Course being offered in conjunction with Mid-Atlantic Physical Therapy Associates DISCOVER PHYSIO - DISCOVER THE PELVIS - Level 1 2010 NY (21 CEUs) Location:
Discover the Pelvis – Level 1 is a 3 day evidence based course (Sackett et al 2002) that reviews the recent advances in science and presents a clinical application for assessment and treatment based on an integrated model. This course presents a structural framework for clinical decision making which enables the therapist to decide when and why different treatment interventions should be applied for successful rehabilitation. Based on specific assessment tests, the clinician will learn how to integrate joint mobilization techniques, myofascial release techniques, stabilization exercises as well as functional integration exercises into a complete multimodal program which is patient specific i.e. prescriptive - and thus most effective. On this course, this model of assessment and treatment will be applied to dysfunction within the pelvic girdle. This 3 day course is based on a functional model, as opposed to one which seeks to identify pain generators. It lays the foundation for understanding and restoring movement and control within the pelvic girdle and how this impacts the rest of the body. The ultimate goal is to restore function such that there is mobility as well as stability without rigidity of posture and without episodes of collapse: “Restoring Stability with Mobility”.
