OVERVIEW
Utilizing Pilates Principles to Enhance Rehabilitation Outcomes is organized by Healthclick and will be held during Mar 17 - 18, 2018 at San Ramon Regional Medical Center, San Ramon, California, United States of America. This CME Conference has been approved for a maximum of 15 hours of CME credits.
Course Description:
This two-day course is designed to help medical professionals gain basic knowledge of Pilates theory and principles and be able to integrate it into their rehabilitation programs. The core stabilizing muscles will be reviewed, as well as how core stabilization is important to functional activities and activities of daily living. The lab portion will be devoted to learning, properly executing, and cueing Pilates mat exercises. Small apparatus, including foam rolls, Swiss balls, and rings, will be used during lab exercises for modifications and advancements.
Application of the Pilates principles and exercises will be discussed for orthopedic, neurologic, and geriatric patient populations. Further discussion of case studies and current research will demonstrate how a Pilates-based treatment program can help improve core stabilization, balance, coordination, postural awareness, strength, flexibility, and mobility. Upon completion of this course, the clinician will be able to immediately integrate their knowledge in the clinical setting to provide a Pilates-based treatment program to the orthopedic, neurologic, and/or geriatric patient for improved functional outcomes.
Course Objectives:
• Demonstrate an understanding of the history and evolution of Pilates.
• Describe the principles of Pilates and their applications.
• Understand the benefits of Pilates specifically in the rehabilitation setting.
• Actively demonstrate and teach basic Pilates mat exercises that can be implemented in the rehabilitation setting.
• Enhance functional outcomes by utilizing Pilates principles for patients presenting with symptoms such as, gait disorders, ataxia and/or balance disorders.
• Improve balance, stability and core strength in the geriatric population and in patients with a diagnosis of multiple sclerosis or Parkinsons Disease.
• Utilize Pilates exercises to enhance outcomes for orthopedic issues, such as overuse injuries, arthritis, postural disorders, mal-alignment issues, low back pain and sacroiliac joint instability.
• Demonstrate and teach Pilates exercises with use of small props, such as foam rolls, rings/circles, and Swiss balls.
• Understand proper progression of the mat exercises with discretion of patient appropriateness.
• Discuss the latest evidence for integrating Pilates in the orthopedic and neurologic and geriatric populations.
• Demonstrate an understanding in how to properly document using Pilates exercises in rehabilitation programs, including G-codes and functional testing.
Additional details will be posted as soon as they are available.
