Physical Therapy and Sports Medicine Framework

Description

Ready to gain a better understanding of how to help your physical therapy clients recover from pain and injury? It starts with realizing that every injury and client is different, and that determines how you evaluate, treat, and communicate with them. This course will help you connect the dots between a movement dysfunction diagnosis and a treatment model that respects both a clinical diagnosis and a client-specific plan of care.

Learning Objectives

Upon completion of the course,

• Given an example of a global extension movement dysfunction with associated low back pain, the clinician will be able to appropriately identify the primary local component resulting in the client’s complaints.
• Given a clinical diagnosis of patello-femoral pain syndrome, the clinician should be able to independently determine the most relevant contributing local component predisposing the client to their primary global movement dysfunction.
• Given an example of hip flexion and hip flexion / internal rotation neuromuscular control dysfunction, the clinician will be able to systematically apply the 4x4 matrix systematic framework to restore pain-free closed chain squatting patterns.
• List the 3 key factors of the self-determination theory to lead to improved therapist-client interactions.
