As therapists you can expand your critical thinking skills by adding yoga, an ancient treatment philosophy that draws on all of our knowledge of anatomy, physiology, and psychology, to maximize client function. There are now yoga studios in nearly every city and people are raving about the changes in their bodies and minds because of yoga’s healing qualities.
This interactive seminar will draw on your knowledge of anatomy and physiology and use yoga techniques to enhance your treatment plans for clients with diagnoses such as cerebral palsy, multiple sclerosis and neurological disorders, spinal cord injury, cancer and many other orthopedic disorders. You will learn a new way of using props and equipment to assist your clients and enhance their therapeutic outcomes. In group break-out sessions, you will problem solve with other health professionals on how to maximize function through yoga postures for each of your clients in a range of settings.
Health care professionals are challenged to find new ways to educate clients about their bodies and provide treatment plans across a variety of settings. More than ever before, the current climate in health care limits the number of visits and demands more of therapists. This exciting course is a must for therapists of any level wishing to expand their treatment tool kit. Bring yoga as a therapeutic modality to your clients today!
This online program is worth 6.25 hours CPD.
