This fast-paced course is an overview of different types of injuries a manual therapist may encounter with athletes that come into their treatment rooms. This course is not intended for injury diagnosis or prognosis. Rather, it is a high-level understanding of injuries, how they may occur in sports scenarios, and how to perform quick assessments in the treatment room to better address the area of concern of an athlete. In this course the student will learn some common sport injuries and quick assessments of the following six sections of the body: Neck, Shoulders, Arms, Hips/Low Back, Legs, and Feet/Ankle. This course pairs well when taken AFTER the Sports Massage Kinesiology course.
Course Objectives:
- Identify different types of injuries which may be found in six sections of the body
- List potential sport movements of each of these injuries within the six sections of the body
- Correctly perform assessments on a client within each of the six locations of the body
