Promoting Geriatric Performance & Posture - Norwalk CA

Description: Regardless of reason (aging, injury, central nervous system dysfunction, fatigue and even fear) poor posture and structural alignment leads to decreased performance, function, pain and falls. Promoting Geriatric Performance and Posture Through Key Joint Mobilization and Stabilization Activities is a one day, interactive seminar designed to enhance the ability of clinicians to treat older patients with various disease processes in improving mobility, posture and ultimately function. Utilizing a joint by joint approach of addressing either mobility or stability deficits the clinician will treat the entire patient from a postural standpoint using a holistic approach of joint mobilization, PROM and stretching, therapeutic activities designed to mobilize the patient in weight bearing and reflexively stabilize them in functional movement patterns. Follow-up strength and proprioceptive training to improve motor learning will be added.

The participant will leave this course with a progressive, safe, and thorough understanding of evidence-based approaches to basic postural…
