Internship Programs

The BioMechanics offer a two day, full immersion internship program where attendees learn one on one how to assess individual clients for musculoskeletal issues, interpret the results, and design and implement a corrective exercise program. This program is conducted on-site at The BioMechanics facility in San Diego in the spring and fall each year.

Alternatively, The BioMechanics will travel to you (for groups of 5 or more) for specialized internship programs or workshops.

The internship program provides fitness professionals with a unique opportunity to learn about the following topics in a relaxed and highly personalized environment:

Structural Assessment

  • The lumbo-pelvic-hip girdle
