Course Overview

Our comprehensive Diploma in Biomechanics Coaching designed to empower movement practitioners, strength coaches, personal trainers, and manual therapists. In a crowded landscape of movement assessment programmes, our approach stands out for its simplicity and evidence-based methodology, aimed at both identifying risks and optimizing performance in clients. Drawing from over 20 years of data collection involving thousands of subjects, including elite athletes and gym-goers, our system integrates various skills into a cohesive framework. While rooted in physiotherapy, our focus shifts towards assessing movement quality rather than diagnostics. Rigorous testing, including comparisons with isokinetic machines, has shown up to 97% accuracy in identifying bodily conditions. Through our programme, you’ll gain the skills to assess your clients’ bodies systematically, pinpoint areas of risk, and enhance movement quality.

What is Biomechanics Coaching?
Biomechanics is defined as mechanics applied to biology, and mechanics itself is the response of bodies to forces or displacements (ScienceDirect). Using an evidence-based system of screening and PREhabilitation exercise programme, Biomechanics Coaches can help mitigate the injury risk of our athletes and clients. We have shifted the paradigm to create a system that is modular and applicable to all other forms of exercise prescription.
