Activity Overview:
Enhance your clinical skills with Joint Mobilization, a comprehensive course designed specifically for athletic trainers looking to improve joint function, mobility, and injury recovery. This course provides a systematic approach to assessing and applying joint mobilization techniques, helping you optimize athlete performance and rehabilitation outcomes.
Through high-quality video demonstrations and expert-led instruction, you’ll gain a deeper understanding of joint biomechanics and how to apply mobilization techniques safely and effectively. Learn how to restore normal movement, reduce pain, and improve range of motion in key joints such as the shoulder, hip, knee, and ankle—all critical for preventing injuries and accelerating recovery in athletes.
The course also covers indications, contraindications, and progression strategies to ensure that your treatment plans are evidence-based and tailored to each athlete’s needs. Whether you’re working with post-injury rehabilitation or performance enhancement, these skills will help you deliver better results and keep your athletes performing at their best.
Target Audience: Athletic Trainers
