  • The Intensive – Why You Should Draw Out Your Models

    The Intensive – Why You Should Draw Out Your Models

    Humans are complex adaptive systems.

    While we know a few things about ourselves, our complexity makes it impossible to understand ourselves and others as well as we would like.

    In such situations, a model provides us with the guidance that we need to successfully interact with clients, athletes, and patients to produce the desired outcome.

    In some cases, it’s to eliminate a painful condition. In others, it’s to improve performance in a sport or in the gym. The better your model, the more likely your success.

    It’s an evolutionary process.

    Drawing it out is a key to making your model more successful.

  • How Long Will I Need To Do My Physical Therapy Exercises?

    How Long Will I Need To Do My Physical Therapy Exercises?

    Client question: How long will I need to do my physical therapy exercises?

    Just like your exercise prescription, the answer to this question is individualized to you.

    YOU have specific exercise needs.

    YOU have a certain lifestyle, physical activities, and work duties.

    YOU need an indiviualized plan that leads to long-term success.

  • Coaching Conversation with Jon Herting

    Coaching Conversation with Jon Herting

    Jon has evolved his treatment with the addition of concepts learned all the way back at The Intensive I with great success.

    In this case study, Jon and I talk about how you can treat the person vs. trying to treat a diagnosis with a successful outcome. Even when the client has been treated by several other practitioners and methods or given a specific diagnosis it is recognizing what the patient needs and providing that through a more effective treatment model.

  • Updated: Application for The Intensive VIII is open (application for The Intensive IX is closed)

    Updated: Application for The Intensive VIII is open (application for The Intensive IX is closed)

    Are you ready for round VIII and IX?

    I’m trying something a little different by announcing the next two together.

    Each one is unique as the curriculum is driven by the attendees.

    Only 8 professionals will be selected from the application process for each opportunity. Without question, keeping it small maximizes the benefits to the attendees

    Several attendees have applied multiple times. Not everyone is ready right away. Sometimes you need to struggle, learn, and grow before you get to attend. It’s not about your resumé. It’s about being a thinker.

    The When and Where

    The Intensive VII (The Ocho) is October 10-13th (and Casa de Hartman) in Indianapolis, Indiana. We start at 8 pm on Thursday the 10th (unless you can make dinner at 6:30 at my favorite Mexican restaurant). We go until Sunday, October 13th at about noon. When we get hungry, we eat. When we get tired, we sleep.

    The Intensive IX is November 14-17th (and Casa de Hartman) in Indianapolis, Indiana. We start at 8 pm on Thursday the 14th (unless you can make dinner at 6:30 at my favorite Mexican restaurant). We go until Sunday, October 17th at about noon. When we get hungry, we eat. When we get tired, we sleep.

    The Who

    Up to eight (8) professionals (It is NOT for students) who:

    Are comfortable with contributing ideas, asking, and answering questions.

    Have an understanding of foundational movement-based anatomy and exercise/training concepts.

    Want to challenge and help other professionals improve.

    Understand the value of a coach and seek a learning network of individuals with common concerns, interests, and goals but different backgrounds.

    Selfishly, it’s for me. I enjoy what I do, and I enjoy sharing ideas and interacting with bright, motivated people from whom I too can learn.

    The What

    A fun, open, engaging, and challenging environment

    Guided, focused effort over three days

    Develop a principles-based approach

    Examining a model of human movement from micro to macro

    Assessment processes from a passive to a dynamic environment

    Cuing, coaching, decision-making, intervention strategies, and programming

    Ongoing discussion and conversation over dinner at Casa de Hartman

    Enhance and evolve your personal information capture and learning system

    Share knowledge as part of an ongoing professional network

    Follow-up mentorship to assure ongoing progress

    Train at IFAST

    The eight individuals will be selected via the application process as quickly as possible. Selected attendees will be notified of acceptance by September 12th for The Intensive VIII and by October 9th for The Intensive IX. If you are not notified by that date, you have not been selected. We get many great applications but we must limit attendance to provide the best possible experience.

    How Much?

    It is $699 to attend in addition to your travel expenses. Your food is taken care of.

    Application for The Intensive VII and IX is closed.
