ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
To ensure that you learn and perform Spiral Stabilization exercises correctly, I will examine, correct and provide feedback for the duration of the course. You will be given tasks to complete at home. The tasks/homework – record a series of videos performing Spiral Stabilization exercises and working with a client.
All course attendees will receive a CPD certificate after completion of the course and their homework, allowing them to use the method in their respective practices.
Please ensure that you wear suitable clothing to enable you to perform the practical part of the course comfortably. Female course attendees are advised to wear a sports bra.
I advise all course attendees to have professional liability insurance to cover them for the practical part of the course.
