Description

Statistics report that over 100 million Americans suffer from chronic pain with $90 billion spent annually on spine pain alone. Pain is a concomitant factor in fall risk, chronic diseases, elevated comorbidities, and poor rehabilitation outcomes making it a multidimensional issue requiring innovative and working solutions. Over 127 million Americansseek complementary and integrative health care services annually and the most successful clinicians know that meeting this growing need offers a huge advantage in generating additional revenue as well as providing superior quality care. Rehabilitation professionals of the future will have the knowledge and capability to leverage multidimensional aspects of their client’s experience to engender faster and more complete healing.

A growing number of rehabilitation professionals are realizing that the body and mind function inseparably in allhuman activity. This insightful and inspiring one-day workshop transforms traditional mechanistic thinking into a more holistically practical concept of care by bridging the gap between modern science and ancient body-mind practices.This highly applauded course makes body-mind rehabilitation science easy to understand and thoroughly enjoyable to apply in practice. Throughout the day, students will integrate research supported body-mind movement and manual strategies that can be immediately applied in diverse clinical settings to increase financial revenue and greatly improve functional outcomes.
