Description
In Bridging the Gap Between Therapy and Sport Performance, professionals will learn the full trajectory of an athlete returning to sport after injury. In many cases, rehabilitation principles are focused on a return to normal function. Presenter Tyler Desplenter will show the benefits of developing training that goes beyond normal function as the end goal and aims for a return to optimal sport performance for each athlete. Learn about the rehabilitation gap—the period after physical therapy ends and before sport training begins—including why it exists and why the gap can be physically and mentally difficult for athletes to move on from. You’ll explore your role as part of a rehabilitation team and how your work can bridge the gap for your athlete. You’ll see how a phasic rehabilitation training plan can help avoid reinjury, increase efficiency, and ultimately take an athlete back to peak performance.
