Painful Paradigms, Pain Science, and Neurodynamics, for the Lower Quarter
Seminar Description: This course is designed to provide a biopsychosocial insight into the emerging neuro-scientific revolution of pain science, particularly as it relates to plasticity of the brain and the dynamics of the nervous system. Modern concepts of pain neurophysiology will be taught which are vital in the care of every one of our patients' "painful" conditions. This course will assist the modern maual therapist on how to examine, evaluate and treat the physical health of the nervous system. It is geared toward practicing clinicians who want to learn how to effectively discern when pain is likely due to nociception, peripheral neuropathy or central sensitivity and how to approach with treatment. Additional intervention emphasis is placed on neurodynamics, engaging social forces to communicate with patients and imagery to reduce their painful experience. This is an intermediate level course.
Instructors:
Francois Prizinski, DPT, OCS, COMT, FAAOMPT, DAC
Joseph Brence, DPT, COMT, FAAOMPT, DAC
Registration Fee: $300
Approved for 8 CEUs

Seminar Description: The Motivation, Input, Plan is a clinically applicable model for motor control. This course is a comprehensive diagnostic course on addressing motor control deficits. Learning the MIP algorithm can assist a Physical Therapists ability to clinically reason and solve complex movement-based problems in any practice setting. In an attempt to move away from a series of techniques or interventions alone, the MIP algorithm takes into account biological, psychological, and social factors, which influence quality of movement. A biopsychosocial approach to motor control will be presented under motivation and realistic expectations, somatosensory techniques (manual therapy), visual and auditory inputs (clinician-directed) and cortical planning to execute movement. The purpose of this course is to enhance clinicians thought process to differentially diagnosis motor control deficits for treatment to match the patients needs and enhance the quality of movement as it applies to function.
