Better Clinicians Ask Better Questions.
Continuing education for physical therapists and athletic professionals who want to move beyond protocols and make more confident, informed decisions throughout rehabilitation. Laura’s teaching combines current evidence, objective testing, strength and conditioning principles, and more than two decades of clinical experience to help clinicians understand not only what to do, but what the data is telling them and where to go next.
From Research to Real Life
Complex athletes don’t read the textbook, and rehabilitation rarely follows a perfectly predictable timeline.
Laura’s approach bridges evidence and application, giving clinicians practical frameworks they can immediately bring back to their patients and athletes. Her courses combine lecture, discussion, hands-on labs, testing, and real-world clinical reasoning to build confidence where protocols alone fall short.

ACL Rehab in a Weekend
Move beyond the basic surgical protocol and learn to assess what your athlete actually needs. Designed for physical therapists, physical therapist assistants, athletic trainers, and related professionals, ACL Rehabilitation in a Weekend takes a practical, performance-based approach to the full ACL rehabilitation lifecycle. The course explores how to restore muscle capacity and force expression while using objective testing throughout rehabilitation, rather than waiting until the end to determine whether an athlete is ready to return to sport. Participants leave with practical testing strategies, programming concepts, and clinical tools they can put to work right away.
WHAT YOU’LL EXPLORE
-
Use handheld dynamometry, torque calculations, and rate-of-force-development testing to better understand strength and muscle function.
-
Build a foundational understanding of isokinetic testing and how it can contribute to a more complete picture of recovery.
-
Force Plate Analytics Interpret countermovement jump metrics and asymmetries and understand how force plates can be incorporated into clinical practice.
-
Apply strength and conditioning principles throughout each phase of ACL rehabilitation, from restoring quadriceps force capacity to rebuilding elastic qualities.
-
Use serial testing and objective data throughout rehabilitation to guide progression and make more informed return-to-sport decisions.
