About this Event
Cayuga Medical Center’s continuing education series has grown out of our well-respected Residency Program to meet the needs of clinicians looking for high-quality training offered here in the Northeastern US. Our teaching faculty includes physical therapists and athletic trainers with advanced training and subspecialty certification. Several of our instructors also teach in the physical therapy program at Ithaca College.
This course covers skeletal muscle physiology and the adaptations that occur following goal specific training. This course will focus on understanding the energy systems utilized during physical activity, creating goal/sport oriented programs, the principals of periodization, and application of these principles to an outpatient setting. Students will also learn how to perform, instruct, and modify basic Olympic lifts, plyometric movements, and commonly employed exercise techniques. There will be a focus on scaling exercises to meet the needs of injured and low functioning individuals up to high level athletes, as well as rehabilitation of post-surgical/common orthopedic injuries. Finally, there will be a review of manual therapy techniques to help facilitate and improve functional and athletic performance. This course will be instructed through online lectures, live lectures, discussions, and lab.
