Integrating the Rehab Acronyms: Neurology as a unifying principle in physical medicine practice

Astute clinicians often seek to advance their patient care by receiving training in well known rehab and manual therapy coursework. These systems often introduce processes to the clinical physical medicine encounter that are exclusive rather than integrative. The evolution of the literature regarding pain neuroscience, mechanical sensitization of peripheral neurology and the aging and longevity literature offers a potential neurological lens through which to view many of these disparate systems. This 4 hour course will attempt to offer an integrative approach to blend many of these diversified rehab systems into a heuristic that respects the integrity of these systems while organizing the clinical encounter.

Fulcrum, Lever, Sport: Biomechanics For Improved Performance and Injury Prevention

Many common and ineffective approaches to injury, injury prevention, and rehabilitation, as well as exercise programming, apply the same principles to different mechanical systems of the body. This approach does not address the specific needs of different mechanical systems involved in functional movement and fitness. Fulcrum, Lever, Sport addresses the different aspects of bio-mechanics and explains how to train more specifically to the needs of the human system.

Fulcrum, Lever, Sport will help you think about human function and injury prevention in a new light. The principles that Michael Ross, DC, CSCS, DACRB covers are not entirely new concepts – they are scientifically based, and rooted in research and well-established biomechanical principles. Fulcrum, Lever, Sport condenses these concepts into an easy-to-understand format, which will allow you to take immediate action to improve patient outcomes or athletic performances. Dr. Ross simplifies complex aspects of human biomechanics and the relationship to injury prevention and performance enhancement so anyone, from a novice athletic individual to a seasoned coach or clinician can listen to, learn, and integrate these concepts into their clinical practice, training, and/or coaching.

Concepts and Considerations for Post Surgery Rehabilitation

The concepts and considerations the rehab clinician must consider when evaluating, designing and performing post-surgery rehabilitation.  This includes the necessary forms that must be filled out, signed and dated including medical clearance.  A template for designing any rehab program is also included in this presentation.  The most important rehab principles are outlined and explained in detail.  This overview will enable the rehab clinician to successfully treat any and all post-surgery rehab patients.
