NOTE: CEUs Not Offered For This Course

This course specifically addresses the rehabilitation needs of 3 professions of performing artists: the figure skater, the musician, and the artistic gymnast.

Unique examination and intervention strategies tailored to the needs of these populations are highlighted.

Instrumentalist Musicians
