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.
