Electrotherapy for Tissue Repair – Pref. Tim Watson
2 CPD hours Self Directed Learning
Cost: £45.00
A range of Electrophysical Modalities have an evidenced role in facilitating the repair of injured tissues. They are not equal in either their effects on the process nor the mechanisms through which they work. They are not best employed in isolation, but in conjunction with other interventions to provide an optimal care package. This online session video aims to look at which of the modalities has a beneficial evidenced effect and in order to make the material clinically relevant and immediately applicable, we will consider how clinical decision making can be informed by the available evidence – which modality to select and when and for what reason.

Fall of the postural-structural model
Up to 3 CPD hours Self Directed Learning
Cost: £25.00
▪ The body is not a machine
▪ It can’t be fixed like a machine
▪ Musculoskeletal and pain conditions reside within the biological not biomechanical dimension
▪ Recovery from all conditions is a biological not mechanical process
A postural-structural-biomechanical (PSB) model is prevalent in many forms of manual and physical therapies. This model is used to explain the causes of various musculoskeletal and pain conditions. Within this model is the belief that ‘bad’ posture, body asymmetries and poor biomechanics are the cause of commonly seen musculoskeletal and pain conditions.
The PSB model also plays an important role in clinical assessment and management, including the choice of manual techniques and the exercise prescribed. However, the in the last three decades research has consistently challenged and eroded the PSB model with profound implications to manual and physical therapies. This lecture will examine the chasm between research and the PSB model, using lower back pain as an example. It will introduce the participants to a Process Approach model which aim to heal that widening gap.

Functional Exercise Prescription
Up to 5 CPD hours Self Directed Learning
Cost: £95.00
In this lecture video Dr Lederman will explore exercise prescription from an osteopathic Process Approach perspective. This approach aims to identify the dominant recovery processes associated with the patient’s complaint and provide a management that is patient and condition specific. This unique osteopathic approach uses the individual’s own movement repertoire found in daily tasks and activities to provide the necessary movement challenges to support recovery.
The workshop will look at the timescales for commencement of exercise after injury, surgery and chronic musculoskeletal conditions. It will also explore how to challenge movement losses in the presence of pain; in particular, identifying when physical loading is safe and beneficial. The workshop will also discuss exercise prescription in relation to enhancing physical and sports performance.
The workshop is modelled on a functional approach in which the movement challenges are derived from the individual’s own movement repertoire. A functional approach is different to traditional remedial exercise practices that are mostly derived from the fitness/strength and conditioning industry. These traditional approaches are often unsuitable and ineffective for individuals recovering from various musculoskeletal and pain conditions.
Condition specific management will be explored through a Process Approach. There are three primary processes underlying recovery from all musculoskeletal and pain conditions – repair, adaptation and modulation of symptoms. In the workshop the participants will learn how to supports these processes with remedial activities/exercise.
In this workshop the participants will learn a current, science informed, approach that can provide a therapeutic continuum between the clinical session and the patient’s environment. This approach will allow you to develop more effective remedial and self-care exercise management that can be applied to a wide range of musculoskeletal and pain condition. In the workshop you will explore how your own remedial approaches can be integrated into the management. Overall, the workshop will provide you with knowledge to develop suitable movement / exercise and self-care plans to further assist the pace and success of your patients’ recovery.
▪ All human physical activity is exercise
▪ Be inducted to the life gym – using daily activities for rehabilitation
▪ Discover “functioncise”: exercise prescription without ‘exercise’
▪ Learn to construct a personalised and condition specific exercise management

Proprioception workshop
Up to 5 CPD hours Self Directed Learning
Cost: £25
In this lecture video Prof. Eyal Lederman will explore the role of proprioception in human movement, how this system is affected and recovers in musculoskeletal and pain conditions and how this recovery can be enhanced in rehabilitation.
Proprioception is an area in physical therapies and training where facts are mixed with therapeutic myths to the detriment of effective management. This workshop will aim to untangle this mix and provide the participants with a better understanding of how to work more effectively with proprioception.
Other topics explored in the workshop include:
▪ Can the motor system be controlled by proprioceptors, i.e. control of muscle tone?
▪ Are there proprioceptive specific exercises?
▪ Is fascia the largest sensory organ in the body?
▪ Can proprioception improve/recover with manual therapy?
