Secrets of Mastering the Athletic Low Back Pain Examination

Course overview

Most athletes continue to participate in sports despite aggravating spinal pain that can limit performance and increase the risk of time-loss injury. How can we better diagnose and treat athletic back pain? Dr. Kyle Matsel and Dr. Todd Arnold team up to present the best knowledge and application of treatment for athletes with spinal pain. The goal of this course is to sharpen the decision-making and examination skills of the sports physical therapist (PT) and to streamline the treatment of athletes with low back pain that limits participation. Live case examples of patients with lumbar spine injuries will assist the sports PT in the development of critical thinking, problem-solving, and patient/parent education.
