Evidence Based Interventions for Contracture Management
In this program we’ll discuss the origin of contractures and the goals of treating them. The program will also cover the “Low Load Prolonged Stretch” approach to resolving contractures. Finally, there will be a discussion on treatment protocols to effectively manage contractures to optimize outcomes and restore better functional range of motion.
After taking this course, the practitioner will:
- Understand the origin of contractures and how muscles work at the cellular level.
- Be able to Restore a better functional range of motion.
- Be able to implement the Low Load Prolonged Stretch approach to controlling contractures.
- Learn to determine the treatment protocols to effectively manage contractures to optimize outcomes.
