From the moment your client walks through your door... until right before their biomechanical analysis begins - that's the Yellow Brick Road. Coaching Client's in Pain: A 4 part Framework's (previously known as The Yellow Brick Road) entire focus is on what transpires BEFORE the movement coach takes his or her client onto the assessment and exercise floor; the non-movement, interpersonal aspects of coaching and what’s involved in working with the chronic pain demographic. It’s a 4-part framework that synthesizes: - psychological theory - pain neuroscience - interpersonal relationship building principles - client-centred coaching essentials Integrating the movement and coaching realm is a complex, sophisticated process. This online curriculum provides a platform for each coach to seek & understand the narrative behind each client’s psychosocial stressors and provide them with an emotionally safe environment, so when it comes time for the biomechanical analysis, a truly 3-dimensional biopsychosocial experience takes place for each client. The Yellow Brick Road provides coaches a system for going beyond the biomechanical realm of influence, towards uncovering each clients’ internal problems; those areas of life that hold the most meaning which have been negatively impacted by chronic pain. This course is about how to coach clients who are experiencing pain. Creating pain-free transformations is not a random sequence of events. Instead, the genesis of change involves integrating biomechanical & anatomical factors with psychological & environmental considerations. The Yellow Brick Road will have you understanding why your clients are in pain, have you feeling enormously confident during the client intake process, and knowing precisely what to do with clients who have seemingly lost hope and ‘tried everything’.
