The CDC has determined that concussion is a high priority public health initiative, due to high prevalence and potentially serious long-term consequences that may arise from incomplete recovery and improper management. Physical therapists, regardless of specialty (sports, orthopedics, neurology, geriatrics, pediatrics, federal, acute care, etc.) are likely to be consulted in the evaluation and treatment of individuals with cervical, vestibular, oculomotor and return to activity needs following a concussion. This course will provide physical therapists with evaluation and treatment skills that will assist them with managing this challenging population.
Primary Care
If your primary care doctor or specialist recommends physical therapy for a condition you’re experiencing, you have the right to choose which physical therapist and/or physical therapy practice you would like to work with. While your doctor may recommend a specific PT practice, you can decline their suggestion and choose the PT practice that best meets your needs.
“The TAI Orthopedic Residency Program was incredibly beneficial for the development of my manual skills, proficiency, and more importantly my clinical reasoning skills in patient care. I feel the education from the program has allowed me to better care for my patients, adequately screen for the need of referrals, and utilize current best-evidence interventions in the field of orthopedics. I would highly recommend the program to any clinician looking to develop their orthopedic expertise.”
