INCLUDED IN THIS BOOK

1 Blood Flow Restriction Training: Understanding the Safety, Mechanisms, and Efficacy, 2nd Edition [4 contact hours] Blood flow restriction training (BFRT) is an exercise technique that is transforming how we prescribe exercises therapy. By partially restricting blood flow to the muscles using specialized cuffs or bands, BFRT offers a range of benefits from muscle activation to advanced rehab training. Discover the benefits of blood flow restriction training with this course. From increasing muscle activation and muscle growth to enhancing strength and endurance. BFRT can even help reduce pain. BFRT is a science-based approach—over 800 articles published in the last 10 years—that can be safely prescribed to diverse populations from young to old, from patients to athletes. 9 Move Better, Feel Better: A Movement-Based Approach to Soft Tissue Mobilization for the Lower Body [5 contact hours] This course provides learners with an evidence-based approach to combining instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization (IASTM), cupping, and kinesiology taping on the lower extremities. By focusing on how this technique can stimulate the central nervous system (CNS), clinicians can help reduce pain, enhance mobility, and improve occupational performance. 19 Management of Sports-Related Concussions: Staying Ahead of the Game, 2nd Edition [4 contact hours] Concussions continue to be a serious epidemic in youth and competitive sports. With approximately 1.6 million to 3.8 million sports-related concussions occurring every year, these injuries are considered among the most complex injuries in sports medicine to diagnosis, assess, and manage. The instructor will provide an overarching review of the recent literature, including the 6th International Conference on Concussion in Sport, as it pertains to concussion management from prevention techniques to reducing the risk of injury to returning to play after a concussive episode. The modules within this course include an introduction to concussions, recognition and sideline evaluation, clinical evaluation, neuropsychological testing, rehabilitation techniques, and academic modifications. As the literature and practice guidelines/recommendations are reviewed, participants will be able to assess their current practice to make appropriate modifications to their own concussion management plan. The mission of this course is to provide a concise resource on how to properly manage concussions from risk reduction techniques, acute injuries, and return to play by implementing a multimodal process and enhancing multidisciplinary communication to keep the athlete at the forefront of care. 27 ACL Rehabilitation: A Review of Current Treatment Approaches [4 contact hours] This course provides a comprehensive review of current approaches to ACL (anterior cruciate ligament) rehabilitation. It covers the latest evidence on surgical reconstruction techniques, graft choices, functional bracing, neuromuscular training, and return-to-play decision making. The course emphasizes the importance of evidence-based practice and staying current with the evolving literature in ACL rehabilitation. Participants will learn about early rehabilitation protocols, specific exercises and techniques, functional testing methods, and how to incorporate psychological readiness into return- to-sport decisions. The course includes case studies and self-assessment questions to reinforce key concepts.
