Full Course Description

Module 1: A Master Class in the Top Techniques

Traditional no-pain-no-gain interventions can be counterproductive, activating self-defense mechanisms that freeze muscles, compress nerves, sharpen pain, and diminish outcomes.

And when these “tried and true” treatments fail, clients can give up on therapy completely — leaving you questioning your effectiveness and worrying that your treatment techniques are out of date.

This master class recording will upgrade your skills and reinvigorate your practice with cutting-edge solutions you can immediately apply with the clients you treat each day.

Watch today’s leading experts as they share new techniques and tests that will allow you to identify orthopedic problems, prevent plateaus, reduce re-injury and enhance outcomes in fewer sessions than ever before! Built on today’s best practices, this program will show you how to better identify root causes of impairment and maximize results by combining multiple approaches, from the McKenzie Method® to technology-guided movement screening, IASTM, cupping, taping and exercise.

Best of all you’ll walk away with your Certificate in Orthopedic Rehabilitation, making you a go-to resource, and letting clients know that you’ve invested the time and effort to provide treatment at the highest level.

Don’t let your practice grow obsolete!

Confidently guide your next patient toward rapid improvements with today’s top methods in orthopedic rehabilitation.

Why All Painful Shoulders Are Impinged & the Evidence Behind Their Treatment

Are all painful shoulders impinged? And what do we mean when we use the term “impingement”?

Impingement is a widely-used term in clinical practice for treating shoulder pain. Occasionally the term is used as a diagnostic directive because it has a diagnosis code for administrative purposes. However, it is important to identify the difference between primary verses secondary impingement pathology.

In this recording, veteran speaker and therapist, Terry Trundle, pinpoints why all hypo-mobile shoulder disorders are impinged and a functional formula for treatment for all phases of recovery. The evidence-based data of the presentation will explain, as Mr. Trundle states, “how much to do without doing too little and avoiding doing too much while understanding the evidence of application between these two points."

Avoid Overuse Foot & Ankle Injuries: Uncovering the Etiology & How to Treat It

If you work with athletes, then you know they are a high risk for developing overuse injuries to the foot and ankle. To help your patients avoid such injuries, learn from renowned therapist, speaker, and author Robert Donatelli, PT, PhD, as he uncovers the etiology of such injuries and shares his knowledge of how to treat them when they occur. Dr. Donatelli examines multiple lower extremity dysfunctions, including hip muscle weakness, patella tendinitis, Achilles tendinopathy, shin splints, soleus syndrome, iliotibial band friction syndrome, plantar fasciitis, stress fractures, and abnormal foot mechanics.

This dynamic recording will give you proper evaluation methods and treatment techniques, such as foot orthotic interventions and the importance of eccentric strengthening to return athletes back to their sport.
