The training was held in conjunction with a European Distributor meeting. The purpose of the meeting was to provide hands-on workshops on Thera-Band products in rehabilitation and sports. New participants were certified as Thera-Band Academy instructors, while veteran participants participated in advanced workshops led by master trainers Sue Falsone, Nadja Schott, Suzanne Lingitz, and Jurgen Foerster. In addition to becoming certified to teach the Academy’s international evidence-based workshop, “Bands, Balls and Balance,” new trainers also learned how to use the new Thera-Band Stretch Strap to improve flexibility and range of motion from sports rehabilitation expert, Sue Falsone of Athletes Performance.
At the end of the meeting, awards were given to the top-performing instructors over the past year based on the number of workshops they provide, as well as educational and research contributions.
