SUMMARY:MovNat Medical: Clinical Applications of Natural Movement - Antwerp\, Belgium
DESCRIPTION:This course is for practicing medical professionals (e.g. physical therapists\, chiropractors\, athletic trainers\, nurses\, etc.) \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMovNat Medical is the most complete and fundamental movement course for practicing medical clinicians available\, anywhere. Learn how to teach\, integrate\, and progress Natural Movement into your treatment plan of care with a focus beyond healing and into the realm of restoring full function as a human being – not just a diagnosis. If you are serious about teaching integrated movement instead of only isolated “exercises” to your patients\, this course will give you a deep dive into why Natural Movement is trusted by health professionals all around the world. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDescription\n\n\n\nThis course is truly unique in that it teaches how to integrate Natural Movement applications in a medical/clinical treatment plan. We will teach you how to use Natural Movement training to treat clinical pathologies\, covering the musculoskeletal\, neuromuscular\, and cardiopulmonary patient as well as psychosocial impacts of movement. Most importantly\, you will learn how to think and talk about movement as a medical professional. You’ll learn that it has a specific language\, foundations\, and progressions that are not taught in medical school. We’ll teach you how to safely and progressively rebuild the movement capability of your patients from the ground up. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nWho is this course for?\n\n\n\nThis course is specifically geared toward licensed medical professionals\, including but not limited to Doctors of Physical Therapy\, Chiropractic\, Osteopathy and other professionals that treat movement disorders (e.g. Athletic Trainers\, Nurses\, etc.). \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOverview of what the MovNat Medical course will cover:\n\n\n\nThe MovNat Method has two very important elements: education and real life clinical application. MovNat has never been (and never will be) a one-size fits all philosophy. Knowing how to integrate the skills into your patients’ care plans is instrumental in the success of your patient outcomes\, and this is obvious in its global use in the clinics. \n\n\n\nThis course is all about the basics. We show you something that is very rarely taught well in school: how movements are broken down\, how to teach them to your patients\, and most importantly\, how and why to use each skill. We start with the essentials that everybody needs: Ground Movement\, Crawling\, Deep Squats\, Get Ups and Get Downs\, Hanging\, and Balance. You will be able to integrate these skills into each and every patient’s plan of care\, bringing more excitement and interest to their program. You don’t have to worry about compliance because natural movements are already part of their day and evolutionary biology. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis MovNat Medical course is very hands-on and focuses on clinical reasoning and decision making – all the way. We don’t just tell you\, we show you. And then you show us and you teach us. This is the only way to really learn how to teach movement. Before you show up\, you’ll be expected to have absorbed the study materials. You will be provided with a detailed course manual and video library covering all the movements and concepts we will be discussing at the course. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDetails of what the MovNat Medical Course will cover:\n\n\n\nDay 1: Introduction to the MovNat Method \n\n\n\n\nKey MovNat Principles\n\n\n\nHow to identify inefficiencies within pathologies & breakdowns in techniques\n\n\n\nOverview and deconstruction of Natural Movement skills\, using the MovNat Formation of Technique model\n\nGround Movement\n\n\n\nGet Ups (and Get Downs)\n\n\n\nCrawling\n\n\n\nGait Skills (Walking\, Balancing\, etc.)\n\n\n\nLifting & Carrying Skills\n\n\n\nJumping & Climbing Skills\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDay 2: Clinical Applications of Natural Movement \n\n\n\n\nThe symbiotic relationship when you combine Manual Therapy with Movement practice\n\nSpinal mobs: ground mobility\, get ups\, lifting\, hanging\n\n\n\nShoulder mobs: hanging\n\n\n\nAnkle mobs: ground mobility\, deep squats and get ups\n\n\n\nHip mobs: ground mobility\, deep squats\, get ups\n\n\n\nMulligan mobilization with movement\n\n\n\n\n\nPatient testing and evaluation\n\nGround mobility\n\n\n\nTransitions\n\n\n\nHanging\n\n\n\nCarrying\n\n\n\nBalance\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMeet the MovNat Medical Advisory Board\n\n\n\nThe brightest minds in the industry helped us develop this new program.\n\n\n\n\nDr. Jenny Ploss\, PT\, DPT\, MovNat Team Instructor\n\n\n\nDr. Steve Politis\, PT\, DPT\, FAFS\, FAAOMPT\, MCT\n\n\n\nElisabeth Pinheiro\, PT\, MCT\n\n\n\nDr. Bryan Lynd\, PT\, DPT\, TPI CGFI\, MCT\n\n\n\nTim Barnett\, PT\, DPT\, OCS\, MCT\n\n\n\nDr. Thomas Berkery\, PT\, DPT\, MCT\n\n\n\nDr. Ryan Peeters \, PT\, DPT\, MCT\, SFMA\n\n\n\nDr. Thomas Payen\, DO\n\n\n\nDr. Chad Garvey\, PT\, DPT\, OCS\, FAAOMPT\, CSCS   \n\n\n\nDr. Robert Newhalfen\, DC\, DNSP\, DNSET\, GRIP\n\n\n\nTami Dick\, PT\, CSCS\, MCT\n\n\n\nEdward Paget BOst\, FAFS\n\n\n\nEric Lazar\, PT\, MCT\n\n\n\nZachary Pereira\, MSPT\, OCS\, MCT\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMeet Your Instructor\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDr. Phil Lombardo\, PT\, DPT\, SCS\, CSCS\, PES\, CES\, NFHS\, USATF\, MCT\, EMRT \n\n\n\nDr. Phil Lombardo is the curriculum director of the MovNat Medical course\, which he developed with the help of an international board of advisors from diverse medical professions. Phil has extensive experience in the care of both sports injuries and general musculoskeletal injuries for patients of all ages. He is the Clinic Manager and Vice President of The New Jersey Centers of Physical Therapy\, the largest privately owned PT practice in NJ. \n\n\n\nIn 2007\, Phil joined the top one percent of the Doctors of Physical Therapy in the country by becoming an APTA Board Certified Specialist in Sports (SCS). He is also a Level 2 MovNat Certified Trainer and has participated in all of the MovNat Certifications. Dr. Lombardo has integrated his MovNat practice into the clinical setting from day one and has also participated in teaching several MovNat Elements Workshops and Level 1 & 2 Certifications. He has also taught at Columbia University\, Dominican College\, as well as numerous continuing education courses and speaking engagements at dozens of local high schools. \n\n\n\nPhil’s expert knowledge and experience as a Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT)\, a MovNat Certified Trainer (MCT)\, a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist (CSCS)\, a Sports Performance Enhancement Specialist (PES)\, and a Certified Corrective Exercise Specialist (CES) has distinguished him as a provider of choice in Sports Medicine and makes him uniquely qualified to develop and teach this MovNat Medical course. \n\n\n\nPhil says\, “Imagine spiraling uncontrollably downward\, unsure of what our future holds or how to help ourselves. Through this informative course\, MovNat gives you a clear map to help wake up and see a clear path to give patients the answers they’re looking for. What better way to connect with and provide care for our patients than manual therapy combined with instinctual\, evolutionary movement patterns. We have to acknowledge that isolated t-band exercises just don’t cut it and we need to do more to meet the needs of beautifully complex human beings. The ability to combine manual joint mobilizations with the foundations of Natural Movement is pure GOLD!” \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTestimonials\n\n\n\n(from medical professionals who really dig MovNat)\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“I found MovNat out of a love for functional movement on a personal level. After becoming certified as a trainer\, I quickly realized that MovNat can and should be applied in a clinical setting as well. I’ve been able to apply the terminology and movement regressions/progressions with a diverse population. It has also taught me that sometimes the most effective exercises require no equipment at all\, and that every body is capable of tapping into their natural movement skills\, when given the right coaching. This physical education system is exactly what PT school is missing!” – Dr. Bryan Lynd\, PT\, DPT\, TPI CGFI\, MCT \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“Our jobs as physical therapists are to develop programs which are progressive\, beginning at the client’s current level and progressing\, ideally\, to functional movements they use in daily life and for recreational activities…If you’re a physical therapist and have been considering getting certified\, I can say with confidence that you won’t regret it. Your repertoire of functional exercises will increase immensely\, and you will have access to many more movements that are motivating and engaging. Exercises your patients will DO\, because they can measure and feel their own improvement.“– Dr. Jenny Ploss\, PT\, DPT\, Level 2 MovNat Certified Trainer \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“I have a clinical doctorate in physical therapy\, and I specialize in orthopedics. I think many of my patients need more specific instructions like what the MovNat course teaches when they are re-learning skills or learning to be more efficient. I have also incorporated various unique MovNat exercises to my patients’ therapy to keep them engaged and learn to move more efficiently and safely. This applies to all ages and all diagnoses. I have gained more tools in my toolbox as a physical therapist to help my patients and athletes recover from injuries and prevent future injury.” – Dr. Aika Yoshida\, DPT \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“I am now more confident and able to understand how to take MovNat skills and bring them into my clinic in order to help my patients. This course should be taught in PT schools across the world. If anyone proclaims to be in the movement profession and to know how movement helps to restore health\, this course should be mandatory. I have finally bridged the gap between the MovNat method and clinical application. Applying the MovNat method skillfully to the clinical population will be ground-breaking in the area of rehabilitation.” – Nick Burroughs\, Physiotherapist\, Level 3 MovNat Trainer \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSchedule & Location\n\n\n\nSaturday\, May 20\, 2023: 8am-5pmSunday\, May 21\, 2023: 8am-5pm \n\n\n\n*These times are subject to change. You will receive confirmation from your instructor prior to the event. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPlease join us!\n\n\n\nMovNat is the official world leader in Natural Movement® Fitness.  \n\n\n\nOver the last twelve years\, we have coached and certified thousands of professionals\, opened dozens of MovNat licensed facilities\, and consulted with some of today’s brightest minds including doctors\, movement educators\, professional athletes\, and elite special forces. Our work has been featured in world-renowned publications\, and is being implemented in health clubs\, physical therapy clinics\, and school districts all around the world. \n\n\n\nThe MovNat Medical course provides a deep dive into the “missing link” in modern health care: Natural Movement.

SUMMARY:2 Day Ground Movement Workshop: Berlin\, Germany
DESCRIPTION:Fundamental human movement meets the magic of flows in this unique 2-day Natural Ground Movement workshop. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhat is the Ground Movement Workshop?\n\n\n\nThis unique Ground Movement Workshop is based on the science around the Neuro-Development Sequence. This is how human beings have learned to move since birth but also at any age and for any level of athletic performance. The movements we learn in early childhood build the foundations of a balanced body\, mind and soul well into adolescence and adulthood. \n\n\n\nBy taking you down to the floor (supine\, prone\, quadrupedal\, sitting\, kneeling\, and getting up)\, this 2-day workshop will teach – or re-teach – you the skills that came with your exploration of the world in your early years\, helping you to unlock long-lost movements. \n\n\n\nEnjoy the integration of movement theory and practice through Natural Ground Movement positions\, transitions\, and improvisational and playful flows! \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhat will you do in this workshop?\n\n\n\n\nLearn the basic structure of the Neurodevelopmental Sequence\, including positions\, transitions & breathing.\n\n\n\nApply these principles to adult fitness training through natural ground movement flows and get-ups.\n\n\n\nDiscuss how to integrate these principles into areas of healthcare\, health management\, natural movement skill development (MovNat)\, and injury prevention & rehabilitation.\n\n\n\n\nWhat is the science behind the workshop?\n\n\n\nGround Movement is based on skills that enable the development of the higher levels of locomotion such as walking\, running and jumping that we all take for granted today\, but are mostly lost through a sedentary lifestyle\, the emphasis of safety over risk taking and the human separation from his internal and external nature.  \n\n\n\nThanks to our modern lifestyle\, we increasingly lose the basic conditions\, patterns and capacity to perform fundamental movements such as rolling\, crawling\, squatting\, and even breathing. \n\n\n\nUnderstanding this instinctive behavior of Human Natural Movement offers enormous potential for reestablishing lost fundamental conditions like mobility\, stability\, patterns\, strength\, movement and neuroplasticity.  \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBernd Reicheneder\, MovNat Team Instructor & Master Trainer\n\n\n\nMeet the Instructor\n\n\n\nI’ve always been busy and adventurous. Exploring and playing in nature is part of my village culture and upbringing. Sport & fitness became an integral part of my life from childhood on. \n\n\n\nI began practicing Shotokan karate seriously at a young age and practiced actively for over 20 years\, because I loved the deep philosophy and the enhanced techniques of this extremely aesthetic martial art. \n\n\n\nAfter successfully completing a Diploma in Sports Science in 2005 and a Magister Artium in Classical Archeology in 2010\, I worked in the classic fitness industry and in company sports for various companies in Germany. \n\n\n\nI grew more specialized in the direction of movement screening\, function and movement restoration. During the intensive work with Muscle Function Diagnostics and the Functional Movement Screen\, I looked for ways to individually determine the movement and posture problems of my customers through testing and to restore them with targeted mobility\, strength and movement training. \n\n\n\nAfter I got to know Vic Verdier\, the right hand man of MovNat founder Erwan Le Corre\, at a MovNat workshop in Berlin in 2011\, I intuitively decided to focus all of my work on MovNat and similar methods for restoring the evolutionary-biological needs of humans to crown my previous work with MovNat. It became clear very quickly. The transfer of knowledge about therapy\, restoration and maintenance of the independent and natural health of people. In this area\, I am considered a pioneer of Natural Movement in Europe. \n\n\n\nCredentials: \n\n\n\n\nUniversity Degree in Sports Science\n\n\n\nUniversity Degree in Classical Archaeology\n\n\n\n2.
