Education through sharing our expertise is part of our mission. Join the medical professionals of Shriners Children's Twin Cities for a monthly webinar series, Monthly Mugs: Education Brewed for the Healthcare Community. These webinars are provided at no cost by Shriners Children's. Registration is always required.
Physical literacy is defined as the ability to engage in physical activities in a variety of environments with confidence and competence, allowing for healthy development of an individual. This skill can be achieved through a multitude of avenues, and we will discuss how physical therapy can play a role, and what the current recommendations are for activity levels in young people.
After Shriners Children's presentation by Rebecca L. Rouse, D.P.T., on October 22, participants will be able to:
- Have a general understanding of the definition of physical literacy
- Have a general understanding of how physical therapy can promote physical literacy
- Understand the current recommendations for physical activity in young people
Please note: The October presentation has been moved from our usual third Wednesday of the month to the following Tuesday, for this month only.
Becky Rouse, PT, D.P.T. (pictured), believes in making therapy activities fun and keeping therapy play-based whenever possible, while using the most recent literature and research to get the best possible outcomes for her patients.
