Managing the Orthopedic Patient: Loading & Progressing for Success

Course Description

How many clinicians feel limited in progressing the orthopedic patient to optimal levels? Whether it be fitness, function, or something else, several practical limitations exist in challenging the orthopedic patient to levels needed to reach their long-term goals. This course is designed to add to your skill set through adjusting variables beyond sets, reps, clinic set-up, and best practices in coaching and cueing. This course will guide you to properly load and progress the orthopedic patient through mobility, stability, strength, power, endurance, speed, and performance whether on the field or in the home.
