Optimizing Lower Extremity Exercise Interventions: An Evidence-Based Approach

Are you tired of using the same exercises in most of your lower extremity patient programs? Do you want to both increase your understanding and implementation of lower extremity exercise programs and the level of care you give your patients? Come expand your understanding and repertoire of lower extremity exercise interventions in this course. 

 

In this 1-day course, we create a framework for exercises that emphasize improving mobility of the LE joints, re-education of stabilizing muscles and progressive overload to restore normal function in your patient. You will leave this course with an abundance of new exercises to choose from, along with a greater understanding of why and when to choose each. 

 

Give your lower extremity patients the effective exercise intervention they deserve! This is a lab-based course. Please make sure to wear appropriate attire and keep moving during class!
