The Turkish Get Up: a game changer in the clinician toolbox
27 Nov 2024
The Hands-On Hub
Often touted as the 'go-to functional tool' for rehabilitation and S&C coaches alike, the Turkish Get Up (TGU) is an extremely valuable weapon in the clinician's toolbox. The session will introduce the TGU in a simple, fun and practical way allowing therapists to develop both the personal ability and coaching skill to apply the TGU the next day. A big emphasis will be placed on the incredible opportunity and role clinicians play in movement skill development and how it can add significant value to what they do and patient outcomes. We will also briefly evaluate the TGU from a clinical perspective providing therapists with the appropriate justification and programming modifications to make it patient-centred and evidence-informed.
- Theory to Practice
- 1. Application of the TGU as a powerful rehabilitation and physical literacy tool in the clinical setting.
- 2. Ability to coach, prescribe and modify a basic TGU.
- 3. Critical evaluation of movement coaching vs exercise philosophy.
