Shoulder Active and Passive Range of Motion
Simple screening tests to determine the possibility of Cervical (neck) involvement.
Strength tests for Rotator Cuff and Scapular Stability.
Thoracic Mobility
PHYSIOTHERAPY & REHAB PRACTICALS (Ryan Tan & Chris Tang)
PART 3: FUNCTIONAL ANATOMY
Review key principles and theories that you should consider when designing a bespoke training program.
Action vs Function - what’s the difference?
Shoulder Stability - how do we define it, and why is it important?
Knowing the role of the rotator cuff, and when does a tear become significant?

ELEVATE YOUR SERVICE

At Discite, we’re changing how education is delivered.
Meet the team behind Discites
Ryan (Physiotherapist), and Chris (Rehab Specialist) have been in the health and fitness industry for over a decade.
They noticed a huge gap in the healthcare space where
Trainers lacked the confidence when it came to training clients who had an injury, often resorting to complete rest or avoidance of that body part.
Physio’s and other allied health professionals lacked confidence on the gym floor, meaning their clients were falling short of their full potential.
Passionate to help uplift colleagues in our industry, they created Discites to provide unique education for Personal Trainers, Coaches, and Health Professionals that aims to deepen their knowledge of human anatomy, building their confidence to bridge the gap between injury and performance.
-
An experienced Physiotherapist, Clinical Mentor and Founder of Physiologic, Ryan knows a thing or two about the body.
Ryan’s expertise lie in blending his Physiotherapy skillset with accelerated rehabilitation protocols, getting his clients in the gym ASAP, achieving goals they once thought impossible.
Personal trainers make up the bulk of his contact list and IG feed, and he loves diving into the theory behind different training methodologies, experimenting them with his own clients.
-
Chris is passionate about rehab and prehab from his own experiences. Having chronic back pain that no one could help with, he realised there was a lack of knowledge in the anatomy. He began his quest to learn/study and actively read as much as he could get his hands on. In the seminar he will be sharing information distilled from over 7 years of rehab experience and over 10 years of PT knowledge.

Unlocking a new layer of knowledge is the key to becoming a stand out coach, and it’s achievable with our immersion program that supports you inside and out of the classroom.
WHAT YOUR PEERS HAVE TO SAY

The problem with most upskill courses:
Jammed packed with content over your weekend, leaving you feeling overwhelmed and exhausted.
Teaches general methods, without consideration into client injuries or restrictions.
Single discipline teacher, only giving you ‘one size fits all solutions’
Huge course cohort where you’re just filling up a seat, not getting your questions answered.
Lack of support after completing the course, leaving you to figure it all out on your own.

Learn some common Physio assessment techniques & clinical reasoning to help problem solve and guide program design.
Learn what to observe in movement to ensure that your client is engaging the correct muscles.
How to design a program that targets the root cause of injury, while still making sure your clients achieve their fitness goals.
Learn our criteria to determine when you can gradually return your client back to their chosen sport or training program.
Small group (8) workshop for an optimal learning environment. (1:4 Teacher to Student ratio)
