Ivy Education: ACL Injuries, Rehab, and Return to Sports Considerations
Description: Despite significant surgical advancements in and effort paid to ACL-injured patients, rates of secondary ACL injury remain very high in athletic patient populations. This course is a comprehensive summary of the current state of ACL injures and post-ACLR care. Primary focus of the course is to consider how ACL anatomy, healing after ACLR, assessment of physical strength and function, and known injury mechanisms and correlates can be utilized in order to make the best determination of readiness to return to sport after ACLR.
This course is appropriate for PTs, PTAs, PAs, and ATCs, who manage care and advise on activity clearance for these patients after surgery. Through the material covered in the course, attendees will have a thorough understanding on managing the post-ACLR athlete through a structured protocol of exercise and training towards criteria-based functional tests in order to minimize risk for secondary ACL injury to either knee.

Great Lakes Seminars: Mobilization of the Cervical and Thoracic Spine and Ribs
Description: Many clinicians lack a structured approach to treat dysfunctions involving the neck, shoulders and upper thoracic spine, while often overlooking rib cage involvement. This course will give you a strong foundation to treat these areas as well as an understanding of where to look next if you’re not getting the desired outcome with your spine patients.
We make a complicated region of the body simple to diagnose and treat, giving you a wide array of treatment approaches to choose from that best fit your patients’ needs. Techniques include Muscle Energy Technique (MET) and direct articulations to the cervical and thoracic spine and ribs. All course material is evidence-based and every technique is repeated multiple times until you feel comfortable and confident. When you leave this class, you’ll walk away with a straightforward, yet comprehensive foundation for treatment of the neck, upper back and ribs.
As with all our manual therapy courses, this course is at least 75% hands-on lab, and will give you skills you can use immediately upon returning to the clinic.
