OVERVIEW

NDTA™ Certificate Course in the Contemporary Practice of NDT for Management of Adults with Stroke and Brain Injury - Spring 2027 is organized by Back Works Spinal and Sports Rehabilitation and will be held from Apr 16 - Jun 13, 2027 at Back Works Spinal & Sports Rehabilitation, Ltd., Waterloo, Ontario, Canada.

Course Description:
The Certificate Course core curriculum includes didactic information informed by current evidence, hands-on lab work in which participants practice problem-solving and application of intervention strategies, treatment demonstrations by instructors, and mentored clinical practice in which participants work with a variety of clients.

Instruction in the Contemporary Practice of NDT as an interdisciplinary team approach assures that all therapists learn to address each client using a holistic approach. All therapists, regardless of discipline, cover the same course material. Throughout the course, participants assess and treat clients with neuromuscular disorders to gain a thorough understanding of each individual’s underlying posture and movement impairments and the resultant functional consequences. This provides them with the opportunity to understand the “whole” client in order to develop basic handling skills.

Participants must meet attendance requirements, successfully achieve course objectives, perform effective assessments, develop appropriate intervention strategies, plan and implement effective treatment plans, and successfully pass the standardized final exam and competencies. Once accomplished, an NDTA TM Certificate of Completion is awarded.
