Online/Printable/Mailed - 5 PDUs - Description: Tissue-specific exercise can be thought of as the science of prescribing an accurate dosage of exercise. Tissue-specific exercise allows us to use our knowledge of exercise physiology to address the specific pathologic tissue conditions. For optimal outcomes, exercise dosage must not be assigned arbitrarily; it should be dosed accurately according to the physiology of the tissue(s) involved. This intermediate course teaches occupational and phsyical therapists the underlying principles needed to properly administer tissue-specific exercises to achieve optimal results.
