Objectives

1. Discuss the theory, component skills, and latest advances in neuro-developmental treatment.
2. Review strategies for more quickly identifying the root causes of pain and functional limitations.
3. Integrate effective interventions that can be used immediately to improve function, multitasking, gait, strength, flexibility, mobility and stability.
4. Combine multiple modalities effectively for better results, including NDT, high intensity aerobic activity, kinesiology taping, resistive exercise, and flexibility training.
5. Design effective, innovative plans of care for a wide range of neurological and orthopedic impairments.
6. Apply the assessments and interventions discussed in this seminar to a series of interactive case scenarios.
