Description

Timeless arts to enhance rehab

Positioning of extremities and joints for safe and beneficial yoga practice is also key for therapeutic exercises in rehabilitation. Yoga will help therapists utilize optimal cues to facilitate movement, strength, posture, and balance. You know the anatomy so this course will enable you to apply more of it to maximize your outcomes. Remember, it's our verbal cues, manual contacts, modifications, and use of props that produce optimal results and demonstrate skilled intervention!

This active, lab-based course will be both challenging and relaxing, simple and complex. It is appropriate for therapists in any setting and content is applicable to patients of all ages, diagnosis groups, and impairments.
