Based on current research, this session will explore areas such as the mental health benefits of physical activity, the role of habit and identity, and strategies to promote physical activity and reduce sedentary behaviour.

A Movement Pattern Approach to Navigating Pain with your Clients (Brian Justin)
Your client wants to train but persistent pain gets in the way. It could be from muscle imbalances, osteoarthritis, poor technique, or the residual leftovers of an injury. As a trainer what do you do? There are lots of things you can do. This workshop will go over pain science, movement pattern modifications and programming strategies so that you feel comfortable still being able to train your client when they have painful episodes that act up just before your session. Exercise is medicine and keeping our clients moving so they can handle stress, build strength, pack on muscle, and grow their metabolic capacity is important even when it occurs on a background of persistent pain.
