Home Study courses available through
Athletic Spinal Fitness Institute

Technology you will learn in our courses was developed from research which included Pettibon Spinal Biomechanics, Colorado Springs U.S. Olympic Sports Medicine & Research Center and New England Patriots Training staff. Goal was to understand how proper global and segmental posture produced the superior physically talented human while increasing physical longevity.

Learn sports medicine applied technology on how to train for proper global posture and correct segmental medical conditions like the bulged disc, pinched nerve and spinal stenosis.

Our spinal biomechanics utilize the objective science of muscular skeletal leverage engineering. Our spinal engineering studies have been peer reviewed for merit and accuracy by such organizations as the National Strength and Conditioning Association and University of Washington.

Are courses are carried by organizations like the National High School Coaches Association, Washington Interscholastic Activities Association, National Athletic Trainers Association and National Strength And Conditioning Association.

We recommend for pre Chiropractic students to satisfy some of physics requirements that they should take our Biomechanical Muscular Skeletal Leverage Physics Courses through Seattle Pacific University. Call for details.

The spinal strengthening and treatment procedures, you will learn, are currently being used by health and fitness professionals/doctors in private practice and with organizations like New England Patriots, Seahawks, Jets, University of Michigan, WSU, Hawaii, US Army, Navy to name a few.

Continuing education tuition cost is $5 per credit.
Examples: 5 credit course is $25; 10 credit course is $50.
