Functional Strength Training: The Squat

Description

*This webinar is scheduled for 7:00 PM ET / 4:00PM PT (Adjust for your time zone)

In the realm of physical therapy, the concept of functional strength training has gained significant recognition as an essential component of rehabilitation, injury prevention, and performance enhancement. Functional strength training emphasizes exercises that mimic real-life movements and activities, aiming to improve overall functional capacity and movement quality. The squat is arguably one of the two most functional components of everyday life. There is a pressing need for physical therapists to acquire specialized knowledge and skills in functional strength training, and most physical therapists’ education inadequately prepares them to coach the squat for a wide range of individuals.
