<h2>Are You Confused?</h2>
&nbsp;

<span style="font-weight: 400;">Have you been wondering what all this fuss is about Biomechanics Coaching</span><b>™</b><span style="font-weight: 400;">? Does it leave you feeling confused and wondering how on earth it can help you or your clients? Maybe you’re anxious that it is far too complex for you to apply within your PT sessions?</span>

&nbsp;

<span style="font-weight: 400;">Well, let me take you right back to the beginning….</span>

&nbsp;
<h3>Remedial Gymnastics</h3>
&nbsp;

<span style="font-weight: 400;">Ever heard of this profession?</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400;">No, I hadn’t either until  2006 when I met Martin Haines, a world leader in biomechanics and founder of the Intrinsic Biomechanics Method.</span>

&nbsp;

<span style="font-weight: 400;">A few years ago I decided to do some research into the origins of my profession and the skills I have taught for many years. The education programmes we deliver at Biomechanics Education all started with a profession called ‘Remedial Gymnastics’.</span>

&nbsp;

<span style="font-weight: 400;">What I found interesting was the definition of the role of a Remedial Gymnastics still to this day holds true to what we as Biomechanics Coaches™ do. </span>

&nbsp;

<i><span style="font-weight: 400;">Remedial Gymnastics is a special treatment method that involves the means of preventative physical training to accelerate patient’s working capacity and avoid consequences of the pathological process.</span></i>

&nbsp;

<span style="font-weight: 400;">Another definition I came across based on the understanding of this type of approach was:</span>

&nbsp;

<i><span style="font-weight: 400;">Uses movement as the basic means for the p</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;">urpose of prevention and correction. Correctly chosen and well-directed movements help faster and more successful restoration of impaired function of certain segments of the organism as a whole</span>

&nbsp;

<i><span style="font-weight: 400;">AIMS &amp; APPLICATION </span></i>

&nbsp;

<i><span style="font-weight: 400;">Increase in the scope of movement of the joint</span></i>

&nbsp;

<i><span style="font-weight: 400;">Increase in muscle power </span></i>

&nbsp;

<i><span style="font-weight: 400;">Maintenance and improvement in coordination of movement</span></i>

&nbsp;

<i><span style="font-weight: 400;">Rise in the speed of movement</span></i>

&nbsp;

<i><span style="font-weight: 400;">Improvement in general and local stamina</span></i>

&nbsp;

<i><span style="font-weight: 400;">By certain exercises a series of our objectives are realised: improvement of circulation, after transportation of energetic potential to feed tissues, improvement in metabolic and regeneration processes, reduction of pain, relaxation, psychological balance or such</span></i>

&nbsp;

<span style="font-weight: 400;">Founder of the Intrinsic Biomechanics method that we call Biomechanics Coaching™, Martin Haines, was originally a Remedial Gymnast before it merged with physiotherapy and he went on to become a chartered physiotherapist. </span>

&nbsp;

<span style="font-weight: 400;">He recognised the value in having BOTH, the Remedial Gymnastics and physiotherapy, methods combined available to individuals since many of the ‘injuries’ or low-grade non-specific problems people were experiencing did not require site-specific treatment but a more general means to overcome discomfort with the use of simple exercises. He recognised that should this type of problem go unaddressed for a period of time it may well result in a more severe condition then requiring the attention of a physiotherapist. Therefore the 2 professionals working alongside each other is a perfect combination for the overall recovery and improvement in the movement of the client.</span>

&nbsp;

<span style="font-weight: 400;">However, Haines took his ideas even further. Having access to isokinetic equipment meant he could trial and test his, and his colleague Nick Barrow’s, ideas. This evolved a tried and tested series of manual assessments to identify where an individual may have a risk of an injury waiting to occur. This systematic ‘functional’ approach to injury prevention is quite unique in that level 3 exercise professionals are perfectly placed to deliver this kind of programming. </span>

&nbsp;

<span style="font-weight: 400;">So, we as PT’s, Fitness professional’s, Pilates or Yoga teachers are the exercise experts and we are crying out for objectivity in our assessment and exercise prescription process! Which is why the Intrinsic Biomechanics methodology of Biomechanics Coaching™, that has evolved from the Remedial Gymnastics professional since the 1980’s, is having such a massive success in the fitness industry. </span>

&nbsp;

<span style="font-weight: 400;">The badge of the Society of Remedial Gymnastics has a motto in Latin;</span>

&nbsp;

<i><span style="font-weight: 400;">SPES SIBI QUISQUE</span></i>

&nbsp;

<i><span style="font-weight: 400;">Let each man’s hope be in himself </span></i>

&nbsp;

<i><span style="font-weight: 400;">or put another way, ‘rely on his own resources’. </span></i>

&nbsp;

<span style="font-weight: 400;">This is absolutely the ethos of being a Biomechanics Coach™. To empower individual’s, clients, participants, patients, whatever we define them as, to care for themselves, take ownership of their physical state and consider the impacts of their chosen lifestyle. </span>

&nbsp;

<span style="font-weight: 400;">We are the professionals who prepare people for movement, educate people how to regain functional capacity, inform people where to begin using a tried and tested system, identify risk, teach true function, all with simple logic and exercise guidance.</span>

&nbsp;

<span style="font-weight: 400;">We form alliances with those who have different skill sets, knowing what WE know really well and accepting we do not have certain skills, therefore, utilising our clinically trained colleagues for occasions where clients have ‘true’ medical injuries.</span>

&nbsp;

<span style="font-weight: 400;">Hopefully, this gives you some idea of what Biomechanics Coaching™ is, where it comes from and the benefits gained from our practice. </span>
