“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.
