The Role Of Trauma In Chronic Pain: Maximizing Our Skill Set For Mind-Body Healing

Sign up today for the The Role Of Trauma In Chronic Pain: Maximizing Our Skill Set For Mind-Body Healing

This 3.5 hour online, pre-recorded course examines the literature on Autonomic nervous system response to trauma and the parallels between trauma (PTSD, abuse, ACE scores) and chronic pain and then goes a step further to look at a multi-dimensional treatment approach through manual, exercise, breathing and the actual anatomic mechanics that make this approach successful. It is evidence-based and the instructor incorporates a newer concept of heart rate variability into the conversation. With the stress on PNE/TPE, we can do better than tell people to breath and walk. This course examines how we do this well and why we, as Physical Therapists (PTs), are the best suited for this role.

Media Echoes Profession's Call for More Physical Activity

National Physical Therapy Month may be drawing to a close, but that's no reason to ease up on promoting the importance of physical activity.  It's a message that APTA will be emphasizing throughout our centennial year in 2021 — and one that PTs, PTAs, and physical therapy students are uniquely positioned to deliver as movement experts.

Even better, we're not alone in delivering it. Here's a roundup of recent coverage of physical activity in the media.
