Description

Most clinicians have extensive arsenals of treatment protocols they can use to address their patients’ needs. But new information and new treatment options are published every day. Keeping up can feel like a full-time job. Or, you can take this 5-hour course in which Dr. Carole Lewis synthesizes the latest treatment research for older adults and breaks it down into the most clinically relevant options for physical and occupational therapists to use when treating older adults who have issues with posture, flexibility, balance, endurance or strength.
