Basics of Thoracic and Lumbar Thrust Joint Mobilization (25 Aug 2012)

Sat, 25 Aug 2012 12:00:00 GMT

New course! This course presents thoracic and lumbar spine thrust joint mobilizations that have been shown to be effective in managing spinal impairments and dysfunction. Ample lab time and supervision is provided to allow the participant to gain a high level of comfort in determining who is and who is not appropriate, and in successfully performing these techniques.

Cervicogenic Dizziness (14 Sep 2012)

Fri, 14 Sep 2012 21:00:00 GMT

This course is intended for physical therapists with experience managing patients with dizziness complaints, who wish to improve their differential diagnosis, manual examination and management of patients whose dizziness has a cervicogenic component. The neurologic therapist treating patients with vestibular diagnoses will learn to manage coexisting musculoskeletal impairments, while the orthopedic therapist will learn to manage dizziness due to non-musculoskeletal causes.

The Shoulder: Movement Dysfunction and Associated Pathologies (22 Sep 2012)

Sat, 22 Sep 2012 12:00:00 GMT

This two day intermediate course provides the clinician with practical, evidence-based knowledge for evaluation and treatment of the shoulder in an outpatient orthopedic setting. The participant begins the process with understanding potential competing pathoanatomic sources of shoulder pain. Upon determination that the source is from the musculoskeletal system, the participant will consider decision making for the cervical spine, scapulothoracic and glenohumeral regions as influences on the patient's presentation.

Emphasis is placed on identifying the underlying cause of the symptom within the kinetic chain and developing a comprehensive evaluation and treatment approach to obtain optimal function. Clinicians will learn screening questions for non-musculoskeletal causes of shoulder pain. A screening exam will be presented to assist in determining cervicogenic shoulder pain. Lab presentations will include identification of movement dysfunction in the scapulothoracic region with interventions for joint mobility, muscular strength and flexibility.

Current literature evidence will be used to guide the assessment and intervention strategies presented. Through case study examples (cervicogenic shoulder pain, impingement, instability), this course enables the clinician to develop comprehensive individualized rehabilitation programs. The clinicians attending this course will be able to apply this information immediately in the clinical setting.

Comprehensive Management of the Cervical Spine (10 Nov 2012)

Sat, 10 Nov 2012 13:00:00 GMT

This course is designed for the physical therapist who wishes to learn and refine the manual skills necessary for the examination, evaluation and management of patients with cervical musculoskeletal disorders. Using a case-based theme, the majority of the course is spent in lab instruction and practice time. A CD-ROM with all of the techniques (photos, written descriptions, and videos) is provided.
