Optimizing Spinal Exercise Interventions: A Practical Approach (Nov 20, 2027)

Optimizing Spinal Exercise Interventions: A Practical Approach is organized by Great Lakes Seminars (GLS) and will be held on Nov 20, 2027 at Meritus Physical Therapy, Hagerstown, Maryland, United States of America. America.

Description:
One of the greatest joys for a clinician is to help a patient with debilitating back pain, restoring their freedom to both function without pain and return to doing what they love.  Effective spine and core exercises are critical to your spine patient’s treatment program, especially helping them maintain their improvements.

This 1-day course will take your spinal and core exercise intervention to an entirely new level.  We will cover cervical to lumbar spine biomechanics, core function, and stability training.  We will give you an abundance of up-to-date exercises to help you provide effective interventions to your patients. This course will allow you to confidently and effectively implement comprehensive exercise prescriptions for all of your back pain patients, from the cervical to the lumbar spine, from basic to complex.

Course Objectives:
By the end of this course, you’ll be able to:

• Confidently assess spinal movement impairments to identify the underlying causes of pain and functional limitations.
• Select evidence-based exercises to improve cervical, thoracic, and lumbar mobility, stability, and overall movement quality.
• Design individualized exercise programs that address core strength, postural control, and movement dysfunction throughout the spine.
• Progress and modify exercise programs to match each patient’s goals, impairments, and stage of recovery.
• Apply practical, research-informed exercise strategies to help patients reduce pain, restore function, and return to work, sport, and everyday activities.
