SUMMARY:Pelvic Health Body Imagery in Montreal\, Canada
DESCRIPTION:Note: This course starts at 1:00pm on Friday \nEmail – SMARTERehab@gmail.com\nLanguage – English\n \nCourse Description \nMotor imagery is used in motor skill based interventions. Motor imagery ability is deficient in a wide range of pain and non pain subgroups. Reduced motor imagery influences motor skill learning ability and pain. It usually manifests as poor coordination. \nThis course has two main focuses \n(1) Motor imagery as it relates to the assessment and rehab of motor control based interventions \n(2) Motor imagery as a pain mechanism \nThe brain needs to know what is happening in the body. It gets this information from sensory feedback and forming complex maps. When this information is deficient the brain will change motor behavior to help get this information. When it is absent\, significantly inaccurate or cannot be processed\, musculoskeletal symptoms can result.  It is now clear that our virtual brain and body imagery are involved in pain states. In some cases they can be a primary cause of the pain state! \nBody Imagery Pain is introduced as it represents a non mechanical pain state that is not addressed in the definition of nociplastic pain or central sensitization. \nOn this course we go through an easy to use clinical assessment of motor imagery and targeted rehabilitations strategies. These include primitive reflex inhibition\, postural reflex facilitation\, midline rehab and specific sensory motor rehab. \nClinical examples will be shown as to how the rehabilitation is targeted towards facilitating improved pelvic health. \nCourse Objectives: The participant will be able to: \n\nTake a subjective history related to motor imagery and Body Imagery Pain\nIdentify patients with poor motor imagery\nUse primitive reflex inhibition strategies to improve motor imagery and pelvic health rehab\nSubgroup Body Imagery Pain using a clinical reasoning process\n\nTestimonial \n“The courses that I have taken with Sean have completely changed my pelvic floor practice and the way I practice as a physical therapist! Sean’s courses are a must in order to help a variety of clientele and especially those who do not respond to conventional treatments!  He has researched and developed new evidence based techniques that are essential for pelvic floor therapists.”  \nErica Lafontant\, pht\, B.

SUMMARY:Primitive Reflexes Influencing Movement & Motor Behavior in Halifax\, Canada (TBC)
DESCRIPTION:Course Description \nMovement is a foundation of physiotherapy rehabilitation. A sub group of patients have very poor coordination and this can interfere with traditional rehab (e.g.\, eloquently termed “motor morons” in Canada). Other patients just seem to have tightness in muscles that does not go way. This can be due to retained primitive reflexes. \n“It’s too simple – If someone doesn’t move well\, go back to when they learned how to move” \nPrimitive reflex inhibition are very gentle and easy to use strategies that can be applied right away in the clinic. \nPrimitive reflexes (PR) are brain stem-mediated\, complex automatic movement patterns that commence in utero.  If PR are present they will influence normal motor control and can interfere with normal rehabilitation. There are numerous causes of PR being present in neurologically intact adults (e.g.\, atypical birth history or developmental milestones especially walking and crawling; concussion). Numerous conditions are known to have retained primitive reflexes (e.g.\, ADHD\, Developmental Coordination Disorder\, dyslexia\, addictions\, scoliosis\, DM\, chronic LBP\, chronic WAD\, post concussion syndrome\, chronic shoulder pain\, stroke\, TBI). \nThe treatment of primitive reflexes can be used clinically in different ways to : \n\nreduce individual muscle tone in chronically short muscles (e.g.\, hamstrings\, gastrocnemius)\nincrease range of motion (e.g.\, upper cervical flexion\, glenohumeral joint medial rotation)\nimprove general coordination (e.g.\, clumsiness\, proprioception\, postural stability)\ntarget specific problems (e.g.\, toe walkers\, some torticollis)\nfacilitate pelvic floor rehab (e.g.\, pelvic floor asymmetry)\nimprove motor imagery (e.g.\, midline and musculoskeletal body image deficits)\nnormalize muscle tone (e.g.\, stroke)\n\nDuring this course we will cover the assessment and rehabilitation of PR in detail. Strategies for treatment in the clinic and home exercise will be covered.  Specific examples will be used to show how primitive reflex inhibition can immediately improve movement and motor behavior. \nThe course material has other uses for neurology\, concussion\, pediatrics and in helping regular clients learn exercises more quickly. \nThere are no pre-requisites for this course \n  \n

SUMMARY:Cervical Spine & TMJ: Movement & Loading Analysis for Motor Behavior Therapy in Laval\, Canada
DESCRIPTION:Email – ariel@physioactif.com \nCourse Description \nCervical spine and temporomandibular joint (TMJ) symptoms can arise from trauma such as whiplash\, but frequently it is an insidious\, recurrent and an ongoing problem for many people. This is often related to suboptimal loading on the tissues around the cervical\, orofacial and scapula-thoracic regions. \nThe mechanism driving the sub-optimal loading on the tissues may be the: \n\nMovement Pattern (too much and too little)\nTranslation Control of the joint\nBiomechanical Exposures to Loading\n\nThere is considerable individual variation in how these present. These loading mechanisms may present in combinations or alone. As well\, how the central nervous system tries to control the loading could be too much or too little. \nMotor control and sensory motor deficits can be identified in association with neck and TMJ pain. Following an episode of cervical pain changes occur in the central nervous system including: a loss of proprioceptive awareness\, reduced tactility\, deficits in oculomotor function\, altered postural stability\, and changes in movement patterns. As well\, the deep stabilising muscles have been shown to exhibit motor control deficits and the superficial muscles become more active at low threshold compared with non-neck pain subjects. The changes are more pronounced following whiplash. Tissues can be overloaded from uncontrolled segmental translation or compression due to the increased activity of the superficial muscles. \nAlteration of muscle activation of the scapula-thoracic muscles can result in the scapula adopting a downwardly rotated resting position and / or a loss of dynamic control of the scapula in functional arm movements. This can cause tissue loading in the shoulder and cervical regions provoking the patient’s pathology. \nThis course will provide participants with strategies to sub-classify a movement pattern control deficit in the cervical spine\, TMJ and whether this is influenced by the scapular function. \nMotor control retraining strategies will be introduced using a comprehensive and evidence based clinical reasoning process. This involves; specific activation of the appropriate stability muscles to control segmental translation of the anterior and posterior cervical spine; and superior and horizonal control of the TMJ; the retraining of movement patterns of the cervical spine and the TMJ. This can create an environment for normal healing by reducing tissue provocation. \nThe integration of other physiotherapy skills such as manual therapy\, myofascial trigger point release and progressive loading exercise will also be discussed. Some beneficial taping techniques will also be used. \nThe exercise progressions are described and strategies for the integration into function are discussed with participant examples and case studies to link it real life difficulties. \nCourse Objectives:  \n\nMake an accurate movement pattern control sub-classification and relate this to the client’s presentation\nUnderstand the relationship of scapular motor behavior to cervical and TMJ\nUse movement patterns as a clinical reasoning tool to help guide manual therapy and other techniques\nIntegrate the treatment of movement patterns and translation control into clinical practice\n\nWHAT WILL YOU GET FROM THIS COURSE THAT YOU MAY NOT ALREADY HAVE? \nCervical Segmental Stability – Posterior\nTranslation control is more than the deep neck flexors. The posterior muscles of the neck experience segmental atrophy and need to be specifically retrained. We’ll give you strategies. Learn alternative strategies to activate the anterior translation control muscles (deep neck flexors). \nTMJ Translation control \nWe have researched and developed strategies for translation control of the TMJ. \nHeavy Head Syndrome \nWe’ve all heard patients complain of a heavy head. Learn a simple way to rehab this \nUpper Trapezius is a Good Guy Muscle \nUpper trapezius does not elevate the scapula – it has a local and global stability role for the neck and shoulder girdle. It has a major stability influence on the neck\, shoulder and thoracic spine. It has an anticipatory timing pattern and is delayed with pain – similar to Transversus. It also experiences sudden atrophy – similar to Multifidus. It rarely loses extensibility so assessment and retaining needs to be specific. Lower trapezius does not pull the inferior angle of the scapula down and in. There are better ways to train lower trapezius for scapular stability! \nPrimitive Reflexes \nOver 90% of people with musculoskeletal pain have primitive reflexes. They contribute to altered motor control and tone. Learn how they will influence cervical and TMJ movement. \nMyofascial Trigger Point (MTP) Release\nMTP release is a useful way in many people to improve aspects of motor behavior (e.g.\, range of movement). In some people it can be a source of pain. Motor Behavior Therapy can be used to help desensitize MTP’s. \nNeurodynamics\nNeurodynamic reactivity can significantly affect the way people move. We’ll show how movement can be used to treat neurodynamic reactivity. \nTaping\nThere are some great taping techniques for the shoulder girdle\, forearm and neurodynamics!

SUMMARY:Body Imagery\, Central Pain and Complex Pain in Warsaw\, Poland
DESCRIPTION:Language – This course will be taught in English with translation \nCourse Description \nThere are more options besides addressing Psychology or  \nPain Physiology Education \nNot all pain has a mechanical behavior. Unfortunately\, many common traditional intervention strategies are largely dependent upon a “mechanical related” pain mechanism. \n“Pain mechanisms” are a subgroup since they represent a “process that is driving the disorder / pain”. Pain mechanisms are generally divided into: nociplastic (building on central sensitization)\, neuropathic and nociceptive. \nIt is our opinion that nociplastic or central sensitization is inadequate in fully explaining the diverse range of clinical presentations we see. There are problems in terminology use\, diagnosis\, and effective rehabilitation. \nOn this course we discuss these issues and attempt to solve these problems: \n\nNociplastic pain is considered a spectrum to help describe various presentations\nFunctional causation is considered to facilitate better treatment targeting\nBody Imagery Pain is introduced as it represents a non mechanical pain state that is not addressed in the definition of nociplastic pain or central sensitization.\n\nWhy do people: \n\nHave complex\, bizarre pain\, whole limb pain or paraesthesia?\nGet all their symptoms on one side of their bodies?\nFeel swelling when there isn’t any?\nHave one sided fatigue\, heaviness or other bizarre musculoskeletal-like complaints?\n\nWe’ll show you why and be able to explain strategies for appropriate body imagery pain education! \nThe brain needs to know what is happening in the body. It gets this information from sensory feedback and forming complex maps. When this information is deficient the brain will change its behavior to get this information. When it is absent\, significantly inaccurate or cannot be processed\, musculoskeletal symptoms can result.  This is the essence of body imagery pain.  It is now clear that our virtual brain and body imagery are involved in pain states. In some cases they can be a primary cause of the pain state! \nWe will cover the clinical diagnosis of nociplastic pain and body imagery pain based upon subjective history characteristics\, questionnaires and simple laboratory / physical assessment strategies. \nYou will leave with a clear understanding of how to diagnose various types of non mechanical pain\, along with the appropriate subjective history\, physical examination and questionnaires to use. You will be able to develop a rehabilitation program for clients with altered body imagery and / or nociplastic pain and have appropriate progressions and problem solving strategies. \nThis course is suitable for musculoskeletal\, neurological\, pediatric\, vestibular and pelvic health physiotherapists. \nIt can be tailored to meet the needs of specific groups.

SUMMARY:Shoulder Girdle & Forearm:  Movement & Loading Analysis for  Motor Behavior Therapy in Divača\, Slovenia
DESCRIPTION:Contact Tina Gerzel: gerzelj.tin1@gmail.com \nLanguage English \nCourse Description \nShoulder girdle and forearm symptoms can arise from trauma\, but frequently it is an insidious\, recurrent and an ongoing problem for many people. This is often related to sub-optimal loading on the tissues around the scapula-thoracic\, glenohumeral joints and forearm. \nThe mechanism driving the sub-optimal loading on the tissues may be the: \n\nMovement Pattern (too much and too little)\nTranslation Control of the joint\nBiomechanical Exposures to Loading\n\nThere is considerable individual variation in how these present. These loading mechanisms may present in combinations or alone.

This can cause tissue loading in the shoulder and cervical regions provoking the patient’s pathology. \nThe glenohumeral joint frequently displays a dysfunctional pattern of excessive anterior translation\, which is often combined with other neuromuscular deficits. This translation control deficit can contribute to tissue loading of local tendons and the glenohumeral joint. It is also a common neurodynamic interface. An anterior sitting humeral head also alters normal movement of the forearm and hand. This course involves a detailed assessment of the movement control patterns of the scapula-thoracic\, glenohumeral joints and forearm. \nSpecific motor control retraining strategies will be introduced using a comprehensive and evidence based clinical reasoning process. This involves; specific activation of the appropriate stability muscles to control segmental translation of the glenohumeral joint\, scapulothoracic proximal and distal radioulnar joints\, the carpus and the hand; the retraining of specific muscles to correct movement pattern control deficits; dynamic control of the scapula in functional movements; and the integration of these training strategies into a wider base of rehabilitation options. This can remove the tissue provocation and promote the normal healing process. Assessing and correcting scapula and glenohumeral movement can significantly improve post operative results as well. Some beneficial taping techniques will also be used. \nThe exercise progressions are described and strategies for the integration into function are discussed with participant examples and case studies. \nCourse Objectives:  \n\nMake an accurate movement pattern control diagnosis and relate this to the client’s presentation\nDistinguish shoulder pain between the scapula\, glenohumeral joint and cervical spine with a movement pattern control assessment\nUnderstand the relationship of scapular dysfunction to cervical dysfunction and glenohumeral dysfunction to forearm dysfunction\nUse movement patterns as a clinical reasoning tool to help guide manual therapy and other techniques\nIntegrate the treatment of movement patterns and translation control into clinical practice\n\nWHAT WILL YOU GET FROM THIS COURSE THAT YOU MAY NOT ALREADY HAVE? \nGrasp Reflex\nThe grasp primitive reflex is present in about 40% of the population. This contributes to increased muscle tone in the shoulder girdle and upper limb. We will show you how to treat it and how other primitive reflexes and sensory motor deficits are related to ongoing motor control deficits. \nKinetic Medial Rotation Test\nThe Kinetic Medial Rotation test is a newly validated test of shoulder girdle function (Morrisey\, 2005). This test differentiates between scapular and glenohumeral joint problems within the shoulder girdle. This helps give us a diagnosis and also lets us set priorities in rehabilitation. \nUpper Trapezius is a Good Guy Muscle \nUpper trapezius does not elevate the scapula – it has a local and global stability role for the neck and shoulder girdle. It has a major stability influence on the neck\, shoulder and thoracic spine. It has an anticipatory timing pattern and is delayed with pain – similar to Transversus.

Lower trapezius does not pull the inferior angle of the scapula down and in. There are better ways to train lower trapezius for scapular stability! \nAnconeus\, Supinator and Pronator Quadratus\nThese muscles have a translation control role in the forearm.  We have developed specific exercises like multifidus in the lumbar spine. \nWrist and Thumb Stability\nOur detailed dissection has identified a mechanism to stabilize the wrist\, thumb and individual joints of the fingers. \nMyofascial Trigger Point (TTP) Release\nMTP release is a useful way in many people to improve aspects of motor behavior (e.g.\, range of movement). In some people it can be a source of pain. Motor Behavior Therapy can be used to help desensitize MTP’s. \nNeurodynamics\nNeurodynamic reactivity can significantly affect the way people move.
