Mobility is fundamental to every activity that we perform while navigating the demands of work, life and play. But often its importance for health, quality of life and overall independence are not considered until an injury is sustained and specific joint motions are restricted. This workshop will provide a conceptual introduction to the concept of mobility, and introduce several practical strategies and tactics that can be used to assess and address the mobility needs of fire fighters.
During this online workshop you will be provided with an opportunity to improve your understanding of mobility and learn about the distinction between passive and active needs. You will also have an opportunity to assess and categorize fire fighters’ mobility needs such that personalized exercise recommendations can be made.
