Upgrade Your Skills Without the Overwhelm
WHY SHORT COURSES?
Each short course is built around a single body region — giving you deep, applicable knowledge in one focused area without requiring you to commit to the full flagship program. Perfect for instructors who want to address a specific gap, prepare for a particular client type, or build out their knowledge systematically, region by region.
Designed for Busy Professionals
Each course is short, focused, and impactful — so you can upgrade your skills without committing to months of study.
Evidence-Based + Practical
All lecture content blends current research with hands-on application — immediately useful in your sessions.
Client-Centered Education
Learn not just the condition or concept, but how to tailor it to the actual person standing in front of you.
THE SHORT COURSES
Four Courses. Four Body Regions.
Each course includes 5+ hours of lecture content — structured by body region so you can start with what's most relevant to your clients right now. All courses include lifetime access and AOP community chat access.
THE SPINE
5+ hrs of content
Anatomy, Biomechanics + Common Pathologies of the Spine
Master spinal biomechanics and confidently teach clients with injuries — from disc bulges and radiculopathy to scoliosis and stenosis. Understand how the spine moves, why it moves that way, and what to do when it doesn't.
FEATURED LECTURES
→ Bony anatomy and biomechanics of the spine
→ Joints, ligaments, and biomechanics of the spine pt. 2
→ Muscles of the trunk
→ Pathologies of the spine
→ Pathologies of the spine: Guideline-based programming
UPPER EXTREMITY
5+ hrs of content
Anatomy, Biomechanics + Common Pathologies of the Upper Extremity
Master the upper extremity and scapula — from rotator cuff tears and frozen shoulder to impingement and tendinopathy. Learn how the shoulder complex actually works so you can adapt with confidence, not guesswork.
FEATURED LECTURES
→ Bony anatomy and biomechanics of the upper extremity
→ Muscles of the upper extremity
→ Muscles and movements of the scapula
→ Pathologies of the upper extremity
→ Pathologies of the upper extremity: Guideline-based programming
THE PELVIS
5+ hrs of content
Anatomy, Biomechanics + Common Pathologies of the Pelvis
Master the pelvis and learn to integrate it with the lower extremity and spine. Cover FAI, groin pain, lateral hip pain, and working with joint replacements — with the clinical reasoning to guide clients confidently through all of it.
FEATURED LECTURES
→ Bony anatomy and biomechanics of the pelvis
→ Ligaments and muscles of the pelvis
→ Pathologies of the pelvis
→ Two joint muscles
→ Working with joint replacements
LOWER EXTREMITY
5+ hrs of content
Anatomy, Biomechanics + Common Pathologies of the Lower Extremity
Master the lower extremity — from the ACL and ITB to patellar tendinopathy, chronic ankle instability, and plantar heel pain. Learn how the knee and foot actually function under load so you can make better decisions in the studio.
FEATURED LECTURES
→ Bony anatomy and biomechanics of the lower extremity
→ Ligaments, muscles, and tendons of the lower extremity
→ The ACL and the ITB
→ Pathologies of the knee
→ Pathologies of the foot and ankle
