A Better Corrective Exercise Certification by Design
The Human Movement Specialist (HMS) certification is the best-reviewed , and is the only 3rd party approved and college-credit worthy corrective exercise certification in the industry. It is also the only certification included in a true monthly membership plan (cancel anytime).
Definition:
- Corrective Exercise : Corrective exercises are self-administered exercises recommended to address an assessed movement impairment and improve the quality of motion. They are commonly included in corrective exercise programs, movement preparation warm-ups, home exercise programs (self-management programs), and supervised physical rehabilitation programs. Specific techniques may address muscle imbalance (altered length, overactive, underactive, hypertonicity, hypotonicity), joint stiffness, mobility , osteokinematic or arthrokinematic alignment, altered movement patterns, posture , and/or functional movement.
- Human Movement Specialist (HMS) Certification: The only corrective exercise certification built using an evidence-based, systematic, integrated, patient-centered, and outcome-driven approach
Why Build a New Corrective Exercise Certification?
The Human Movement Specialist (HMS) Certification was built to help our colleagues achieve more reliable and effective outcomes. Too m ny corrective exercise certifications were founded based on the experience of a charismatic leader rather than the development based on an outcome-driven, scientific approach. The Human Movement Specialist (HMS) certification was built to be the first evidence-based, systematic, integrated, patient-centered, and outcome-driven corrective certification. Rather than start with techniques, this certification started with systematic research reviews, a clinical decision model, and a systematic approach to developing intervention plans. The selection of techniques resulted from the analysis of randomized control trials (RCTs) and comparisons based on reliable, objective outcome measures. This ensures our colleagues will not waste time learning less effective techniques and can focus on mastering the techniques that most reliably result in the largest effect sizes. In short, the Brookbush Institute did not intend to build a system "that works"; we intended to find the approach that "works best," and we continue to develop in pursuit of that goal.
Why the Brookbush Institute
- Unparalleled Accuracy of Information: The Brookbush Institute is the only comprehensively evidence-based education platform in the industry. We know that our colleagues want to be better, help more, and deliver unparalleled results, so they need the most accurate information available. The m st accurate information can only be achieved with a systematic approach to developing evidence-based courses. That is why every course we offer is built from a systematic review of all available peer-reviewed and published research, with a focus on improving practical application. With the Brookbush Institute, you never have to decide which "expert opinion" you "believe" when two or more courses contradict (which is all too common on other platforms). Although science slowly evolves over time, and our conclusions may be refined, you can be assured that the content we provide is the most well-supported conclusion that could be developed at the time of publication, based on research and outcomes, not expert opinion.
- Designed to be the Education Platform All of Wish Existed: All Brookbush Institute certifications are offered with an innovative system of modular courses, iterative testing, and credits (no summative final exam). Our courses include video, illustrations, audio, and text to ensure the learner has the format that they prefer wherever they are. Listen to courses in the car, watch close-captioned videos during breaks at work, or study the text and take notes at home. We are also incredibly passionate about making it comfortable to study from your phone so that you can sneak in study time at any time. Our goal is to develop the most accessible, flexible, and convenient education platform ever.
- Affordability and Access are Part of our Mission: We are the only education provider in the industry to include our certifications in a true monthly (or yearly) membership plan. This reduces the initial cost of certification to just 3 - 5% of comparable certifications, and you can cancel anytime.
