At the conclusion of the course, participants will be able to:

1.Be able to identify what proper form would look like for a squat, deadlift as well as power clean;
2.Participants will be able to identify common compensations as well as break down in technique to allow for specific treatments for improved mechanics;
3.The course will review anatomy at specific joints in how it relates to movement patterns;
4.Participants will gain knowledge for how specific deficits in joint mobility, muscular imbalances/hypertonicity and weakness effect power clean technique and performance;
5.Individuals taking the course will review exercises to help improve deficits at different joints to allow for improved mechanics;
6.Attendees will be able to perform proper lifting technique in order to allow for improved education and biomechanics adjustments for their patients.
