CPR Certification

Saturday, June 13th, 2009, BodyBasics/Inland Empire Physical Therapy hosted a CPR course at their Corona facility. The therapists and PTAs are required to renew their CPR certification every two years to stay current on life-saving techniques. The class was taught by Pat Walsh.

Cardiopulmonary resusitation (CPR) is a procedure used when a patient's heart stops beating and breathing stops. It can involve compressions of the chest or electrical shocks along with rescue breathing.

Seminar in Palm Springs

The Bodybasics Team including Scott, Jaime, Rikki and Mandi attended the Annual course "Practical Applications in Sports Medicine" held at the Riviera Resort and Spa in Palm Springs. The course was held Friday May 29-Sunday the 31st. The course has been an annual event for 19 years and some of this year's topics discussed were ACL reconstruction, Kinesio Taping, and Throwing shoulder injuries(in relation to sports). The course was a great opportunity to practice and learn new skills. The nice pool and great weather was fun too!
