Whether you train them to do it or not, it’s likely your clients are lifting things in their day-to-day life, even if they have deep core dysfunction.

In addition, we know lifting can support health as we age. So should we really be avoiding it with these clients?

Well, it’s complicated! Whilst heavy lifting is a risk factor for pelvic floor dysfunctions, there is a way through the minefield to help someone with core dysfunctions to lift again in a safe, logical, and progressive way.

Rather than avoiding lifting, this course, designed for health and fitness professionals, will help you assess which movements are safe for your clients with core dysfunction. You’ll also learn how to train them to progress—both for their overall health and to improve their lifting ability.

This course is for trainers who:

• have female clients
• predominately use weights as a training tool
• understand that women must lift weights for optimal health
• understand that women have unique risks and vulnerabilities that lifting weights can exacerbate
• want it all – the lifting weights, optimal health, and risk mitigation!
