COURSE DESCRIPTION: We will discuss soft tissue injuries associated with common orthopedic
diagnoses. Learn degrees of joint stability and when and how to begin aquatic
mobilization to assist recovery. Explore basic muscle testing assessments and
follow muscle chain choreography. The instruction is a progressive hands-on
approach both on land and in the pool. Learn skills to observe, feel, and
mobilize restricted tissues, using aquatic techniques that promote increased
circulation of blood and fluids, thus increasing tissue elasticity and joint
mobility.
COURSE OBJECTIVES:
1) Experience
hands-on instruction in a warm water pool to learn and practice direct and
indirect myofascial techniques specifically adapted
for use in aquatic therapy.
2) Study the
effects of using immersion to assist in diagnoses and trace the pathways of myofascial disturbances in the body.
3) Recognize
weakened joint stabilizers and how to improve muscle balance through the
practice of aquatic myofascial techniques.
4) Demonstrate
knowledge and the use of, turbulence, vibration, aquatic elongation and stretch
techniques, buoyancy-assisted and resisted mobilizations.
5) Perform
hands-on aquatic myofascial mobilizations for tissues
involved with FSS, TKR, ACL, THR and ankle sprains.
