Kaizen Adaptive Training Amputee Protocol teaches the adaptive athlete, coach, trainer or healthcare provider on amputee-specific strength and conditioning methodologies. An amputation is the loss or removal of a body part such as a finger, toe, hand, foot, arm, or leg. It can be a life-changing experience affecting an individual's ability to move, work, interact with others and maintain a level of independence. Attendees will learn the movement principles and how to execute functional movements for athletes with a missing or salvaged limb.
Loaded and unloaded functional movements:
1. Squatting (air squats)
2. Hinging (deadlifting)
3. Pushing (pushups and burpees)
4. Pulling (pull-ups)
5. Carrying (heavy carry)
Attendees will be educated on the following;
• Causes of amputation.
• How to manage and prevent common over-use injuries.
• Attendees will learn how to modify or adapt all functional movements loaded or unloaded.
• Safety and pain-free range of motion is more important than load and intensity
“Kaizen Adaptive Training is a great program to train, compete or just to better yourself mentally and physically. The mindset is great and really focuses on the individual needs.”
