About the Course

Kinesics Theory is a two-section course.

The Theory course advances your understanding of biomechanics, spinal mechanics, the role of postural muscles, and the role of fascia including fascial trains, planes, tracks and movement systems. By providing this multi-disciplinary approach, you gain a strong foundation in the education and communication of the body’s functional movement patterns and the associated human movement systems.
