Orthopedic Conditions and Exercise Considerations for The Lower Extremities (Hip, Knee, Ankle, Foot) .7 CEC

November 1 – Zoom 6:00 pm – 8:30 pm – Virtual
November 5 – Hands-on 9:00 am – 2:00 pm – Elevation Fitness Babylon

Orthopedic issues can result from force-related wear and tear resulting from sports, accidents, sedentary lifestyle, occupation, and, of course, “exercise.” This requires a strategic and personalized approach to implementing and manipulating the exercise experience for a client/patient.

General recommendations are physiotherapeutic exercises, “light stretching,” various forms of Yoga, and more.  All of these may have a place in reducing symptoms and improving function.

This course will not provide “general recommendations.” We will provide a ten-step succession to client and condition-specific exercise options and programming.
