Presented by: Samantha Wood (BASI Associate Faculty)

This certified three-day course presents a physical therapy approach for working with clients who have injuries, physical limitations, or movement dysfunctions. Focusing primarily on the cervical and lumbar spine, shoulder, hip, knee, ankle, and foot, the course covers functional anatomy, biomechanics, and a review of current literature. Specific injuries and pathologies are examined, such as disc disease, post-surgical conditions, rotator cuff syndrome, tendinopathies, and osteoarthritis. Students will learn about precautions and/or contraindications for these conditions, as well as exercise options and modifications to the original BASI Pilates repertoire. Course participants will learn safe ways to work with clients suffering from some of the most common pathologies and injuries through lectures, discussions, demonstrations, and practice.

This program is PMA approved for 18 CECs.
