalities that are observed.
A method to assess and re-train the primitive survival reflexes and understand their importance on the hierarchy of basic survival that could be contributing to pain and movement disorders.
The motivated client not only wants to know the WHY for their pain, but they want to know WHAT is the best solution for them so they can perform at their highest potential.
Having the confidence and skill application to teach them how to use the tools of the trade (kettlebells, barbells, bodyweight, etc) and movement performance principles effectively will set you apart as the clinician that gets your clients to 100% of their goals and potential making you the GO TO professional that gets people there when others failed to do so.
