Physical Therapy and Health Professional Trainings

These seminars are intended to educate the health and exercise professional, with regularly up-dated evidence, on the epidemiology, pathology and sequelae of osteoporosis. The Meeks Method, a comprehensive 12-point approach to the physical therapy management of patients with osteoporosis, is an evidence-based, SAFE and therapeutic movement program adaptable to all levels of care and all age groups. Learning to move from the bones , and with safety and therapeutic intent for the bones as the focus of movement, will change both the way YOU move and the way you teach others to move.

These seminars are designed primarily for the physical therapist and physical therapist assistant; however, the information in these (Level 1 and Level 2) seminars is also highly applicable to occupational therapists, certified occupational therapist assistants, other medical and degreed exercise professionals. Level 3 is limited to P.T.'s only.

Yoga Seminars

Focusing on the physical practice of Yoga (Asana,) with classical Yoga postures, these experiential seminars, which are intended for the educaiton of Yoga teachers, health and exercise professionals, emphasize safety and bone strengthening for persons with osteoporosis. Learning to move from the bones and with a focus on safety for the bones brings a new dimension into Yoga practice that will profoundly change the way you move and the way you teach others to move.

Pilates Seminars

These seminars are intended to educate Pilates Instructors, health and exercise professionals on SAFETY and therapeutic intent in Pilates practice. Learning to move from the bones with principles of movement and alignment that emphasize an elongated spine during Meeks Prep, mat, and apparatus work will add an element of safety and core strengthening as never before.
