Overview

The care of performers presents unique challenges to the clinicians in managing the patient's physical, psychological, and ergonomic factors that lead to injury and dysfunction. In a population that relies on their ability to skillfully move their bodies for their livelihoods, therapeutic outcomes are especially crucial. This course offers an introduction to the many facets of management for the performer, including relevant health issues, risk factors, prevention, pain science, the Alexander Technique, neuromuscular activation in dancers, and more.  Participants will review and demonstrate proficiency in the use of current best evidence in regards to manual therapy, intervention techniques, and thrust and non-thrust joint  mobilization techniques, in the treatment of common performance injuries.
