Date:           November 29th 2014

Instructor:  Karen Orlando, B. Sc.P.T., Diploma Sport Physiotherapy

                    Karen Orlando is the sole Canadian instructor of Thera-band Academy courses. She’s a member of Canadian Olympic team for 8 Olympics and 2 Paralympics and she is the owner and practitioner of ProCare Rehabilitation. She’s also the Medical Venue Manager of the upcoming Pan Para Pan Am Games in Toronto 2015.

This course is designed to give the therapist that ‘extra edge’ in solving clinical conditions in their practice. It will improve clinical rehabilitation skills of the physical therapist and athletic therapist using a scientific evidence-based approach.
The main goal of the course is to improve treatment effectiveness using inexpensive and readily available equipment. The patient compliance is vastly improved, as it is easy to compose take home exercise programs.
This course combines 50% lecture with 50% hands-on training in prescribing resistive and balance training exercises using the latest evidence-based tools.
