- R-Phase: Rehabilitation, Restoration, Re-Education
R-Phase certification is the foundational six-day Z-Health program.
With R-Phase, we focus on the basics: isolating movement and practicing with intent. In the beginning, all movements are done from a neutral stance position. In addition, we introduce and discuss anatomy, kinesiology, and fundamental neuroscience — to lay the foundation for the "whys" of the system. R-Phase, the initial stage, often brings dramatic changes in people, and provides trainers with a set of assessment tools and protocols to bring immediate results to their clients.
This certification introduces the Z-Health proprietary client assessment process, so trainers are able to resolve their clients’ issues much more quickly and efficiently. It also provides additional training in the R-Phase drills, as well as the Level 1 Neural Warm Up.
Prerequisite: None. This is the foundational Z-Health certification course.
- I-Phase: Integration Phase
I-Phase is designed to take individuals who have completed the R-Phase certification to the next level and beyond.
I-Phase, a much more athletic approach, expands on the R-Phase drills to include "real-world" athletic positions and stances. It moves past the joints to look at the roles of the visual and vestibular (inner ear/balance) systems in movement. Significant time is spent discussing HOW we learn and what needs to happen to replace bad — or other unfavorable — movement patterns.
Throughout this course, trainers develop expertise in the I-Phase series; learn advanced client assessment techniques for the visual, inner ear, and myofasical systems; and develop the skills necessary to assist more challenging clients.
Prerequisite: R-Phase Certification.
- S-Phase: Sports Phase
S-Phase focuses on athletic skill development and performance enhancement.
The certification program for S-Phase builds on the athletic movement foundation established in I-Phase. Trainers learn to both teach and perform the elite level basics of all sport mechanics: sprinting, cutting, linear and lateral speed, plyometric drills, and upper/lower body differentiation — and a lot of time is spent “playing.” New visual drills and assessment protocols are also introduced.
S-Phase certified Z trainers learn the drills, skills, and principles of the Z-Health approach to building speed, agility, coordination, explosive strength, visual skills, and improved reaction times, as well as advanced principles for structuring athletic training programs.
Prerequisite: R-Phase and I-Phase Certifications.
- T-Phase: Therapy Phase
T-Phase certification is for advanced Z-Health certified trainers, corrective exercise specialists, therapists, physicians, and anyone else who is interested in incorporating Z-Health myofascial exercises into their work with clients.
T-Phase covers multiple systems of the body, including the lymphatic, nervous, respiratory, cranial, dermal, and fascial — their complex relationships and how they communicate with one another. For example, tissue damaged from injuries and surgeries can impact a person’s movement and performance years later; impinged nerves cause the associated muscles to be weak; chronic pain is not the same neurologically as acute pain; etc.
T-Phase trainers develop extensive skills in advanced client assessment techniques and have an in-depth toolbox of guided myofascial exercises, as well as the skills necessary for working with and/or referring clients with challenging issues or histories.
Prerequisite: R-Phase and I-Phase.
- 9S: Core Athletic Attribute Development
The 9S certification courses develop additional expertise in the nine elements that create world-class athleticism: Strength, Skill, Sustenance, Suppleness, Stamina, Structure, Spirit, Style, and Speed.
These “basics” are inter-related, and need to be studied and trained to help athletes reach their true genetic potential. Each year, Z-Health holds a certification for one of the 9S programs. In 2008, Z-Health held certifications in Strength and Suppleness; this past summer, the Sustenance & Spirit certification was held.
Prerequisite: Vary by session.
- Master Trainer Program
The Z-Health Master Trainer Program helps Z Specialists take their coaching to the highest level.
Being a professional, world-class educator demands exceptional levels of skill in a variety of areas. In addition to long and intense preparation, Z-Health Master Trainer candidates must have both an extensive Z-Health and academic body of knowledge. They are required to participate in a 9-month testing process, culminating in a six-day live-testing event. The Z-Health Master Trainer Program incorporates numerous “character challenges” into its curriculum, to ensure that academic and physical abilities are challenged, as well as individual motivation and stress management skills.
Once certified, Master Trainers teach Z-Health Certification Courses, assist in the development of new products and materials, and work as mentors and coaches for newer Z-Health Performance practitioners.
Prerequisite: R-Phase, I-Phase, S-Phase, and T-Phase.
