These 5 modules take you through core stability and neuromuscular control, the fundamentals of clinical assessment of the back and lower spine to increase your diagnostic skills. Learn about anatomy and pathology, in addition to the clinical assessment and multi-phase management, of lumbar radiculopathy. Better understand the mechanism of injury, treatment modalities and safe-to-return-to-sports strategies for young athletes suffering from lumbar spondylolysis. Finally, learn about the spine?s degenerative continuum and lumbar pain in older individuals.
