This is the live version of our 2012 revised and extended Diploma Functional Therapy.
Learn how to train people for accelerated recovery from diagnosed injury using functional training assessments, hands-on techniques, movement patterns and progressions, so that you become the functional therapy expert in your locality.
This is a course for trainers who want to be at the leading edge of their industry, and are prepared to work hard to get there. You will be studying the body in dysfunction – joint by joint, muscle by muscle and motion by motion – in three planes, and across many different movement scenarios.
The course is suitable for Instructors, Personal Trainers, Therapists, Sports Coaches and other Health & Fitness Professionals who have an existing foundation in the principles of sport and exercise, and a drive to develop their own thought process, skills and techniques.
The course comprises six modules on Functional Therapy, plus a further three extra and outstanding modules, new for 2012, on Sales, Marketing and Coaching, to help you take your business as a trainer to another level of excellence and financial success.

These course notes are a transcript of the upcoming audio and video file. So where you read “I” that refers to the author John and where you read “we” that means the company, FASTER. We have not sought to change this as we are a company that seeks to be less corporate and more community-oriented.
