Continuing Education for Physical Therapists and Physical Therapist Assistants. Each interactive training course is completely narrated and easy to follow. This isn't the typical boring training. You won't download material, read, and take a test. This is real online training.
Activities such as bending and repetitive motion, which often result in overexertion, are common when handling materials. The Bureau of Labor Statistics categorizes these actions in a group designated bodily reaction and exertion. According to an online article in OH&S, this group accounted for 42 percent of the 1.3 million lost time injuries in private industry during 2003, more than twice the number of cases caused by falls; most of these cases involved sprains and strains. This should come as no surprise to Physical Therapists or those in the rehabilitation medical field. We all have seen way too many patients with the diagnosis Lumbar sprain/strain or Lumbosacral sprain/strain.
This course should be taken by physical therapists or physical therapy assistants interested in treating patients with Lumbar sprain/strain, Lumbosacral sprain/strain, or "back pain." This course will review proper lifting technique, as well as instruction on how to develop and implement a return to work program for your patients.

We're excited to announce that this course is now available in HTML 5, making it more compatible with the browser on your mobile device (e.g., smartphone or tablet). This course requires only the most recent version of your mobile device's web browser.
Mobile versions of this sort of training are new, but below are some Pros and Cons that we have noticed during our extensive testing.
During our testing we really noticed that tablets work much better than smartphones, simply due to their screen size.
Because this is a Beta Version of our course, you may encounter some issues as we work out the kinks.
While HTML5 makes taking this course on mobile devices possible, not all mobile browsers are optimized for HTML5, meaning you may not have complete functionality. If you have difficulty taking this course using the browser on your mobile device, you may need to use a different browser.
Test the functionality of your browser using HTML5 and compare it to the performance of other browsers. If you find other browsers are more compatible than your own, you may want to make the switch.
