| Course Description: |
This one and 1/2 day highly interactive course uses lecture, clinical expertise, and guided practice to teach therapists “how” to approach the (older) adult with degenerative conditions and/or chronic diseases such as arthritis and osteoporosis, heart disease and in particular Parkinson’s Disease (PD) to be more effective in clinical outcomes, thus enhancing a fuller life. This course looks in-depth at conventional geriatric management, the latest evidence-based science, as well as critical clinical thinking through case studies and clinical outcomes. Participants will challenge conventional approaches - identifying the missing link of integrative treatment - to optimize clinical outcomes through effective PT/OT interventions. This course will advocate a preventive care or wellness perspective, a new thinking framework of health through movement, diet, and stress, and explain its influence on geriatric management. This approach is based on the Hippocrates health philosophy, more holistic oriented in patient care. Looking at the patient as a whole seems to be missing in our current medical practice. Discover which lifestyle factors influence the rate of OA, osteoporosis and PD progression and total outcomes. Optimum wellness approaches presented in this course are supported by the APTA & AOTA The most successful treatment plans that truly delay the progression of degenerative conditions and/or chronic diseases combine traditional therapy with holistic treatment perspectives. Participants will learn to treat the person with the disease and not the disease by itself.
