RTS Electives
RTS Electives are presentations that extend beyond the time and/or geographical constraints associated with the RTS123 and RTSM courses. These may include selected advanced studies, in-depth explorations of key topics, RTS preparatory studies, and/or RTSM adjunct presentations required before entering the RTSM Examination process.
Electives are scheduled, coordinated, and administered by the respective instructor. These electives are offered and available to people outside of the RTS program and its students. Although RTS recommends and in some case requires the subject matter as part of various certification level requirements, RTS is not responsible for the venues, exact curriculum, or exact content.
Although most instructors have their own website whereupon enrollment can be made directly, we have attempted to simplify the process of enrollment in electives for the RTS student by making it available online through the RTS website. However, each elective remains the responsibility of the instructor. Elective registration fees go to the instructor/s.
Mastery Electives
Mastery Electives are advanced experiences designed to further the education and thought processes at the mastery level. They are presented by Tom Purvis and/or guest experts in specific advanced topics. Registration is limited to those who have completed all four mastery modules: RTSm Science, Spine/Trunk, LE, and UE. You do not have to be RTSm certified to attend. Space will be limited based upon the specific topic and venue.
1. RTS Foundations: Introduction to RTS Principles
| These seminars and workshops are designed to introduce you to RTS principles and thought processes. These presentations vary in length and depth of information as determined by a variety of local and logistical factors. Most international presentations that require translation are not coordinated or administered through RTS Headquarters. This is designed as a precursor to RTS123 or RTSM courses. Canada and Mexico are currently the only sites for RTS123 courses outside of the US. Canadian courses can be viewed RTS123 schedule. Mexican RTS123 courses are only offered through Sport City locations. Presenter: Mark Slavin, DC |

2. Mastery Elective: Motor Learning
| Spring 2010 RTS Mastery Elective Exclusively for those who have completed all four RTSm modules; RTSm exam/certification not required. Motor Learning: Moving from "Motor Patterns" to Motor Recruitment Realities with Paul Juris, PhD Dr. Juris was kind enough to give an informal presentation and field our numerous questions at the first RTSm Elective in September 2009 and everyone in attendance asked for more... so here you go. Topics will include motor learning and motor recruitment research, "functional training", skill acquisition, plyometrics vs. power training, TVA function, reciprocal inhibition research, and much, much more. And as everyone appreciated in September, Paul loves inquiries and discussion, so bring all your questions. Paul is one of the very best presenters I have ever had the pleasure of hearing. He received his PhD in Motor Learning from Columbia University and has spent the last 30 years studying, researching, and constantly reviewing the latest research, as well as consulting form professional sports teams. Unlike all of the supposed "functional training experts" that contaminate Youtube, etc., and actually have no background in motor learning whatsoever, Paul is the real deal. He is without a doubt one of the most knowledgeable people in the industry on the topics of motor recruitment and related subjects, especially as they apply to exercise and sports performance training. Hope you can make it. Tom Location: Focus On Fitness in Oklahoma City When: May 24-25, 2010 **The following details are tentative and will be finalized by April 1.
