Introduction to Therapeutic Exercise
Tracking # 20-1167904
Course overview
Therapeutic exercise is known to have long-term benefits for many health conditions and injuries. As Richard Jackson notes 'the human body can be moulded and shaped over time regardless of age. It has a tremendous ability to respond to the demands placed upon it.' Because of their knowledge of osteokinematics arthrokinematics myokinematics and kinetics physiotherapists are well-placed to prescribe exercise programmes for individuals who have specific rehabilitation needs. However they must also have a comprehensive understanding of the principles of exercise prescription. Therefore this course will explore the basics of therapeutic exercise focusing on terminology and key principles of exercise design.
