Description

This course offers information and demonstration of how to utilize manual facilitation techniques for rehabilitation of orthopedic injuries and ADLs during stroke recovery to enhance proprioceptive and kinesthetic awareness, muscular strength or sports-specific training. Discover how PNF strengthening and stretching techniques are “Superior” to any other technique, heals tissue through natural movement, extends relative ROM beyond perceived limits, addresses poor movement compensation strategies that limit daily activities and leads to cascading joint instability along kinetic chains. (Intermediate Level)
• Facilitate functional movement patterns and ROM after Total joint replacement, ACL reconstruction or rotator cuff repair and other orthopedic or neurological diagnosis • Improve gait stability, joint mobility and motor recruitment for daily living skills • Design neuromuscular treatment plans to enhance muscle function and proprioceptive awareness
