Alternative Sports Medicine Course – Integrative Online Program for Holistic Injury Care

The Alternative Sports Medicine Course is a new online program which offers an integrated approach to combine traditional sports medicine practices with complementary and integrative practices, which emphasize injury prevention and recovery. The course is designed for physiotherapists, athletic trainers, and wellness professionals to give them a wider, more holistic view in treating sports injuries.
During this certification program, learners will gain information on non-conventional modalities such as cupping therapy, myofascial release, concepts of dry needling, kinesiology taping, herbal recovery supports, yoga-based rehabilitation, and applications of energy medicine within musculoskeletal care. Each approach listed above is evidence-informed practice and integrated with current rehab practices.
The course modules will include those related to functional movement screening, soft tissue therapies, consideration of nutrition in healing after injury, chronic management of pain, and a main practicum on planning patient-centered wellness. The course promotes a biopsychosocial model that considers the physical, emotional, and lifestyle factors which contribute to an athlete's performance and recovery.
With access to online learning, practical tutorial modules, and expert case information, the learners will be able to use all techniques shared in the course to implement in their clinical practice in real-time. Certification shows that you are competent in providing an integrated approach which goes beyond the conventional practices of care.
Often you may be working with an amateur athlete, elite performer, or someone active which is common, this course sets yourself up to treat the whole person – not just the injury.
