Joint Therapy for Athletes (Recorded Webinar)
This course is a recording of a previously hosted live webinar event. Polling and question submission features are not available for this recording. Format and structure may differ from those of standard MedBridge courses.
Athletic populations encounter high external loads to joints and repeated stress to specific areas of joint capsules, causing joint dysfunction and pain. Practitioners need to be aware of current evidence in the treatment of joint dysfunction and how to apply it for improved outcomes with active populations.
Join us for this joint therapy webinar for physical therapists and athletic trainers whose patients primarily consist of active populations. The webinar will review an evidence-based protocol to improve joint range of motion in stiff joints and a systematic approach to newly created joint stability interventions that address specific goals with unstable joints. These techniques provide customized patient care and injury prevention in joints involved in activities that challenge joint stability or cause stiffness to specific areas of joint capsules. This webinar will review relevant literature, provide video demonstrations of physical tests and treatment interventions, and conclude with summaries compiling essential and applicable information.
