- Aging Process: What is Happening to the Body and What Does it Mean? 3This course discusses at an in-depth level the physiological changes that occur with aging, the modifiable factors that impact the effects of aging, and how these contribute to the function of older adults. Participants will gain knowledge in assessing what changes are normal with aging versus those that are not, intervention strategies, and in addressing risk factors when they are identified.
- Evidence-Based Balance Rehabilitation and Fall Prevention 6
Course release date: 4/8/2024
About the Course
This course is intended for physical therapy, occupational therapy and athletic training practitioners who address balance impairments and work to reduce falls in their patients and communities. This course defines balance and its components, describes how the various balance issues fall into these component categories and categorizes these impairments accordingly. It will outline how to assess balance and interpret the many varied assessment tools available. Taking this information, clinicians will see how to systematically approach balance rehabilitation, including how to prioritize needs, account for patient background and resources, and work towards long term falls reduction. Finally, this course discusses current guidelines for community level fall prevention strategies and how therapists can be more involved with this process.
- Exercise Prescription and Rehabilitation Considerations for Older Adults 3
Course release date: 7/8/2024
About the Course
This course is intended for rehabilitation professionals who participate in the care of older adults. The course explores the strength, endurance, and aerobic capacity deficits commonly seen in this population. Not only will it discuss the causes and contributing factors to these deficits, but it will also discuss assessment tools, evaluation techniques, standardized assessments, and patient interventions.
- Introduction to Golf Rehabilitation and Performance: 90 Percent Mental, 90 Percent Physical 3
Course release date: 4/8/2024
About the Course
According to the National Golf Foundation, 25 million Americans play golf every year. Many of these individuals require rehabilitation at some point, seeking guidance regarding an injury or improvement in the quality of their performance.
The purpose of this course is to educate clinicians on the basics of golf rehabilitation and allow them to work confidently with golfers of any skill level. The goal is for rehab professionals to become stand-alone experts in evaluating the capability of your client’s body and how it functions as they enjoy the game of golf.
This course will provide value for practitioners of all experience levels, from those who have never touched a golf club or set foot on a golf course to the seasoned professional. It will include a thorough introduction to basic golf language and concepts, a review of the relevant anatomy and biomechanics, a novel approach to evaluation of the patient or client’s physical capabilities, and specific strategies to improve the neuromotor processes that promote recovery from injury and higher quality golf performance.
- Move Better, Feel Better: A Movement-Based Approach to Soft Tissue Mobilization for the Lower Body 5
About the Course
If you want to learn how a combination of soft tissue treatments can help your clients to feel and move better: this course is for you.
This evidence based approach, combines IASTM, Cupping and Kinesiology Taping by focusing on how we can stimulate the Central Nervous System (CNS) to reduce pain and enhance mobility. This comprehensive treatment philosophy is movement-focused we don’t treat the individual muscle, or the fascia, or the joints, but we make overall movement of the affected body part more efficient to allow the body to heal and to become more resilient: “Move Better, Feel Better”
Take your Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization (IASTM) -techniques to the next level by incorporating movement. Understand how Cupping Therapy (CT) is different than all other manual techniques, and how it supports healing, and recovery. Learn how Kinesiology Taping (KT) is used to influence the fascia and underlying neural tissues to cause functional changes in both the local tissue as well as the Central Nervous System (CNS). KT is the ideal complement to soft tissue treatments like IASTM and Cupping.
Understanding how pain works and being able to educate your clients on how to manage their pain is critical to patient outcomes. This course uses principles of the BPS model and Pain Scienced Education as a roadmap to make your treatments even more effective. This treatment approach does not just look at the area of pain, but considers the entire person, and treats the entire dynamic chain that is affected.
