Clinical Application of the Neurodevelopmental Progression (Johnson - Online)

Course overview

In treating diagnoses associated with the developmental progression, it is important to have a good understanding of the multiple systems which contribute to movement sequences. When development is interrupted or skills are skipped, it can create gaps in the necessary movement patterns impacting the ability to participate in daily activities. Compensatory actions to achieve movement goals can lead to decreased endurance and pain. Therefore, it is necessary for therapists to address these underlying gaps in the developmental sequence to effectively treat our patients. Clinical application of the neurodevelopmental progression takes a deep dive into the systems that contribute to building block proregression of skills necessary to attain optimal movement patterns. Learn which components contribute to compensatory strategies and how to overcome them through effective treatment techniques, addressing problem areas. Practice these skills in a hands-on lab to build confidence in using the techniques learned in this course right away in clinical practice.
