About the course:

Course Description:

This course is a two-day (14 hour) course that emphasizes putting the latest evidence into practice to provide innovative solutions for the athletes with relative overuse injuries. Diagnoses to be included will include patellofemoral pain, iliotibial band pain, and the most common lower limb tendinopathies including patellar, Achilles, gluteal, and proximal hamstring tendinopathies, as well as plantar fasciopathy. The course will also cover the most common bone stress injuries of the lower limb, including tibia, metatarsal, navicular bone stress injuries. Specific training load prescription and strength and conditioning practices to both prevent and treat various injuries is a foundation of this course. Overall, there will be an emphasis on hands-on, laboratory experiences of the didactic components of this course so that attendees can immediately put into practice newly learned skills. Case studies will be used throughout the course to provide relevant examples.
