Faculty: Ruth Sova, MS, ATRIC

COURSE DESCRIPTION:

We get stuck in a rut using the same exercises for almost all patients but what can we do? There are only a finite number of moves the body can perform. This workshop will help anyone with a heavy patient load especially if working with varied abilities and issues. The SCRAMBLED acronym will be taught, which makes the work easy. It’s simple to apply while writing or creating a protocol, for poolside when looking for a modification or progression, or for working groups at different levels.

2) Expand your exercise toolbox

3) Always have a new or alternative exercise for your clients at your fingertips
