The Salzman Matrix: Combining Cognitive & Motor Tasks with Purpose
Presented by Andrea Salzman, MS, PT
Live WebinarFri, Feb 27, 2026 at 12:00 pm EST
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.

New Insights in Flexibility Training: What Healthcare Professionals Should Know!
Presented by Scott Cheatham, PhD, DPT, OCS, ATC, CSCS
Recorded Webinar
Course: #5334Level: Intermediate2 Hours
Over the past decade, there has been emerging research that provides new insight into flexibility training. Researchers have provided updated evidence on the efficacy of popular flexibility techniques such as self-myofascial rolling, static stretching, and dynamic stretching. This new evidence has created suggested guidelines for integrated pre-exercise warm-up, post-exercise cool-down, and dedicated flexibility training sessions. This presentation is for the professional who desires an evidence-based update on flexibility training.
