A Chek Practitioner is a specialist in Corrective Exercise and High-performance Kinesiology, developed by Paul Chek, head of the world renowned Chek Institute.  To become a Chek professional one is trained in assessment techniques and individualized application of exercise and exercise programs. The higher the level completed, the more practical knowledge and experience one will have, particularly in complex orthopedic conditions. A Chek Holistic Lifestyle Coach is also a specialist in wellness, stress management and lifestyle coaching.

A Chek qualification takes a professional personal trainer to a higher level of understanding of the functions and dysfunctions of the human body.

The main focus of a Chek-trained professional is not only working with individuals suffering from existing injuries, pain or health roadblocks, but also working with anyone who has a goal and prioritize their programs to include high level assessments so as to prevent injury. An injury is a certain hurdle for any athlete or person aiming to excel in their sport, fitness or lifestyle goals.

The Chek program has one of the most complete assessment system in the world of fitness and wellness, including the assessment of posture, length tension relationships, movement screening, biomechanics, nutritional and lifestyle screening, hormonal, emotional and spiritual factors, spinal pathologies and upper cervical anomalies. In all cases this should be done before an injury occurs.
