COURSE OUTLINE
THE BIOMECHANICS METHOD CORRECTIVE EXERCISE SPECIALIST
The Fundamentals of Structural Assessment: Module 1
The Fundamentals of Structural Assessment is the first of the five learning modules that must be successfully completed in order to gain TBMM-CES status. This learning module teaches you a step-by-step process for conducting musculoskeletal assessments to help you identify common musculoskeletal imbalances that can cause muscle dysfunction, joint discomfort and movement limitations. You will learn verbal, visual, and hands-on techniques for assessing the feet and ankles, knees, lumbo-pelvic hip girdle, thoracic spine and shoulder girdle, and the neck and head. You will also learn how imbalances in one area of the body can cause problems in other areas.
Understanding Muscles and Movement: Module 2
This learning module explains in easy-to-understand terms how the whole body moves together as an integrated series of muscles, tendons, bones, ligaments, and fascia; information that is essential for understanding the root causes of musculoskeletal imbalances. It will teach you about major muscle groups in detail, as well as specific muscle origins, insertions, and functions. You will also discover 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 effective corrective exercise programs.
The Fundamentals of Corrective Exercise: Module 3
This learning module builds upon the knowledge and skills learned in Modules 1 and 2, and introduces you to the most effective types of exercises for eliminating lower back, hip, shoulder, knee, neck, foot, and ankle dysfunction caused by common musculoskeletal imbalances. You will learn about self-myofascial release techniques that will enable you to alleviate restrictions in muscles and fascia, stretching exercises to help increase a client’s mobility and range of movement, and strengthening exercises to help people begin to move correctly and without limitations. You will also learn valuable strategies for regressing exercises when necessary, and then progressing exercises as your client’s abilities improve. Specific contraindications included for each exercise type ensure safety and effectiveness.
The Complete Corrective Exercise Library: Module 4
This learning module contains an extensive library of the most effective corrective exercises for addressing common musculoskeletal imbalances that can cause pain and movement limitations. It includes details, explanations and demonstrations for almost 200 self-myofascial, stretching and strengthening exercises (including progressions, regressions and alternatives). You will learn the fundamental principles of each corrective exercise category and the key teaching tips for every exercise. This comprehensive collection of techniques serves as an exercise guide to help you to create programs that are most appropriate for your clients’ needs.
Corrective Exercise Program Design: Module 5
This learning module guides you through the corrective exercise program design process from start to finish, teaching you how to develop and use effective communication strategies when working with clients that have corrective exercise needs. Real-life case studies featuring actual clients demonstrate the step-by-step nature of The BioMechanics Method process. In addition to tying together the skills obtained in Modules 1-4 of The BioMechanics Method Corrective Exercise Specialist (TBMM-CES) course, this final learning module focuses on developing client communication skills, and allied networking and referral strategies so you can apply your skills within your scope of practice in the real world.

Testimonials
“Everything about this course is awesome. I am certified as a personal trainer / Health coach and Pilates instructor. This course covers everything for anyone who is in the fitness field…Very well done. I highly recommend this for Pilates instructors as we do the postural assessment with clients at the beginning of their program. Muscular imbalances are huge for the Pilates work. I agree too with Personal Training, but more so for Pilates. I enjoyed the Health coaching tips a great personal touch and building rapport. Plus you were so awesome for e-mailing when I had questions. I am a visual learner so I loved the videos as well….I would not change anything about this course– AWESOME…I could not put it down–I was excited to see what came next. And its one of the best courses I have taken! Thanks for sharing your knowledge for all of us to learn. Love it!! And will enjoy applying it.”
“I was a bit put off doing any study because of a bad experience with another online company. Justin has made this course easy to take in and made it interesting from start to finish. I could not wait to start the next module of the course to see what I was going to learn next. I have learned so much about how the body works and how it can break down easily and how simple it can come back together again through some simple exercises and getting the body to work as 1 unit. Amazing.”
“The BioMechanics Method is a well thought out and extremely structured education and training program. It takes anatomy and principles of muscle movement and puts it in an easy to understand format. I feel as if I finally have a complete grasp of muscles and their real life movements and how they really function as the body moves. This has helped me immensely in training my clients and helping to correct imbalances they may have. Having this certification has made me more knowledgeable, and has increased my personal training business.”
