The course covers new research on how to use intra-set and between rest periods effectively during strength training. Also covers how to program intermittent rest (between day) and recovery periods to avoid overtraining and detraining. This course is directly related to the practice of physical therapy and athletic training and is therefore appropriate for the PT/PTA and AT.

As cycling becomes an increasingly popular form of fitness, it is important for physical therapists and other health care practitioners to understand how to effectively diagnose and manage injuries that result from participation in this activity. Because cyclists tend to spend significant hours in the saddle, many of these conditions are classified as overuse problems and are difficult to resolve. This course will provide a comprehensive overview, which describes how overuse conditions association with cycling develop, how the physical therapist’s exam is used to identify problems associated with these injuries and discuss effective intervention plans for enhancing recovery. Strategies for preventing the onset of overuse syndromes associated with cycling will also be discussed. This course is directly related to the practice of physical therapy and athletic training and is therefore appropriate for the PT, PTA and AT.

This presentation will allow PT professionals to manage injuries in soccer athletes by understanding the demands of the sport, common injuries, and sport-specific rehabilitation. Functional testing for return to sport will also be addressed.This course is directly related to the practice of physical therapy and athletic training and is therefore appropriate for the PT/PTA and AT.

This course is a continuation of the course titled, "Yoga Therapeutics to Cultivate A Sustainable Core" We build on the evidence-based and anatomical foundation of the dynamic core and apply the clinical reasoning of progressing patients and athletes through therapeutic exercises. This course is directly related to the practice of physical therapy and athletic training and is appropriate for the PT,PTA and AT.

This course will educate participants on the effect of sleep deprivation on exercise and athletic performance, identification of barriers as well as possible solutions with appropriate sleep recommendations and implementation for athletes at various competition levels. The participants will be able to assess their own practice and make immediate recommendations to athletes and staff members regarding the sleep habits of competitive athletes. This course is directly related to the practice of physical therapy and athletic training and is therefore appropriate for the PT/PTA and AT.

The reformer is an effective tool for rehabilitating the lower body. This course will provide exercises appropriate for progressing lower extremity rehab from ankle injury, to post-op knees, to hip pain. Exercises focus on the concepts of motor control, stability/mobility system balance, movement competency and training functional movement patterning. This course is part three of our four part series on Pilates. This course is directly related to the practice of physical therapy and athletic training and therefore appropriate for the PT/PTA and AT.

This course will review current knowledge and issues regarding concussion diagnosis and management. I will highlight a multidisciplinary approach to rehabilitation of concussed patients with a focus on balance issues and early rehabilitation and exercise as a treatment modality. This course is directly related to the practice of physical therapy and athletic training and and is therefore appropriate for the PT/PTA and AT.

This presentation will provide an evidence­ based framework to approach working with runners across the injury to performance spectrum in order to migrate them out of the medical system and back to consistent and healthy training. This course is directly related to the practice of physical therapy and athletic training and is therefore appropriate for the PT/PTA and AT.

Epidemiological studies show an increase in ACL injuries in young adults along with an increase in revisions. This course is designed to challenge the clinician’s reliance on protocol driven rehabilitation and focus on patient centered progressions to build rapport, improve compliance, and potentially reduce re-injury risk. This course is directly related to the practice of physical therapy and athletic training and is therefore appropriate for the PT/PTA and AT.

This course is designed to provide increased understanding of injury prevention in the adolescent population by recognizing the unique qualities of this developmental phase and embracing a multi-factorial approach (biopsychosocial). The course will provide a biological and psychological review, injury statistics, risk factor identification, and strategies for prevention in the clinical setting. This course is directly related to the practice of physical therapy and athletic training and is therefore appropriate for the PT, PTA and AT.
