Knoeppel Attends Physical Therapy Conference
Dave Knoeppel of Longview Physical & Sports Therapy (LPST) attended Team Concept Conference 2011 in Las Vegas, Nevada, from December 1st through the 3rd. The event was sponsored by the American Physical Therapy Association.
Knoeppel attended a number of sessions, including “Functional Progression Sports Rehabilitation,” “Evaluation and Intervention for Scapular Dysfunction,” “Shoulder Instability in Collision Sports,” “Multi-directional Instability of the Shoulder,” “Connecting Extremity Rehabilitation to the Spine,” “Upper Quarter Dysfunction and Treatment in Athletes,” “Lower Extremity Functional Testing and Return-to-Play Criteria,” “Medial Side and Lateral Side Knee Ligament Injuries,” “Meniscus Injuries,” “Ankle Instability,” and “Clinical Examination of the Runner for Injury and Performance.”
“Some of the top sports medicine physicians and sports physical therapists in the U.S. spoke at the conference,” Knoeppel said. “It was very beneficial to learn about the most current evidence-based treatments for shoulder, knee and ankle rehabilitation and for return-to-play criteria for athletes.”
Knoeppel, a physical therapist and certified athletic trainer, is a co-owner of LPST. He has more than 30 years of experience in the field.
