196 - Why All Coaches Need to Have a Movement Assessment in Their Toolbox

Care-Coach-Lead

If you've been following along on the new Care-Coach-Lead Youtube channel, you've seen how we incorporate range of motion assessments to create better modifications for clients in the class setting, and help them attack the root cause of their pain or performance issues.

Having these assessments has been one of the biggest upgrades to our coaching staff since our inception, yet we still see so many coaches and gym owners that don't utilize this amazing tool.

One of the big misconceptions that we see with movement assessments is that they don't really have a place in a general fitness group class setting, and they are only for coaches that want to specialize in helping clients resolve pain and injuries, similar to what a physical therapist would do.

But movement assessments can make you more valuable to every client that is coming to your gym; helping you to create better modifications and warm ups, sharpening your coaching eye, and helping you build more empathy for clients.

In today's episode, we break down why movement assessments are so important, and explain why all coaches should use them, even if you don't plan to ever specialize in the rehab setting.
