Nick Tumminello – Movement Performance Assessment Online Certification

Nick Tumminello – Movement Performance Assessment Online CertificationGet Your Clients Training Safely, Quickly, And Effectively With The Only Assessment Designed Specifically For Personal TrainersAre you a personal trainer that’s learned all the movement assessments out there but feel like none of them work well for your clients?Do you struggle to know exactly which exercises are best for your new clients to get them started safely and without pain?Have you been looking for the perfect way to create client programs that improve their movement and get results without spending half the workout doing corrective exercises or warm-up drills?If so, it’s not your fault and help is on the way.The initial assessment is one of the most important factors when starting a new client or re-starting an old one. It sets the tone for your working relationship, reveals any pain or movement inabilities, and tells you exactly which exercises should make up the client’s first program.But there’s one big problem, most assessments out there right now don’t do a good job accomplishing all 3 of these outcomes. They fall short on at least one of the three and fail to serve trainers in a way that makes their job easier, not harder.Some get you hunting for all the things that are “wrong” with a client and encourage you to fix these with rehab exercises before training them hard, but this leaves clients bored and paranoid about being “broken.”Others might focus on identifying what exercises or movements clients can do but offer no clear direction on exactly which variation is best for their abilities or body type. You’ll have a place to start, but it won’t always be the best one.While we’ve come a long way in creating assessments to identify how clients move, we’ve yet to design one for trainers that’s simple to perform, quick to understand, and easy to use for designing initial client programs. At least until now.If you’re tired of piecing together multiple assessments, using too many drills and exercises to fix deficiencies, or not knowing exactly which exercises to use with clients right from the get-go, then the Movement Performance Assessment is designed specifically for you.The Movement Performance Assessment Includes:7 Movement Tests That Resemble Actual ExerciseSimple And Fast Testing ProceduresImmediate Feedback On Ideal Exercises For Clients16 Hours Of Continuing Education Credits The Movement Performance Assessment Will Teach You How To:Choose which exercises are right (and wrong) for each personDetermine the best lifting movements to use as a starting pointFind a safer and more individualized training directionFix faulty movements with a smarter movement prescription systemAssess on the fly in one-on-one or group settings12 Practical and Comprehensive Learning ModulesModule #1 – MPA Essentials1.1 Assessments vs. Screens: Do we have it backwards?1.2 It’s not about getting more data.
