(Cohort Learning Series Session 2) Simplifying Performance
Rehab: Sport-Specific Progressions
Presented by Nate Denning and Phil Plisky
Description
Progressing an injured athlete back into performance and sport can be challenging. This introductory webinar addresses this industry gap by providing rehabilitation providers and strength and conditioning specialists with the practical skills to build strength and power performance programs for athletes with upper extremity injuries. Participants will build their own program and receive comparison feedback based on the lecturer's programming. This course will also highlight how to incorporate specific return-to-sport progressions, such as a baseball pitcher's return-to-throw program.
This webinar provides relevant content for a broad range of disciplines, specifically Physical Therapy, Occupational Therapy, Athletic Training, and Strength and Conditioning.
