Course Description:

Multiple factors associated with a client’s overall health may affect their risk for injury and prognosis for rehabilitation following injury. Understanding how sleep, nutrition, and mind-set may affect musculoskeletal health and can assist the therapist in optimally managing clients by facilitating a holistic, multidisciplinary approach to healthcare and rehabilitation. This session will describe common considerations given to injury risk and functional rehabilitation and how sleep, nutrition, and mind-set can influence a client’s progress toward their functional and rehabilitation goals. Sleep, nutrition, and mindset may be modifiable factors that can be addressed by multidisciplinary healthcare coordination to mitigate injury risk and improve rehab outcomes. This approach may help clients improve their overall health and quality of life.
