To help your patients avoid such injuries, learn from renowned therapist, speaker, and author Robert Donatelli, PT, PhD, as he uncovers the etiology of such injuries and shares his knowledge of how to treat them when they occur. Dr. Donatelli examines multiple lower extremity dysfunctions, including hip muscle weakness, patella tendinitis, Achilles tendinopathy, shin splints, soleus syndrome, iliotibial band friction syndrome, plantar fasciitis, stress fractures, and abnormal foot mechanics.
