S-921 Advanced Concepts for the Overhead Athlete = 14 hours

Overhead athletes require special characteristics to allow them the mobility and stability to perform their sport. There are considerable anatomical and biomechanical kinetic chain concepts that professionals must understand to treat these athletes appropriately. The normal upper quarter function is dependent on controlled and sequenced motion of all its component parts. Additionally, in overhead sports, coordination from the lower quarter plays a major role in setting up the upper quarter to perform properly.

In this course, you will learn anatomical and biomechanical considerations of the entire kinetic chain in detail, along with extensive lab time for mastering evaluation and treatment skills. All overhead sports will be touched on and subtle difference reviewed. Video analysis, breakdown of the pitcher’s mechanics, and live demonstration of an overhead athlete evaluation will be incorporated into this course.

Running is a complex biomechanical process which can be derailed by pelvic floor dysfunction. Conversely, the impact of running can result in pelvic floor dysfunction and injury to the pelvic floor muscles. Runners have unique physical, nutritional, and psychological needs that require special attention from pelvic floor physical therapists. Additionally, runners often present to orthopedic specialists with knee and hip injuries that do not resolve as expected due to the presence of pelvic floor impairments that are missed by orthopedic physical therapists. Pelvic floor practitioners can provide necessary physical therapy treatment to address issues for runners and work in tandem with orthopedic colleagues for optimal rehabilitation of runners with pelvic floor dysfunction.

Developed for physical therapists and athletic trainers alike, Day 1 focuses on assessment and examination of the upper quarter joints, then moves into a hands-on, lab-based demonstration of the most commonly used manual therapy techniques for treating spinal and extremity disorders in this population. Participants will learn the systematic process of prepping a thrower for their start date — including the rationale behind each procedure — and explore how a thorough understanding of throwing biomechanics can inform provisional diagnoses for cervical, thoracic, and lumbar disorders. Day 2 shifts to shoulder care and recovery, and addresses the role that analytics, wearable technology, and workload monitoring play in managing the physical and biomechanical demands placed on these athletes. By the conclusion of the course, participants will have the confidence and clinical framework needed to manage the challenges faced by this unique population.
