Performance Health, through their Thera-Band Academy, is sponsoring an evidence-based practical workshop for rehabilitation professionals around the US beginning this fall. Participants will improve their clinical decision making and take away immediate clinical applications based on the latest research on therapeutic exercise.

Akron, OH (PRWEB) September 25, 2012

Using inexpensive and readily available equipment, the workshop will help improve clinical decision-making and problem solving skills for rehabilitation professionals at all levels including athletic trainers, physical and occupational therapists, as well as PTAs and COTAs. The intensive workshop includes lecture and hands-on lab activities using progressive elastic resistance and progressive proprioception exercises using exercise balls and balance training devices. Participants will learn the scientific basis for impairment-based exercise progressions including state of the art EMG analysis and proper patient positioning for appropriately-dosed exercise prescription. This updated course also includes hands-on applications for flexibility and soft tissue mobilization. Participants will improve their clinical decision making and take away immediate clinical applications.

Evidence-based practice is a very common mantra among rehabilitation professionals today. Over 12 years ago, the Thera-Band Academy was formed to help link evidence to practice, by establishing a comprehensive database of research that supports commonly-used products in the clinic such as resistance bands and exercise balls. In addition to having evidence, its important to share that evidence with other rehabilitation professionals through continuing education such as this, stated Dr. Phil Page, Director of Clinical Education and Research for Performance Health. We are pleased to work with CIAO Seminars to deliver this in an economical and accessible manner to rehabilitation therapists around the US.
