TrueTurnPro Personal Trainer - Level 1

TrueTurnPro Personal Trainer - Level 1

Rotation is fundamental to human movement and needed for daily living activities as well as sports and athletics. The TrueTurnPro is the world's first thoracic spine isolation and rotation device, it enhances trunk/spinal ROM and helps to increase strength and stability of both the hip and spine. 

In this course, you will learn the concepts of rotary ground force training and “locking” the upper kinetic chain, how and when to integrate exercises using the TrueTurn Pro to enhance ROM and core muscular engagement. You will learn proper exercise techniques for foundational exercises using the TrueTurnPro, including coaching and cueing tips you can utilize in your overall programming.  

TrueTurnPro was invented by Carl Horne Jr. PTT, who developed this course along with John Preston MS, EP-C, CSCS, ACE-CPT. This course will improve your ability to teach and coach human rotation using the TrueTurnPro, improve overall programming and enhance your clients’ training technique.
