Pediatric Application of Focal and Whole-Body Vibration

Vibration therapy has been used to treat a vast range of comorbidities associated with diagnoses of Cerebral Palsy, Duchene Muscular Dystrophy, Down Syndrome, and more. Even a single treatment can improve function! One study says it may even become a potent supplement or alternative for neuromuscular electrical stimulation; (Feltroni et al., 2018).

In addition to this, over 100 million scars are acquired annually, 70% of those being in pediatric clients. This course will teach you how to objectively assess a scar appearance and adhesion severity, as well as treat it with vibration therapy and elastic therapeutic tape. Shake it up by learning how to promote function in your clients through these cost effective, evidencebased strategies using focal and whole- body vibration!
