whereyou willbe
asked three case study questions
similarly in the course manual or the live seminar
you attended.The
questions will be focusing on anatomy, functional
anatomy, biomechanics, pathophysiology,movement
dysfunctions, periodization training as seen in
the sample case studies in the back of the Synergy
