If you are interested in organizing a lecture or attending one of Karen’s next lectures, please e-mail her at korlando@procarerehab.ca.
'Beyond Bands' course with Karen Orlando is a newly developed updated course for 2011. It presents all the latest research and is a follow-up to the original Bands, Balls & Balance course.
Beyond Bands - March 3, 2012 |
Beyond Bands is designed to give the therapist that 'extra edge' in solving clinical conditions in their practice. It will improve clinical rehabilitation skills of the Physical Therapists and Athletic Trainers using a scientific evidence-based approach. The main goal of the course is to improve clinical effectiveness using inexpensive and readily available equipment.
This course combines 50% lecture with 50% hands-on training in prescribing resistive and balance training using the latest tools in elastic resistance and proprioception training.
In addition, this course introduces European concepts of functional exercise and integrates with American, Australian, and Scandinavian concepts. It provides hundreds of ideas for exercise interventions for upper body, lower body, and spine and has immediate application of new techniques and progressive exercise progressions into clinical practice.
It is being taught at Sick Kids Hospital on Nov. 5, 2011. Please contact Dorothy Kim at dorothy.kim@sickkids.ca if you are interested in attending. There are a few spots still open. Or phone (416) 813-6755.
