What is the SFMA Level 2?
The SFMA Level 2 Course provides a systematic approach to efficiently use your SFMA findings to guide interventions - addressing both mobility and stability/motor control dysfunctions. It picks up where Level 1 left off with a focus on our 3 R's approach - Reset, Reinforce, and Retraining - to restore proper movement. The primary focus of Level 2 is to complete the local biomechanical examination process, but also to empower participants with confidence to successfully integrate motor control techniques into their clinical practice.
You will leave with a clearer understanding of treatment for Stability and/or Motor Control dysfunctions. Additionally, reset and reinforcement ideas will be discussed to allow the participant to gain a greater understanding of the clinical application of the model.
What to Expect at the Live Course
Most of the live SFMA course is spent in practical sessions. Participants are taught the assessment with demonstration and then given ample time to practice, with opportunities to ask questions as the material is covered. This framework ensures they are comfortable integrating the system immediately into their clinical practice.
Comfortable clothing you can move freely in is recommended.
