Evidence in Motion is excited to offer several BOC approved courses to help athletic trainers (like yourself) elevate their patient care and take their careers to the next level. Browse our BOC approved courses below!

Concussion Management

This course is designed for anyone who desires to improve their concussion management skills. A temporal approach is taken to the course, where we focus on pre-injury baseline testing, followed by acute sideline evaluation of a concussion.

This is progressed to management of a concussion in the first 48-hours, and eventually the physical therapy office. Day two of the lab intensive focuses on various concussion trajectories their associated treatment paths. The lab finishes with return-to-sport, return-to-work, and return-to-learn discussions.

Manual Therapy of the Nervous System

Neurodynamics is the physical ability of the nervous system allowing it to move, slide, glide and accommodate human movement and function. Compared to more traditional manual therapy models focusing on joints and muscles, neurodynamics is new and vitally important in restoring normal movement and function. To understand the physical movement of nerves, neuroscience knowledge is explored to understand how pain works from a neurobiological and neurophysiological perspective.

Therapeutic Neuroscience Education

This course is designed to update participants on the latest evidence and clinical application of Therapeutic Neuroscience Education (TNE) for patients in pain. Current best evidence has shown that neuroscience educational strategies utilizing neurobiology and neurophysiology are able to reduce pain, increase function, reduce fear and catastrophization, improve movement and change cognitions and brain activation during pain experiences. Therapeutic neuroscience education changes patient beliefs regarding their pain, thus reducing the threat of pain.

Emergency Medical Response for the Sports Venue (Initial Certification)

The Emergency Medical Response (EMR) course integrates the objectives set forth by the American Red Cross and the Department of Transportation for Emergency Response. This course is specifically for sports medicine personnel including, but not limited to, sports physical therapists and certified athletic trainers who respond to acute injuries and illness in the sports venue or in the clinic that have not been previously certified in Emergency Medical Response.

Sports Competencies

In order to become a productive member of a sports medicine team, the sports physical therapist needs to be versed in many facets of care of the athlete. EIM’s evidence-based Sports Competencies course will cover many of these facets, to include: preventive and supportive taping; pre-participation screenings; functional movement screenings including corrective exercise prescription; evaluation, instruction and treatment of athletic movement; late-phase ACL rehabilitation; and injury prevention programs.

Functional Dry Needling Level 1

The Functional Dry Needling (FDN) Level 1 course gives clinicians the tools to elevate their practice to a new level of patient care. This foundational Functional Dry Needling course of study teaches the insertion of fine filament needles into neuromuscular junctions/motor points, stimulating the muscle, and bringing unbelievable pain relief and significantly improved function to athletes and patients who have been suffering for years.

FDN Level 1 teaches important dry needling techniques and involves ample lab time to test, practice and perfect the art and science of Functional Dry Needling so you can offer this to your patients the very next day. Musculature taught in the introductory level involves areas of the hip, lower extremity, thigh, upper extremity, shoulder, lumbar spine and cervical spine. A strong emphasis on safety and precaution is reinforced, as well as clinical application, research, history of dry needling, and relevant case study.

The Female Athlete

This course provides current best-evidence for the management of the female athlete. It will include topics such as The Triad (formerly known as the Female Athlete Triad), relative energy deficiency in sports (RED-S), gender differences with anatomy/physiology, sports biomechanics, medical conditions such as cardiac and sports concussion, life spectrum issues including pregnancy and master athlete issues. The participant will explore and demonstrate competency in the management spectrum of the female athlete from injury prevention, pre-participation screening to rehabilitation and performance enhancement.

Introduction to the Tactical Athlete

This course will serve as a foundational introduction, or 20,000-foot view, to the world of the tactical athlete, focused rehabilitation and return to duty/injury screening. Each section will have certain “deep dives” into a topic area that serves to increase knowledge, exposure, and interest.

The Tactical / Occupational Athlete

EIM’s Tactical Athlete course improves the understanding of what a tactical athlete is and their similarities and differences to traditional athlete. Participants will gain a better understanding of how those similarities and differences affect the testing, rehabilitation and performance conditioning of these specialized athletes.

The Overhead Throwing Athlete

This self-paced, self-directed course will help to prepare the physical therapy professional for advanced understanding of athletes who are required to use the overhead throwing motion in their sport. This 4-week module will expand on the unique characteristics of overhead throwing athletes and the injuries they are at increased risk for.

Science in Sports Medicine

This 4-week tutorial-based course is designed to improve participant’s understanding and application of current best-evidence for basic science of injury and healing, involving neuromusculoskeletal tissues, as well as Sports Biomechanics including running gait cycle, throwing, golf, cycling, swimming, and jumping/landing biomechanics. Participants find and interpret evidence to guide clinical practice using case-based learning examples.
