Course Description:
Grand Rounds - See LIVE cases with problem-solving and the reasoning process.
First principles thinking boils a process down to the fundamental parts you know
are true and build up from there.
Over 2000 years ago, Aristotle defined a first principle as "the first basis from which
a thing is known."
When faced with complex problems, we default to thinking like everybody else.
First principles thinking is a powerful way to help you break out of this herd mentality, think outside the box, and ultimately innovate brand new solutions to familiar problems."
Elon Musk, the founder and CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, says there's a better way to innovate: start with a blank slate and use first principles.
The FPM (Precision Programming) concepts & philosophy are evidence-based & practical. They bridge the gap from research to practice to reduce injury risk, accelerate rehab, prevent chronicity, and enhance performance in the lifespan of health.
This knowledge translation occurs through our unique Lab Immersion Experience with interactive, live, problem-based, active learning presentations and hands-on evaluation and training exercises.
"Don't fall behind in your techniques. The methods should serve the goals." Dr. Karel Lewit
"Time spent in assessment will save time in treatment. The test is the exercise; the exercise is the test". Dr. Vladimir Janda
Course Learning Objectives:
Upon completing the course, the participant will:
Be able to combine different protocol systems & methods efficiently.
Be able to connect the dots from the client's story to an actionable program.
Understand why delaying General Physical Preparation (GPP) creates a slippery
slope.
Be able to find the sweet spot between "too little too late" & "too much too soon."
Be able to differentiate between Landmarks and Timelines.
Be able to use a complaint to devise an evaluation that results in a treatment protocol.
Be more confident and efficient using exercise to improve health and fitness outcomes.
Deploy Rep Maxes (RMs), Reps in Reserve (RIR), and RPE in exercise programming.
Develop a Coach's Eye (e.g., Talk Test, eccentric control, loss of concentric power)
Identifying overprotective client behaviors (excessive guarding, rigid movements,
etc.)
Use internal and external cueing.
Vary the environment or task to drive gains more efficiently.
Find the “Hardest thing you do well” nested to the person’s floor - the gap analysis.
