COURSE DESCRIPTION:
Orthopedic Total Body Approach is an integrated approach for Flexibility, Resistance, ROM, Endurance and Cardiovascular re-conditioning through recognizing and addressing problems with the articulations, alignment, muscular imbalances, and neuromuscular inefficiencies that cause pain, and for the prevention of body mechanics that can cause incorrect function.
Rather than addressing just feet, knees, hips, lumbar and
cervical spine, and shoulders (although we’ll address those) we will approach
the body as a whole. This course takes a comprehensive approach to specific
flexibility, resistance and ROM progressions to allow clients to progress and
adapt to proper function without painful limitations. We will explore the
necessary components of total body conditioning, address the individual’s
muscle imbalances (from guarding, injury or surgery), and enable clients to
elicit non-painful movement.
Do you work with clients who have dysfunction from injury,
biomechanics, underuse or overuse injuries, de-conditioned muscles and
joints, repetitive action, postural alignment, and muscular imbalances that
cause additional neuromuscular inefficiencies? This course will address
those issues in a specific and total-system mix, and through evaluating
the kinetic chain, we will promote neuromuscular efficiency and prevent or
manage the orthopedic injury cycle.
Needs identification:
With the increase of baby boomers with orthopedic
problems, aquatic therapy professionals would want to take this course to
update them on effective techniques and methods to reduce pain and
increase strength through an integrated total body approach. This course
will enable attendees to provide a synergistic approach to orthopedic issues
resulting in optimal kinetic chain performance.
COURSE OBJECTIVES:
At the conclusion of the course, participants will be able
to:
1. Determine what an individual needs to manage a specific
problem.
2. Assess neuromuscular inefficiencies and muscular imbalances.
3. Create and supervise an exercise program, which addresses
the problem and conditions the whole body.
FACULTY: Maryanne Haggerty, MS, has been educating professionals, individuals, and groups
on safe and effective exercise for 25 years. As a faculty member and presenter
for TSI, NASM, AEA, and AFAA, she has certified professionals. Promoting
exercise for all abilities, Maryanne has presented televised exercise segments
on aquatics. She has developed corporate wellness seminars and six-month home
exercise program progressions.
