Gain The Tools You Need To Manage And Improve Your Arthritis Pain For The Rest Of Your Life
My courses are broken up into a series of educational discussions and active participation labs. In the discussions, you will learn the science behind knee and hip arthritis, movement patterns and retraining, and pain science, in clear and easily understandable terms. In the labs you will put that knowledge into action by performing the exercises you need to do to feel better. All sessions are followed by live Q&A to ensure you understand the material. The better you understand your body, the better you will feel.
Course Structure
This course will be delivered over a period of 6 weeks, with two live sessions per week. Each class will begin with approximately 20 minutes of educational discussion and then 40 minutes of active lab work. There will be ample time for Q&A after the class. You will have lifetime access to recordings of all classes in case you miss a class, or to refresh your knowledge and continue your work independently in the future.
All courses are backed with a 100% money-back guarantee, no questions asked up to the third week of classes.
