COURSE DESCRIPTION:
PNF is the
perfect solution for deficits in balance, co-ordination, and range of motion.
Find out why as you challenge yourself with a series of original
spiral-diagonal combinations. Specific applications will be provided for
persons with Parkinson’s, CVA, Fibromyalgia, Multiple Sclerosis,
post-mastectomy and total knee replacement. Experience the exceptional results
of PNF in the pool in small group and one-on-one applications.
COURSE OBJECTIVES:
1) Review the fundamentals of PNF movement patterns for the
upper and lower extremities
2) Maximize the benefits of PNF in the aquatic environment
3) Outline common deficits of Parkinson’s, post-mastectomy,
CVA, Fibromyalgia, MS, and TKR
4)
Determine how to use PNF patterns to improve balance, co-ordination and range
of motion
5) Examine
specific PNF solutions for these special populations and how to overcome common
obstacles to progression
