Additional Information

It is now estimated that one-third of the United States population has reported having a musculoskeletal disease. With the prevalence of this disease continuing to grow, it is important that therapists are equipped to positively impact quality of life and function for these patients. While exercise prescriptions are a very important component of treatment, it is also critical that we understand the positive and negative impact nutrition, diet and medications can play in the progressions of patient outcomes. Gaining an understanding in this area will promote the best treatment plan possible for improving pain, posture and function.

This relevant, one-day workshop will focus on a comprehensive approach to effectively treating common musculoskeletal disease. Participants will review the latestresearch, biology as well as common patient populations at risk for these diseases. Nutrition, diet and the digestive process will be analyzed so that we can gain an understanding of how we can play a positive role in this area. Pharmacological considerations will be evaluated to help participants recognize how these can effect exercise treatment. Participants will leave having the best practices for assessment and treatment of patients with arthritis, osteoporosis and osteopenia. Participants will take away exercise and strengthening considerations that will promote functional improvement for pain, posture, flexibility and overallquality of life.

i feel like she was teaching us about eating healthy instead of teaching me how to teach patients "make sure you eat those mushrooms" very patronizing

i do not think this course always presented the most accurate information in terms of cardiac health and diet. i do also think there was some push to evaluate medications with the patient that is out of the scope of a physical therapist.

1.really appreciate how jennifer integrated exercise and diet (especially naturally occurring minerals and vitamins) with importance of both. 2, she provided the research to justify use of these - provides comfort in advising patients and making personal life-style changes.
