Description

A practical, clinically reasoned approach to joint-related pain and movement limitation.

Develop a whole-body approach to assessing and treating joint-related pain and movement limitation using passive and active joint mobilisation techniques.

Learn how to identify joint related dysfunction quickly and effectively and then how apply the right technique with progressions, to get immediate results.

ACE's Joint Therapeutics Course focuses on more than just learning a collection of techniques. You will develop the clinical reasoning to decide when, where and why to use joint mobilisation; how to progress the treatment; and how to connect passive manual therapy with active patient participation and home-based strategies.

This course integrates contemporary evidence relating to joint mobilisation, pain modulation and mechanisms of effect with objective assessment and goal-oriented treatment planning. The result is a practical framework designed to help you make clearer treatment decisions and improve outcomes for your patients.

What you will learn:

➡️ Describe the mechanisms and neurophysiology of joint mobilisation techniques and pain modulation
Attendees will be able to explore and explain the underlying mechanisms and neurophysiological responses associated with various joint mobilisation techniques, and how they can be applied to reduce pain and improve movement.

➡️ Integrate pain neuroscience principles into manual therapy
Attendees will be able to incorporate contemporary pain neuroscience into the assessment and manual therapy treatment of patients with movement-related pain.

➡️ Apply progressive manual therapy techniques
Attendees will be able to apply and adapt manual therapy approaches to effectively assess and treat functional movement deficits and movement-related pain.

➡️ Perform physical assessments
Attendees will integrate objective physical assessment methods, including functional movement testing, orthopaedic special tests, hand-held dynamometry, and algometry, into their manual therapy practice.

➡️ Gain a deeper understanding of 3D musculoskeletal anatomy and joint biomechanics
Attendees will explore joint biomechanics and anatomy in three dimensions using detailed presentation notes and complete anatomy software.

➡️ Identify clinical presentations of joint-related pain
Attendees will understand and discuss the clinical signs, symptoms, and mechanisms of injury associated with common joint-related pain presentations.

➡️ Apply joint mobilisation techniques across all regions of the body
Attendees will demonstrate proficiency in applying both passive and active joint mobilisation techniques to the foot and ankle, knee, hip, sacroiliac joint, lumbar spine, thoracic spine, cervical spine, shoulder, elbow, wrist, and hand.

➡️ Engage in case study discussions
Attendees will participate in discussions and apply joint mobilisation techniques within case study activities to enhance clinical decision-making skills.

➡️ Discuss the scientific evidence on joint mobilisation
Attendees will be guided through the scientific evidence related to the mechanisms of action, pain science, and the efficacy of joint mobilisation techniques.

➡️ Transition from passive to active treatment
Attendees will develop strategies to bridge the gap between passive joint mobilisation techniques and active patient participation in treatment.

➡️ Enhance clinical reasoning and assessment skills
Attendees will improve their assessment techniques and clinical reasoning abilities, allowing for more effective treatment planning and execution.

➡️ Teach and apply home-based self-mobilisation techniques
Attendees will be able to instruct patients in self-mobilisation techniques to support ongoing management and recovery at home.

Post-course video library

Upon successful completion of the course, you will receive access to a comprehensive video library with instructional video demonstrations of all techniques covered during the 2-day practical workshop. Use it to revisit key applications and reinforce your learning after the course.
