Nationwide continuing education seminars with international correspondence courses were, and continue to be, offered to more than 4,000 Physical Therapists annually. Today, the IWA course offerings consist of an expanded range of fitness related topics which include Strength Training Program Design Strength Training for Seniors Yoga Pilates ... Therapy Ball Training and Functional Exercise Training . All IWA courses offer the most comprehensive self care and rehabilitative fitness solutions available. Once only available to Physical Therapists, the IWA Educational Committee now includes Occupational Therapists, Massage Therapists and Athletic Trainers.
