(HS Frey 065698 2025) Strength & Stability: Clinical Programming for Bone & Muscle Preservation in Menopausal Women - Part 2

Course overview

Transform assessment knowledge into actionable, phase-based exercise programs that deliver measurable outcomes for women in midlife and beyond. Building on Module 1's foundational science and assessment strategies, this hands-on module equips you with the clinical skills to design, implement, and progress individualized training programs that address the complex needs of postmenopausal women with osteopenia, osteoporosis, and sarcopenia. Learn the systematic 3-phase approach used by leading rehabilitation specialists: Foundation (building movement competency), Progressive Loading (increasing strength capacity), and Power/Functional Integration (enhancing speed and real-world resilience). Each phase includes specific exercise selections, intensity parameters, volume recommendations, and progression criteria. Clinical Impact: Create weekly training templates that balance heavy resistance (2-3x/week), strategic cardio (HIIT + aerobic), power work, and recovery Confidently address common barriers: managing pain and arthritic flare-ups, screening for pelvic floor dysfunction, overcoming fear of fracture, and supporting adherence Apply evidence-based coaching strategies and cueing techniques that enhance movement quality and client confidence Progress clients from chair squats to weighted step-ups, from static balance to dynamic trail preparation--with clear, reproducible protocols What You'll Learn: How to differentiate programming for beginner, intermediate, and advanced clients based on movement competency and bone health status Sample weekly schedules showing exactly when to schedule strength, power, cardio, balance, and recovery sessions Modification strategies for pain, limited mobility, and exercise contraindications while maintaining program effectiveness Real-world application through a detailed case study: preparing a 65-year-old woman with osteopenia for a demanding 4-day hiking trip This module bridges the gap between knowing what exercise works and knowing how to prescribe it--giving you the programming precision and clinical confidence to transform outcomes, one phase at a time.
