Description

Awaken your practice and your own well-being through yoga and mindfulness – a perfect complement to your treatment toolbox to assist in treating cardiopulmonary, neurological, orthopedic, and immune-compromised body systems.

In this interactive live webcast, Betsy Shandalov, OTR/L, C-IAYT will show you how to integrate yoga poses and mindfulness techniques seated, standing, and lying down. Borrowing from 20 years of incorporating these practices into her therapy sessions, she’ll show you how you can use them in a variety of settings.

Watch breakthroughs in your treatment of multiple sclerosis, cancer, cerebral palsy, spinal cord injury, asthma, ADD/ADHD, Autism, and many other conditions with customizable, evidence-based plans, so you can see faster yet lasting results. By doing so, you pass along tools patients can continue to incorporate beyond therapy, making them happier and healthier. Finally, learn how to code these therapy sessions for best reimbursement practices.

Come away feeling refreshed and energized to incorporate these new tools not only in your practice but in your life. Those feelings of being stressed and overwhelmed at work or with patients will soon make way for more compassion and more mindful listening so you can assess dysfunctions earlier and treat more effectively.

Designed for all skill levels, so no experience in yoga is necessary to integrate its benefits with your patients.

Sign up today to ignite your practice and renew your well-being in this unique and interactive live webcast.
