Q&A

The StrongPosture® protocols are a framework, or flow of exercise, you can teach patients/clients – a step at a time – over many visits. The protocol is specifically designed to mesh with the techniques, therapies and exercises you already offer in practice. Whether you prefer low-tech tools like wobble boards or new-tech like vibration boards – we’ll show you how to incorporate the tools you already as peelbacks or progressions.

You know it is. Posture exercise is applicable to every lifestyle, age, and fitness level. CPEP’s incorporate posture protocols with all age groups, kids to teens, boomers, seniors and geriatrics. They work with all ranges of ability and activity, from teenage athletes to computer-bound professionals. Whether a patient/client is recovering from an injury or preparing for the Olympics, there is a way to peelback or progress the posture protocol to fit their specific needs.

Many professionals holding CPEP® posture specialty certification work with special populations and are integrating the protocols with specialty practices including working with aging populations, prenatal and postnatal clients, pediatric practices, children with Down Syndrome, cerebral palsy, muscular dystrophy and spina bifida, patients seen for scoliosis treatment, stroke recovery, Parkinson’s disease, gait re education, as well as peak performance, holistic and wellness practices.

Enrollees can complete certification within 3 months, while others choose to use the full 24 months for completion. We encourage you to take only as much time as you need to learn the protocols, and satisfy all requirements to earn certification. We’d like you to complete the program within 24 months. If there is a special circumstance, we will grant your request for an extension. To keep you on track the program includes a 15 Step Guide that provides a framework for completing the requirements systematically.

There are a few online components. The required online course Clinical Posture Practice is video-based and can be accessed 24 hours via any internet connection. Complete 20 minutes at lunch, or an hour at midnight… whatever works best for your schedule. Each time you log in, you have the option to pick up where you left off, or back up and review the material.

If you opt to complete training via the online interactive platform – instead of a live, hands-on seminar (your choice) – after completing the online coursework Clinical Posture Practice, you’ll gain access to the CPEP® training area where you’ll get video assignments and receive feedback, correction and encouragement via personal video response.

Ultimately, the interactive training ensures you learn the protocols to successfully integrate into practice and teach your clients or patients… when we’re confident that you’re clear and precise in your technique, you move on to the next lesson.

No! You choose how to satisfy the training requirement. You may attend a live seminar or train via the interactive online video platform. Initially launched for international enrollees, this training option is now offered to all CPEP® applicants. You’ll benefit from the same interactive experience and feedback as seminar attendees, with no travel!

If you choose this option for training, it replaces the live seminar component in the CPEP Posture Certification package (currently no additional cost). Note: Due to the personal, one-on-one instructor time requirement of the training platform, enrollee is expected to complete preliminary requirements and study materials prior to beginning this final training component.

“CPEP Certification” – the lower priced listing – includes everything required to achieve CPEP posture certification.

The second option, “Complete Posture Practice and CPEP Certification” includes other items, like the digital posture assessment software, an additional corporate/community lecture, practice posters, banners and a portable grid for posture screenings, etc. This package is offered for those professionals who want EVERYTHING we have that complements the posture exercise protocols – and is packaged at a discount. Many refer to it as a turn-key posture exercise program in a box (though it actually ships in several boxes)!
