This popular two-day course thoroughly covers ultrasound and electrical stimulation from theory to application. Through a combination of interesting lecture and hands-on labs, this course intends to provide information and skills that can be utilized in the clinic the very next day.

The speaker has a unique ability to clear-up many misconceptions regarding these modalities, and making topics that are often confusing understandable.

This course includes application labs for ultrasound and electrical stimulation, including the waveforms of Monophasic (high volt pulsed current), low volt, interferrential, Russian and microcurrent, as well as a three-hour treatment applications lab allowing for simulated clinical treatments.

Course Objectives
Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to:

• Explain the principles of ultrasound and electrical stimulation
• Describe the physiological effects of ultrasound and electrical stimulation
• Identify contraindications and precautions for ultrasound and electrical stimulation
• List the alterable parameters of ultrasound and electrical stimulation and how each parameter will effect treatment outcomes
• Design a treatment program incorporating electrical stimulation or ultrasound
• Explain the rationale for choosing ultrasound or electrical stimulation

Lab: Participants will be able to demonstrate proper application of ultrasound and electrical stimulation

Who Should Attend

• Physical Therapists and Physical Therapist Assistants
• OT's and COTA's
• Health Care Professionals who use therapeutic modalities.
