Hello all
MTI is excited to announce the 2021 line up of Continuing Education courses. We believe you will enjoy these courses as each of them will advance your problem-solving skills and hands on techniques.
Jeremy Lewis PT, PhD is teaching a one-day remote course on June 26th. Initially this course was planned as a 2 day in-person course, but with COVID lockdowns still firmly in place in England we felt it would be better if we planned this course remotely.
Jeremy Lewis is a world-renowned physical therapist and researcher who specializes in rotator cuff related shoulder problems. Jeremy’s work presents a paradigm shift in the way we approach shoulder rehabilitation, much like Jill Cook’s work is paradigm shift in the way we treat LE tendon related problems.
In this one- day course Jeremy will present the latest research on rotator cuff related shoulder pain, as well as the latest research on painful stiff shoulders. He will also discuss relevant treatment options, so you are able to translate the most up to date research in clinical practice.
A CCU certificate (7.5 CCU’s) will be provided upon completion of the course.
Course date: June 26
Tuition fee: $ 250
Daryl Herbert DO will teach a 2-day course on Advanced Joint Manipulations on July 17-18 at Texas State University-Round Rock. This two-day seminar will focus on Minimal Lever Mid Range (MLMR) Manipulation of the spine and extremities. Special emphasis will be put on the upper cervical, spine CT junction and TL junction, paying particular attention to safety, comfort, control, effectiveness and efficiency. MLMR techniques will be clearly defined and described. The course will be 75% practical and 25% theory, with clearly demonstrated and rehearsed hands-on practice with exercises for developing the different types of practical skills required and necessary to develop optimum manipulation. Classes will be taught using computerised audio-visual aids.
A course hand out will be provided and a series of videos of the techniques can be purchased at the course.
Class size will be limited to 20 participants, to ensure proper hands-on instruction. A CCU certificate (15 CCU’s) will be provided upon completion of the course.
Course date: July 17-18
Location: Texas State University-Round Rock
Tuition fee: $510
Shirley Sahrmann PT, PhD, FAPTA will teach a 2-day course at Texas State University-Round Rock on September 18-19. Topic: Movement System Impairment Syndromes of the Lumbar Spine and Shoulder
This course will describe the kinesiopathologic model, the theoretical construct of the movement system. The model explains the relationships between the musculoskeletal and nervous systems that lead to the development of musculoskeletal pain syndromes. The role of biomechanics and specific tissue adaptations will be described. The key factors are relative flexibility, relative stiffness, and motor control that result in a path of least resistance for joint movement. The movement is proposed to be a microinstability resulting from altered accessory motions. The microinstability leads to microtrauma and microtrauma. The model is intended to explain how movement is the cause of musculoskeletal pain and thus needs to be the focus of treatment rather than treatment for symptoms or the pathoanatomical problem. The patterns of movement causing the symptoms can be classified and form the basis of movement system impairment (MSI) syndromes. The role of the hip in lumbar syndromes and the scapula in the shoulder joint syndromes and the evidence for the syndromes will be discussed
A CCU certificate (15 CCU’s) will be provided upon completion of the course.
Date: September 18-19, 2021
Location: Texas State University-Round Rock
Tuition fee: $510
