Please Note: Participants may want to bring
goggles to view under water hand-holds.
Prerequisite: Participants should only attend if
they have a working knowledge of equipment placement and hand-holds used in the
Bad Ragaz Method.
COURSE DESCRIPTION:
Practitioners of the Bad Ragaz
Method will learn treatment patterns for specific muscle activation and/or
inhibition for back rehabilitation. We will examine select BR Patterns to
determine the quality and coordination of the muscle chain performance. Then,
learn to quickly assess the areas of weakness and to develop a Bad Ragaz
treatment plan based on the client's specific back condition (fusion, spinal
stenosis, scolosis, kyphosis, arthritis spondylithothesesis, strain, trauma).
BR Treatment utilizing isometric, istotonic and isokinetic patterns will be
implemented to inhibit, stabilize, facilitate, strengthen and improve range of
motion of the back musculature. The Bad Ragaz aquatic therapy is to be used in
conjunction with other rehabilitation therapies for the best functional
outcomes.
COURSE
OBJECTIVES:
1) Assess for poor quality of movement, weakness and pain in and relating to the back utilizing known Bad Ragaz Trunk Patterns, and then learn how to select appropriate BR Treatment for specific back conditions.
2) Examine indications pertaining to client positioning and equipment selection.
3) Determine facilitation and inhibition of the back muscles utilizing Bad Ragaz Treatment Patterns.
