"Upper & Lower Extremity Update"
Highlights on Performance Enhancement
As the director of sports medicine, I’m constantly searching for ways to elevate our approach to care. Top sports medicine programs do three things better than others – education, research and clinical practice. I’m passionate about working on these initiatives.
Dan Lorenz isn’t only the Director of Sports Medicine at LMH Health OrthoKansas, he’s the only fellowship-trained physical therapist in sports physical therapy in Lawrence and the Kansas City metro.
Previously the owner and Director of Physical Therapy for Specialists in Sports and Orthopedic Rehabilitation (SSOR) in Overland Park, Dan earned a bachelor’s degree in health sciences and a master’s in physical therapy from Grand Valley State University and his Doctor of Physical Therapy from the University of St. Augustine in St. Augustine, Florida.
He also has a wealth of experience in the professional sports world. Dan worked as an athletic training intern for the Chicago White Sox; an assistant athletic trainer and physical therapist for the Kansas City Chiefs; and has served as a rehabilitation consultant for many local sports teams including Sporting Kansas City, Kansas City Chiefs and Mavericks, as well as local colleges including Mid-America Nazarene University and University of Missouri-Kansas City. He was also recognized by the National Strength and Conditioning Association as the 2018 Sports Medicine/Rehabilitation Professional of the Year.
The Lower Extremity Update is a one-day course the covers that major lower extremity orthopedic and sports conditions including but not limited to: tendinopathies, ankle/foot pathologies, patellofemoral pain syndrome, ACL reconstructions, meniscus tears/repairs, and hip labral repairs/FAI. The attendee will get the best available research to inform their practice as well as sound exercise progressions. This course is best for the clinician that wants a crash course in upper extremity pathologies and rehabilitation. For some clinicians, this may be a review of key concepts and evaluation principles, others may find the information more current. Either way, attendees will leave this course confident in their ability to tackle lower extremity pathologies on Monday in the clinic/training room/rehabilitation setting.
The Upper Extremity Update course is a one-day course that covers all the major upper extremity orthopedic and sports injuries, including but not limited to: tendinopathies, rotator cuff tears/repairs, SLAP tears/repairs, labral tears/repairs, shoulder instabilities, UCL reconstructions, and total shoulder/reverse total shoulder replacement. The attendee will get the best available research to inform their practice as well as sound exercise progressions. This course is best for the clinician that wants a crash course in upper extremity pathologies and rehabilitation. For some clinicians, this may be a review of key concepts and evaluation principles, others may find the information more current. Either way, attendees will leave this course confident in their ability to tackle upper extremity pathologies on Monday in the clinic/training room/rehabilitation setting. ., the Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore Maryland and at the University of Illinois at Chicago.
