Optimizing Spinal Exercise Interventions: An Evidence-Based Approach

One of the greatest joys for a clinician is to help a patient with debilitating back pain, restoring their freedom to both function without pain and return to doing what they love.  Effective spine and core exercises are critical to your spine patient’s treatment program, especially helping them maintain their improvements. 

 

This 1-day course will take your spinal and core exercise intervention to an entirely new level.  We will cover cervical to lumbar spine biomechanics, core function, and stability training.  We will give you an abundance of up-to-date exercises to help you provide effective interventions to your patients. This course will allow you to confidently and effectively implement comprehensive exercise prescriptions for all of your back pain patients, from the cervical to the lumbar spine, from basic to complex.

 

This is a lab-based course—please make sure to wear appropriate attire and keep moving during class!
