How the idea was born...


In April 2021, we taught our first Barbell Rehab Method Certification live course in State College, PA. Since then, we've taught over 150 of these courses all across the world and continue to teach ~50 a year as well!

 One hallmark of this course that we really take pride in is the diversity in the room. We truly believe that getting personal trainers, strength coaches, athletic trainers, and physical therapists all together, in the same room, is paramount in order to maximize client outcomes? Why? Because, for once, we can get everyone on the same page. We KNOW that interdisciplinary care and communication is paramount to client success and we are now seeing that happen in real time via feedback from our students.

While we continue to see massive success from the students of our live course, a lot of the clinicians who have gone through it have reached out to us asking "What's our next step?" This online course is the next step. 


Are you a clinician who feels comfortable coaching the barbell lifts but wants that next level deeper insight to help maximize your patient outcomes? This is for you.

Feel More Confident Treating Barbell Athletes

Image
Remember sitting through school learning about neck, back, shoulder, and hip pain and wondering how do I apply this knowledge to lifters?

That's what we want to help you do in this online course. We've arranged this in a way where, in the beginning, each module is broken up by body part. Think of it like school, but without all of the fluff and outdated evidence and old treatment strategies. Our instructors prepared these lectures based on the latest evidence (not what was "right" 10-20 years ago!)

By splitting the course up by body part, we then utilize case studies to show you how to comprehensively apply it to a barbell athlete. With this approach, you'll be able to answer questions like:

  1. What things should you focus on during the initial evaluation of a barbell athlete?
  2. How do you help a patient with cervical radiculopathy bench press, overhead press, and squat pain-free?
  3. How do you help a patient with acute low back pain and radiculopathy safely return to squats and deadlifts?
  4. How do you reintegrate the squat and deadlift for someone who is post-op ACL?
  5. What does the squat, deadlift, overhead press, and bench press prescription look like for someone dealing with rotator-cuff related shoulder pain?

This course is for healthcare professionals who want to gain a deeper understanding of evaluating and treating barbell athletes.

This includes Physical Therapists, PT Assistants, Chiropractors, Massage Therapists, Athletic Trainers, etc. Personal trainers and strength coaches are welcome to take this course as well, but a strong background in medical/healthcare terminology and rehabilitation principles is recommended.
