Meet at the Junctions
Taught by Steve Allen, PT, OCS, COMT, FAAOMPT
Course Description:
This course will focus on the key junctions of the spine, shoulder, hip and knee with emphasis on the biomechanical assessment and treatment to restore impaired mobility and minimize risk of downstream impact of osteoarthritis and instability. Use of thrust, non-thrust, and immediate neuromuscular techniques will be the emphasis in lab breakouts at the spinal junctions. Downstream potential for headache, impaired reach, gait, lifting, and dynamic performance will be reviewed with practiced lab breakouts. Latest updates on assessment of the patella femoral joint will be briefly discussed and practiced. Overview of common areas of impairment and vulnerability in the elderly will be presented with strategic interventions. Early intervention to minimize risk of osteoarthrosis.
Course Format: Lecture/Lab
Course Objectives
At the conclusion of this course, participants should be able to:
- Discuss, review and practice IFOMT 2020 guidelines in assessment and treatment of the cervical spine.
- Embrace and practice specific glides and traction techniques including use of thrust to the junctional- spinal motion segment.
- Embrace the concept of immediate neuromuscular uptraining following each manual technique with PNF, eccentric muscle training, and postural retraining.
- Examine, diagnose and intervene in areas of stress and-or limitation at the glenohumeral, hip and patella femoral joint with potential downstream impact of osteoarthrosis in the young athlete.
