Continuing Education

This practical, hands-on course will allow participants to enhance their assessment techniques of the lower quadrant, with an emphasis on an integrated approach.   The identification of clients having the potential to benefit from specific treatment interventions will be discussed, with instruction in manual therapy techniques and evidence-based exercise prescription.  Both instructors hold their Advanced Diploma in Manual and Manipulative Physiotherapy, and their Masters of Clinical Science from the University of Western Ontario.   Registrants can expect an engaging day of learning with a number of practical take-aways that can be applied the following day in clinic.

On this 4-day course you will learn the manual skills and clinical reasoning framework of the Thoracic Ring Approach and ConnectTherapy to determine when the thorax is or is not the primary driver for pain or reduced performance during whole body movements. These skills providethe base to examine the thoracic rings across a wide variety of meaningful tasks. Specific thoracic ring treatment techniques developed by LJ will be practiced, along with specific exercise prescription and program design for optimal neuromuscular control and loading of hte thoracic rings. This 4-day version of the course allows more time for hands-on skill practice and more in-depth application of LJ's new phases of treatment and exercise prescription to progress to high load function and activities requiring control with speed.

This 3-day interdisciplinary course is designed to give participants basic knowledge about the NDT approach and how it is applied in rehabilitation to promote recovery of function following neurological damage. Core concepts from research in neuroplasticity and motor learning will be discussed. Hands-on lab practice and patient demonstration will be used to augment the learning process. All rehabilitation disciplines are encouraged to participate to ensure a cross-functional practice setting.
