This course delves into the impact of sacroiliac (SI) joint dysfunction on kinetic chain dysfunction and adverse neural tension. It offers an eclectic, evidence-based approach to both the assessment and treatment of SI joint issues. This comprehensive approach aims to address the multifaceted nature of SI joint dysfunction, optimizing outcomes and enhancing overall patient care.
Knee pain can arise from local tissue dysfunction, kinetic chain dysfunction, or referral from proximal structures such as the hip, the pelvis, and nerves originating from the lumbar spine. Learn how to efficiently and effectively assess and treat knee pain using regional interdependence, manual therapy, neurodynamics, and specific exercises.
The course will cover key diagnostic criteria and methods to distinguish between plantar fasciopathy and other conditions. By mastering these skills, clinicians will be able to implement targeted and effective treatment strategies, optimizing patient outcomes and enhancing the efficiency of care for foot pain using manual therapy, neurodynamics, and specific exercises.
"Examining the clinical significance of the intercostal-brachial nerve as a potential source of upper extremity pain. This exploration will delve into its association with dysfunctions of the thoracic spine, ribs, cervical spine, and posture. Treatment interventions will be discussed, including manual therapy, therapeutic exercises, and self-care techniques."
"Conduct efficient, evidence-based assessments and treatments for a wide range of lower extremity conditions, with a focus on regional interdependence. This approach integrates the spine, pelvis, and neurodynamics into the differential diagnosis and treatment of lower extremity conditions, uncovering surprising connections and enhancing treatment effectiveness."
"This course offers comprehensive training in dry needling for the entire body (excluding the pelvic floor), utilizing a minimalist, evidence-based approach designed to minimize treatment time while maximizing outcomes. Emphasizing regional interdependence, the course explores the extensive current evidence supporting dry needling for various conditions. We will present the latest research both for and against the use of dry needling, ensuring a balanced and informed practical education."
This comprehensive course delves into the concept of regional interdependence, highlighting its crucial role in the assessment and treatment of musculoskeletal conditions in the upper extremity. Participants will gain a deep understanding of how dysfunctions in the spine, ribs, cervical spine, and other interconnected regions can contribute to upper extremity issues such as shoulder pain, elbow tendinopathies, and wrist dysfunctions. The course emphasizes a thorough assessment process that identifies these underlying connections and integrates evidence-based treatment strategies, including manual therapy, therapeutic exercises, and neurodynamic techniques, to address the root causes of dysfunction. By mastering these approaches, clinicians will enhance their ability to provide targeted and effective care, leading to better patient outcomes.
This course explores the concept of regional interdependence in the assessment and treatment of musculoskeletal conditions affecting the thoracic spine and ribs. Participants will learn how dysfunctions in these areas can influence broader movement patterns and contribute to issues in the cervical and lumbar spine, as well as the upper extremities. The course emphasizes evidence-based assessment techniques and treatment strategies, including manual therapy and corrective exercises, to effectively address these complex interactions and improve patient outcomes.
This course provides in-depth training on the application of Muscle Energy Techniques (MET) for the treatment of musculoskeletal pain. METs are powerful because the create movement, pain relief, neurolomuscular re-education simultaneously and are a safe and effective alternative to grade 5 joint manipulations. Participants will learn the principles and practice of MET, a manual therapy approach that uses the patient’s own muscle contractions to mobilize joints, improve range of motion, and reduce pain. The course emphasizes hands-on practice, ensuring that clinicians develop the skills needed to effectively incorporate MET into their treatment plans for a variety of musculoskeletal conditions.
This course focuses on the role of regional interdependence in the assessment and treatment of musculoskeletal conditions affecting the lumbar spine. Participants will explore how dysfunctions in the pelvis, hips, thoracic spine, and surrounding areas can contribute to lower back pain and other lumbar issues. The course emphasizes evidence-based assessment techniques and integrative treatment strategies, including manual therapy and therapeutic exercises, to address these interconnected dysfunctions and enhance patient outcomes.
