Course Description:
The number of female athletes continues to grow and so has the injuries to the female athlete. Unfortunately, we have seen injuries that are more prevalent in the female athlete population. These include a higher risk of ACL tears, stress fractures, patellofemoral pain, and ITB pain. A rationale for aquatic therapy for the female athlete is that it allows the athlete to train using a similar movement pattern to that found on land without incurring the impact forces, and thus significantly reducing the repetitive loading of the musculoskeletal system. This course is appropriate for physical therapists, occupational therapists, and athletic trainers that work with the female athlete, both in the rehabilitation setting and training setting.
