| PNF in the Pool |
PNF in the Pool Intermediate / Pool Workshop W310 / Palm Springs, CA / Wednesday, August 10 - 8:15-11:30 am 3.0 credit hours equivalent to .3 CEU's Classroom: 8:15-10:10 am / Pool: 10:10-11:30 am COURSE DESCRIPTION: Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation (PNF) patterns resemble our movements in daily activities, in sports and on the job. After surgery, trauma or with disease, these patterns are difficult. With thorough understanding of PNF principles and techniques we can apply "modified" PNF in the pool to treat a wide range of diagnoses to regain function. Practice the PNF patterns for the trunk and extremities, as well as with gait and in the deep water. Understand PNF applications for neuro and ortho patients, experiment with various pool props to enhance PNF patterns, and perform PNF in easy positions in the pool: standing, seated, prone, supine, kneeling and suspended. PNF has never been more easy nor more fun! COURSE OBJECTIVES: -- Explore PNF patterns for the trunk and extremities -- Examine PNF applications for ortho and neuro patients -- Practice patterns and modifications with and without props in the pool PREREQUISITES: -- Familiar with PNF patterns and principles on land Click here register:

| Introduction to Aquatic Therapy and Rehab |
Palm Springs Specialty Institute Pre-Event Course W301 / Beginner / Pool Workshop Tuesday, August 9 - 8:00 am-5:00 pm (see details below) 8 credit hours equivalent to .8 CEU's Also available in New Braunfels, Texas on Saturday, October 29th, 2005 COURSE DESCRIPTION: "Intro" is an entertaining and informative workshop for those health professionals who would like to expand skills into aquatic therapy and rehab. Aquatic therapy and rehabilitation is a growing market and provides an excellent service to clients. As a health professional, here’s the opportunity to enhance your career with the most current essential information you need to get started. Feel confidence in the concepts, compare the efficacy and outcomes to land-based therapy, try several popular aquatic therapy protocols during the in-pool lab, and access to resources for more in-depth knowledge. The seminar will include basic aquatic principles including buoyancy, resistance, and hydrostatic pressure, and how those principles change the biomechanics of movement patterns. A review of outcomes (who aquatic rehab works for, indications and contraindications, what diagnoses it helps, why it’s helpful, and when to use it) and the concepts of aquatic therapy protocols are discussed. We will determine the concepts and methodology of popular aquatic therapy and rehabilitation techniques, patient populations that these modalities can work for, and discuss competency and where to learn more about each. Participants will determine which techniques are safe and appropriate for which specialized clientele. Specific aquatic therapeutic interventions for older adults, the obese, children, people with arthritis, Fibromyalgia, back pain, knee pain, diabetes, CAD, asthma and COPD, cerebral palsy, hearing and vision impairments, CVA, hip replacements, DD, GI track problems, Parkinson’s, MS, osteoporosis, shoulder problems, prenatal women, and athletes are discussed. Finally, this presentation will allow participants to experiment with the basic concepts of Ai Chi, Ai Chi Ne, Aquatic Feldenkrais, Bad Ragaz, Aqua Pilates, PNF, Halliwick, Massage, Energy Work, UCT, the Burdenko Method, BackHab, and Watsu in the pool. COURSE OBJECTIVES: At the conclusion of the course, participants should be able to: 1. Recognize and apply basic hydrodynamic principles. 2. Match their clients’ situations with one or two aquatic techniques. 3. Apply modifications and precautions, indications, and contradictions of each aquatic technique with each client. 4. Examine and apply aquatic therapy equipment to patients. TYPICAL SCHEDULE: 8:00-10:00 am Aquatic Principles; Efficacy - indications, precautions and contradictions of aquatic therapy and rehab; Resources 10:00 am-1:00 pm Pool Practicum 1:00-2:00 pm Lunch - on your own 2:00-5:00 pm Aquatic Techniques and Concepts; Special Populations; Getting Started Click here register:

Beginner / Pool Workshop W318 / Palm Springs, CA Thursday, August 11 - 7:30-10:50 am 3.0 credit hours, equivalent to .3 CEU's Pool: 7:30-8:50 am / Classroom: 8:50-10:50 am COURSE DESCRIPTION: A strong trunk is critical for functional movement on land, from improved posture to proper body mechanics, to back pain prevention. In the water, we can successfully strengthen all of the abdominal muscle groups, with or without equipment. Strengthen and Stabilize! Hear it, see it, feel it on land and in the water, and select appropriate exercises to teach to your clients! COURSE OBJECTIVES: -- Determine the role of the trunk muscles -- Test your own abdominal strength -- Implement appropriate exercises for specific clients with or without props -- Identify teaching tips and cues to enhance participant performance.

| Supine Solutions, Terri Mitchell, PTA |
Birmingham, AL on November 13, 2005 Whether for strengthening, stabilizing, stretching or relaxing, the supine position in the water provides a wide variety of options for treating ortho and neuro patients in the therapy pool. Practice positioning different body types in the water with appropriate floatation. Get hands on experience with isometric and isotonic exercises for trunk and LEs. Practice muscle elongation techniques, and relaxation options as passive techniques. COURSE OBJECTIVES: --Position clients in the supine position, using appropriate flotation --Examine techniques for shoulders --Apply muscle elongation techniques --Practice isometric, isotonic and isokinetic exercises for LE and trunk |

| Hand Me A Handbar with Terri Mitchell |
Handbars can be used to increase resistance for muscle conditioning, buoyancy for suspended moves, and intensity during water aerobics. A good knowledge of anatomy is important for creating exercises that will promote muscle balance. Safety aspects on the use of handbars will prevent injury. Understanding the properties of water will enhance the use of the handbars. |
