EPPI Course

Enhanced Professional Physical Intervention (PI) training for first responders/health professionals.


Service Description

Expected deliverables: This course has been tailored for professionals who may potentially be exposed to physical violence while at work. This course is appropriate for first responders such as police and ambulance officers, paramedics, as well as for counsellors, health care professionals and many others. Learn the use of specialized breath control techniques to increase the strength of the spine and major joints in the body by expanding the space between joints and reinforcing them through internal pressure control. Use these techniques to reduce spinal compression under load and increase overall lifting and loading capacity. Amplify force through maximising mechanical efficiency as well as using internal pressure. Learn how to increase dynamic stability using specialized techniques to control internal pressure levels within the body Learn how to consciously and safely increase your muscle inhibition maximum limit, a limit set in your central nervous system on the amount of force you can apply physically, by hacking and reprogramming your brain and through rapid, trained physiological adaptation, enabling you to take your physical strength to the next level. Learn how to apply your enhanced strength within basic grappling and striking exercises which lay the foundation of the physical intervention techniques that you will learn during the course. Includes the application of these specialized breath control and internal pressure control techniques within a wide array of training instances over the duration of the course to solidify these techniques as instinctive responses. Includes a simple, pragmatic but comprehensive set of physical intervention techniques aimed at self-protection against a range of threats, including the threat of an improvised weapon. Expected course duration: 8 Week course, 2 lessons per week, 2 hours per lesson. All participants must complete a basic theory course component and questionnaire online prior to attending the course. Each lesson is split into a 1-hour course-specific Neuropotency session followed by a 1-hour PI session. Expected outcomes: Increased activation of key muscles that support and protect the spine (up to 130%, depending on exercise and muscle groups). Increased ability to pressurize the abdominal and pelvic cavity to support the spine (56 - 138%). Increased core stability (52 - 64%). Increased general strength and increased sustained grappling strength (17 to 58%). Increased impulse of strikes (80%).
