Denver, CO (PRWEB) March 30, 2015

Infinity Rehab continues ten years of providing quality education opportunities for its clinicians and non-affiliated therapists through the contract therapy company’s annual Continuing Education Symposiums. The classes at the 2015 Mountain Symposium offer attendees a range of options to enhance clinical practices, explore successful leadership qualities, and discover ways to reduce workday stress.

“Therapists play a very important role in helping patients achieve rehabilitation goals after suffering an illness or injury,” says Tim Esau, PT, MSPT, Director of Compliance. “Infinity Rehab Symposiums are a great way for therapists to stay on top of new approaches to treating patients and advancements in their respective disciplines. We’ve worked hard to put together a great selection of courses that are designed to provide attendees with evidence-based education and even a course that covers practical application of leadership development.”

The 2015 Mountain Continuing Education Symposium takes place on April 11th through the 12th at the Hyatt Regency – Denver Tech Center.
