Corrective Exercise: Assessing Movement and Treatment Strategies to Enhance Exercise

Course Description

This course will empower you to think critically beyond traditional exercises to create and enhance individualized rehab programs to best serve your patients. You'll learn the concepts of neuroplasticity and stability motor control to help to enhance patient outcomes through exercise, as well as the "why" behind each exercise so you can confidently apply techniques to particular patient needs. By the end of the day, you'll be able to incorporate movement analysis, corrective exercise techniques, and motor control retraining to customize your rehab programs and effectively progress your patients toward their specific goals. Plus, we'll cover feedback learning strategies for crystal clear communication between you and your patients through it all.

 

As with all our courses, this course is mostly hands-on lab. Please note participants will not be required to perform all the exercises demonstrated in the course.
