Paul Chek – Advanced Swiss Ball Training for Rehabilitation

Demonstrating how to apply biomechanics and kinesiology to Swiss ball assessments and functional training techniques is what is covered in Advanced Swiss Ball Training for Rehabilitation. The utilization of the Swiss Ball for injury prevention and rehabilitation is showcased by Paul. Through the use of Swiss ball assessments, the identification of postural problems and instabilities is taught. Corrective exercises, tailored to the client’s condition and training level, can be developed after the completion of the course.

As for the CHEK Institute, it furnishes health, fitness, and wellness professionals with a uniquely integrated and holistic perspective. If one desires to progress in professional development through correspondence courses – both DVD and 100% online – books, audio programs, and DVDs at home or attend live seminars or multi-day training programs, the CHEK Institute is the go-to place.

The CHEK Institute’s approach to functional exercise and optimal health, created by the institute’s founder, Paul Chek, is based on his 30 years of clinical practice with clients from diverse backgrounds and his diverse educational background as a Holistic Health Practitioner, Neuromuscular and Sports Massage Therapist. Paul’s methods take a truly holistic approach, perceiving the body as a system of systems – a fully integrated unit where physical, hormonal, mental, emotional, and spiritual aspects must all be considered.

For the Advanced Swiss Ball Training for Rehabilitation with Paul Chek, the CHEK Institute recommends 8 hours of training. The duration of the course depends on the individual and their reasons for taking it. Some individuals, driven by a keen interest or taking it as a prerequisite for the CHEK Practitioner Program Level 2, may watch the videos 2-3 times through. It is generally advised that students preparing for CHEK Practitioner Program Level 2 spend about one month studying this course, particularly if they are employed full time.

The current trajectory in the fitness industry is steering away from machine-based, bodybuilding programs towards functional training, introducing two significant changes: the emergence of many new training tools and a shift in the role of the fitness professional.

As the machine era in fitness nears its end, gyms and fitness studios are now equipped with a variety of both new and traditional training tools. Free-weights and medicine balls are regaining popularity, and they share space with other items like wobble boards, foam rollers, the Fitter, and Tornado Balls. The Swiss ball, traditionally used by physical therapists since the 1960s, has also found its way into the fitness industry as an effective functional training modality.

The Swiss ball’s popularity has brought a new facet to functional training. Similar to free-weights, Swiss balls offer versatility in performing numerous exercises. One of the Swiss ball’s distinctive features is the unstable training environment it creates, leading to high levels of nervous system activation. By challenging the nervous system during training, athletes can better prepare for demanding sports situations, while the average user can be ready for unforeseen events in daily life that might pose injury risks.
