Components of the sports medicine exam and advanced therapeutic exercises and
flexion tests for the most common athletic injuries will be discussed and then taught.
OVERVIEW OF THE SPORTS MEDICINE EXAM
Specifics of structure; how to evaluate assembly and angulation to determine structural balance
Effects of imbalance/weakness as they relate to injury compensation
Common injuries as a result of structural imbalance and overuse/compensation
Discussion of specific exercises for strengthening imbalance
How to build the conditioning program
Weight training as part of the strengthening program; "do's and don'ts" when using weights
Warm up and cool down techniques and maintenance conditioning for life
Litter Evaluations
Puppy evaluations at 8 - 9 weeks of age. Critical to determining adult structure
Measurement of shoulder layback - determines reach and extension
Measurement of angulation - determines suspension and extension in the rear and front
