About the Video

Injury proofing is a concept based on the premise that if you can determine the dysfunction and/or capabilities of the muscle, joint and nerves
before and during the workout, the incidence of injury will be reduced, while maintaining enough muscle stimulus to increase muscle mass
and strength. Dr. Ken will be presenting on how you can determine which muscles are dysfunctional and show their capabilities in the lower
back region through various muscle testing techniques. He will also demonstrate how you can determine if a muscle is too tight due to a fascial
problem or neurological disorganization. You will also learn and participate in a workshop on how to determine how many reps and sets
a muscle is capable of and when to finish working a particular muscle group. Various injury proofing recovery techniques such as supplements,
electrotherapy, laser, and fascial work will be demonstrated that you can do inside and outside the gym. All these techniques will allow you
to help your client or patient prevent a weight-training injury waiting to happen.
