STEP-1: Shoulder and Elbow (Wilson, North Carolina)
14 Oct 2023 - 15 Oct 2023
In this course, the participant will learn exercise techniques for biomechanical and neurological conditions, including joint restriction, motor control deficits, and athletic function. Emphasis on exercise concepts of dosage, design, and progression will allow the clinician to develop their own rehabilitation programs for the shoulder and elbow. The extensive curriculum taught in the STEP series has a foundation in advanced manual therapy education. Its origin is from the Norwegian School of MTT or MET (Medical Training Therapy / Medical Exercise Therapy). With over 50 years of clinical application, these courses are designed to teach the clinician to think—designing their own exercises, or modifying classic ones, to specifically address each impairment of the patient. Current principles in work physiology and clinical evidence guide the participants on a path to critical thinking that empowers clinicians to create, rather than reproduce. Don't learn a list of exercises, learn how to design an unlimited list of movement-based solutions. Exercise to mobilize joints/fascia, resolve pain and muscle guarding, elevate abnormal movement patterns, combine cervical programs with scapular and upper quarter training. Learn to answer questions for dosage on all variables associated with exercise prescription: resistance (concentric, eccentric, isometric), repetitions, sets, rest, speed, range, and frequency.
