Thera-Band® Academy has partnered with PT and PTA schools to provide a one-day workshop for physical therapists and PTAs as a fund-raiser for their students. The evidence-based course, titled “Beyond Bands: Evidence-based Progression of Elastic and Proprioceptive Exercises,” is practical and hands-on with 60% lab, 40% lecture. Proceeds from each course go back to students at sponsor schools to support their own initiatives, including the Foundation for Physical Therapy’s Miami-Marquette Challenge.

“Beyond Bands” is an evidence-based practical workshop that provides clinically relevant therapeutic exercise progressions. Using inexpensive and readily available equipment, this workshop will help improve clinical decision-making and problem solving skills for physical therapists and physical therapist assistants at all levels. This intensive workshop includes lecture and hands-on lab activities using progressive elastic resistance and progressive proprioception exercises using exercise balls, and balance training devices. Participants will learn the scientific basis for impairment-based exercise progressions including state of the art EMG analysis and proper patient positioning for appropriately-dosed exercise prescription. Participants will improve their clinical decision making and take away immediate clinical applications based on the latest research from around the world.
