This introductory 2-hour webinar explores how water's unique physical properties—buoyancy, hydrostatic pressure, and thermal effects—create an optimal environment for therapeutic exercise in patients with chronic musculoskeletal pain. Participants will learn the physiological mechanisms underlying aquatic therapy's effectiveness, practical protocols for common chronic pain conditions including low back pain, osteoarthritis, and fibromyalgia, and essential safety considerations. Through examination of recent clinical trials and systematic reviews, attendees will gain immediately applicable knowledge to implement aquatic therapy programs that reduce pain, improve function, and enhance quality of life for their patients.auditory, textual, visual129USDSubscriptionUnlimited COURSE Access for $129/yearOnlineOnlyPhysicalTherapy.comwww.physicaltherapy.comChronic Pain Management Through Aquatic TherapyDiscover evidence-based strategies for integrating aquatic therapy into chronic pain management.

5https://www.physicaltherapy.com/pt-ceus/course/acute-sci-management-what-to-5442Acute SCI Management: What to Do and Why It MattersAcute spinal cord injury (SCI) is clinically complex and often unpredictable, with patients presenting as medically fragile and at high risk for secondary complications. In this environment, physical therapists are required to make rapid, high-stakes decisions while balancing safety, recovery potential, and medical stability. This course introduces a practical clinical framework designed to guide prioritization of assessment and intervention in the acute phase of SCI. The focus is on helping clinicians identify what matters most, when it matters most, in order to support safe progression of mobility and recovery. Emphasis is placed on managing common acute challenges such as respiratory compromise, cardiovascular instability, autonomic dysfunction, and immobility-related complications. Participants will learn how to structure evaluation and treatment strategies that are both efficient and purposeful within medically complex presentations. Ultimately, this framework is designed to support clinicians in preparing patients for the next phase of rehabilitation by optimizing early decision-making, maximizing functional potential, and reducing preventable secondary complications.auditory, textual, visual129USDSubscriptionUnlimited COURSE Access for $129/yearOnlineOnlyPhysicalTherapy.comwww.physicaltherapy.comAcute SCI Management: What to Do and Why It MattersAcute spinal cord injury (SCI) is clinically complex and often unpredictable, with patients presenting as medically fragile and at high risk for secondary complications.
