This course explores how the brain learns new skills and which environments best enable a participant to learn new movements.
This method is used as the foundation for teaching all types of movement tools such as SUFSET, Pilates Studio Training, Suspension, Vertical and Incline Training for Rehab Professionals as well as Movement Trainers in the Fitness Industry who are focusing on Functional Movement Training. This method has been used by Physiotherapy practices in New Zealand, South Africa and Australia.
