Pre and Post Op Leading Edge Total Joint Arthroplasty: Corrective Exercises and Manual Therapy Interventions
Course Description
Total Joint Arthroplasty is growing at an extraordinary rate! The rehabilitation today is significantly different than even 5 years ago! The emergence of same day surgery and a younger more active patient is the new normal. Today’s patient demands a higher level of intervention from their rehabilitation clinician to facilitate a faster and more functional return to their desired activities and a clinical outcome that is above industry standards!
This 2-hour course will totally enhance each attendee’s knowledge no matter what practice setting you work in. The traditional therapeutic exercises are outdated and manual therapy is currently not the norm. To maximize the all-important patient satisfaction a rehab clinician will need to “UPGRADE” their skill set. This course will equip the rehab clinician with an impairment based pre-hab algorithm to ensure the total joint patient is ready for their new total joint. In this course each attendee will learn leading edge functional corrective therapeutic exercises for all total joint patients as well as multi plane unique manual therapy techniques.
