Overview

About Your Instructor

Dr. Michael Mash

PT, DPT, CSCS, SFMA, FMS, Cert. TMM

Hi, I’m Michael, founder of Barbell Rehab.

If you’ve landed on this page, I’m glad you’re here.

There are a lot of people out there who need your help. Too often, people with minor aches and pains are told to stop lifting or pushed toward unnecessary procedures that keep them out of the gym for months.

I want to help you change that.

This course won’t just teach you how to work with people experiencing pain or mobility limitations. It will help you empower them to keep training, build confidence, and live stronger, healthier lives.

What We Cover

Course Modules

MODULE 1

Principles of Training and Rehab

In this module, we discuss the principles of load management, pain science, rehab and performance programming, and how to optimize mindset on returning to baseline after an injury.

MODULE 2

Training and Modifying the Squat

Here we dig deep into optimizing squat form, variation selection, and what to do when pain arises. Everyone squats differently. Here's where you learn why.

MODULE 3

Optimize the Bench Press for Health and Performance

Many people complain of shoulder pain during the bench press. Here, we talk about how to optimize and modify this lift to reduce shoulder pain and increase performance.

MODULE 4

Deadlift Form, Variations, and Common Issues

Many people avoid the deadlift because of back pain. In this module, you'll learn how to optimize form and modify it based on anatomy, personal preference, and injury history.

MODULE 5

Overhead Lifting and Shoulder Health

Many people avoid pressing overhead in fear that it will cause shoulder pain or due to current discomfort. Here we talk about how to optimize overhead lifting and how we use it to promote shoulder health.

The Barbell Rehab Method Certification is a 2-day LIVE certification event that we are teaching at various gyms throughout the United States in 2021 onward. This 15 hour live course contains all of the information provided in this online course, but goes more in-depth and adds more information about lunges, vertical and horizontal pulling modifications, accessory work, and programming compared to this online course.

The choice between signing up for this online course vs. a live certification event will come down to a few things: If you prefer a more succinct and less expensive course or are someone who is located outside of the United States, then we'd recommend this online course. If, instead, you prefer to learn live instead of online, want an even deeper understanding of our material and methods, enjoy hands-on practical sessions, and are located in the United States, then we'd recommend signing up for a live Barbell Rehab Method Certification Event.
