Taping for the Upper Extremity
Presented by Alex Siyufy, PT, DPT, SCS, ATC, Cert. MDT, CPAM, Cert. DN, SFMA
Recorded Webinar
Course: #5435Level: Introductory2 Hours
This course provides a practical, evidence-informed overview of therapeutic taping, including traditional rigid (inelastic) methods (e.g., McConnell-style techniques) and elastic kinesiology taping for common clinical goals such as unloading (deloading), facilitation, and inhibition to support participation in daily activities. Participants will review the current research base with a focused emphasis on cervical spine and upper extremity applications, including conditions such as lateral epicondylitis, upper crossed syndrome, carpal tunnel syndrome, rib fractures, and myofascial trigger points. Designed for both taping newcomers and experienced clinicians, the course covers foundational application skills alongside up-to-date parameters and strategy selection based on recent literature.

Primary Care for Rehabilitation Providers: The Facts on Aging, Sleep, Physical Activity, Nutrition, Social Connection and More!
Presented by Mike Studer, PT, DPT, MHS, NCS, CEEAA, CWT, CSST, CBFP, CSRP, FAPTA
Recorded Webinar
Course: #5431Level: Advanced3 Hours
Science continues to ask the question about aging, “Is aging due to nature (our genes) or nurture (our lifestyle)?” A related question is now directed at our healthspan – how long can we live without disability or illness? In this course, Dr. Mike Studer brings the science and scope of practice-sensitivity to rehabilitation providers aspiring to improve comprehensive health and wellness for their patients, their loved ones, and themselves. This course provides applications in healthspan and lifespan that we can apply now as a primary care provider – but also - choose for ourselves, across five categories of life: physical activity, sleep, nutrition, social connection, and the health benefits of extreme experiences or “outside of your comfort zone”. It is time for rehabilitation providers to truly know, understand, educate-on and deliver the science of health and wellness. This course will elevate practitioners’ capacities with theory, science and applications – all while empowering their patients with the most valuable tool of all – evidence based options from which to exercise the element of choice.

Biophysical Agents for Pain Management: Current Evidence and Application
Presented by Michael Tautonico, PT, DPT, NCS, Christopher Voltmer, PT, DPT, PhD, NCS
Live WebinarFri, May 29, 2026 at 10:00 am EDT
Course: #5452Level: Advanced2 Hours
Biophysical Agents for Pain Management: Current Evidence and Application analyzes the current literature and contemporary approaches to the use of biophysical agents for pain management. High-level evidence will be synthesized and presented to update and guide clinicians on the biophysical agents best supported by research. This course will discuss both established and novel biophysical agents with evidence-based application.

The Salzman Matrix: Combining Cognitive & Motor Tasks with Purpose
Presented by Andrea Salzman, MS, PT
Recorded Webinar
Course: #5381Level: Introductory2 Hours
Cognition and movement are tightly linked in functional activity, yet integrating them in rehabilitation can be challenging. While dual-task training is commonly used, poorly matched cognitive demands can interfere with motor performance and learning. This introductory course introduces the Salzman Matrix, an evidence-aligned clinical reasoning framework designed to guide purposeful cognitive–motor integration while minimizing interference. Participants will learn how to distinguish cognitive processes that support movement from cognitive demands that commonly compete with motor goals, and how to apply this framework to functional treatment planning and documentation across rehabilitation settings.

Treat Them Like Athletes: Performance-Based Rehab for Non-Athletes
Presented by Andrea Salzman, MS, PT
Recorded Webinar
Course: #5379Level: Introductory2 Hours
This training equips physical and occupational therapy providers with tools to maximize client outcomes by blending athletic principles with innovative rehabilitation strategies. Participants will learn how to adapt techniques like plyometric training, dynamic warm-ups, motor imagery, motivational interviewing, Tabata training, and performance-based feedback for non-athlete clients.

Blood Flow Restriction Therapy in Rehabilitation: Physiological Mechanisms, Clinical Applications, and Safety Considerations for OT/PT Practice
Presented by Rina Pandya, PT, DPT, FHEA, PGLTHE
Recorded Webinar
Course: #5336Level: Intermediate3 Hours
This course examines the theory and practice of Blood Flow Restriction Therapy (BFRT). Participants will study the physiological mechanisms, application techniques, and clinical reasoning required for its proper use. The curriculum covers the implementation of BFRT for a range of goals—including strength, hypertrophy, aerobic conditioning, and rehabilitation—while focusing on essential safety protocols, contraindications, and vascular risk mitigation.

The Basic Concept of the Schroth Method in Conservative Scoliosis Treatment
Presented by Avis Leung, PT, DPT
Recorded Webinar
Course: #5366Level: Introductory2 Hours
The prevalence of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis is high among the general population, and yet physical therapists find themselves unprepared to diagnose, assess, and provide evidence-based treatment. This course will provide therapists with an effective roadmap when they encounter a scoliosis patient.
