Taping for the Lower Extremity
This course provides practical lower-extremity taping strategies you can use right away in the clinic. You’ll learn both rigid (McConnell-style) and elastic kinesiology taping techniques to help reduce pain, improve movement, and support healing. We’ll focus on common conditions you see every week, including patellofemoral pain syndrome (PFPS), plantar fasciitis, shin pain, and lower extremity tendon issues. You’ll also learn effective arch support taping and how taping can help guide alignment and offload irritated tissues. Designed for both new and experienced clinicians, this course builds confidence in your taping skills while helping you think through when, why, and how to use each technique for the greatest impact in rehab and performance care.

Managing Spasticity and Tone in SCI Rehabilitation
This course breaks down the science behind why spasticity develops after spinal cord injury, how to measure it accurately, and what the evidence says about treating it. Along the way we will challenge common clinical assumptions and build a practical framework for deciding when to treat, when to hold back, and how to work effectively with the rest of the interdisciplinary team for better patient outcomes. Whether you are new to SCI rehabilitation or looking to sharpen your clinical reasoning, participants will leave with a practical outcome measure battery, an evidence-based intervention framework, and a working knowledge of pharmacological and interventional options directly relevant to their practice.

Chronic Pain Management Through Aquatic Therapy
Discover evidence-based strategies for integrating aquatic therapy into chronic pain management. 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.

The Role of PT in Treating the Cardiac Patient in the Home
This 2‑hour webinar is designed to equip home health PTs and PTAs with practical skills to manage adults recovering from CABG, valve surgery, MI/stent, and heart failure in the home setting. Participants will review typical post‑hospital recovery trajectories, learn to perform focused cardiac assessments (including vitals, orthostatics, and symptom monitoring), and apply clear red‑flag criteria to guide safe “go/no‑go” decisions in non‑monitored environments. The course emphasizes designing and progressing symptom‑limited exercise and functional mobility programs using tools such as RPE, talk test, and functional outcome measures, while integrating patient and caregiver education on daily self‑monitoring, pacing, and lifestyle strategies to support cardiac stability and reduce readmissions.
