CRPS VIDEO SERIES 


A New Video Series called: CRPS Therapies, Clinicians Share Their Expertise

The 40-minute video is primarily intended to educate physical and occupational therapists on how to implement a functional restoration program for individuals with CRPS. There are six segments:

  • What is CRPS? The importance of education and assessment
  • Desensitization: Earlier rather than Later
  • Restoring Function
  • Managing Flare-ups
  • Aqua Therapy: a key ingredient in treating CRPS
  • Brain Retraining
The video features Melanie Swan, OTR/L and Sarah Whitman, MD, who work with CRPS patients including several of our members.  This has been a collaborative project, and they think that it shows in the final product.  Their goal is to get a copy into every physical therapy and occupational therapy school in the United States.

This is a project put together by the RSDSA.
