Exploring the Essential Features of “Frank Layman – The Challenge of Injuries in Rotational Athletes: Assessment, Treatment and Prevention”

The Challenge of Injuries in Rotational Athletes: Assessment, Treatment and Prevention
Speaker: Frank Layman, PT, DPT, EdD, MTC
Duration: 2 Hours 02 Minutes
Format: Audio and Video

Description

All rotational athletes use the kinetic chain to transfer energy from the lower extremities, through the pelvis, spine, and upper extremity to generate power, but if there’s any breakdown in the kinetic chain – the risk of injury goes up.  Broaden your understanding of the biomechanics and kinetic chain components necessary for rotational athletes as you assess common injuries and intervention to support the dysfunction. Optimize the sequential activation pattern in rotational athletes to enhance mobilization, stability, and neuromotor control to achieve peak performance.
