About This Opportunity

NEXT LEVEL EXTREMITIES – AVAILABLE ONLINE!

You have clearly seen the benefits of using the McKenzie MDT system in the spine, you’ve got excited when you discovered Directional Preference and seen rapid responses even with patients with longstanding symptoms, and you’ve found satisfaction when you successfully classified patients not fitting with Derangement Syndrome.  Now is your chance to replicate your success with the extremities.  Become a skilled clinician at spinal / extremity differentiation, uncovering the remarkably quick changes to stubborn extremity symptoms of a spinal source.

Are you classifying approximately 40% of your patients with extremity symptoms as Derangements? If not, consider attending “MDT: Advanced Extremities” to ensure you do not miss any potential for Directional Preference.

FEEDBACK FROM FELLOW CANADIAN CLINICIANS ON A RECENT AE COURSE:

  • Richard is a fantastic educator and instructor. He was able to clarify many difficulties I was having with the cervical, thoracic, and upper extremity assessment. I feel that the MDT courses have advanced my practice knowledge by multiple years and instilled more confidence when treating more complicated patients.
  • Thank you to Richard Rosedale for being such an excellent instructor. I always leave his courses with a better understanding of the MDT approach and greatly appreciate all of his time and energy. I can’t wait for the next one!
  • The online format for the Advance Extremities course was not a problem, just as good and easy as in person. Thanks, it was a great course!
  • I have been using the MDT approach in my clinical practice for 10 years. The more courses that I have taken over time has continually furthered my knowledge of more effectively applying the MDT method to patient classification and determining the best treatment options for my patients. The outcomes have been excellent and my patients have seen very happy with the results. If you do not learn this system, you and your patients are missing out on better and more complete care!

 

Course Outline Includes:

  • Appropriately apply the McKenzie Method of Mechanical Diagnosis and Therapy to patients with extremity problems;
  • Distinguish between the McKenzie Syndromes (Postural, Dysfunction, and Derangement) as applied to the extremities;
  • Provide appropriate management regimens for each of the syndromes;
  • Identify when force progressions and force alternatives are required for the resolution of symptoms using McKenzie’s ‘progression of forces’ concept;
  • Design and apply appropriate MDT management for patients presenting with extremity symptoms to enable them to achieve their management goals.
  • Legitimate patient demonstrations.

 

WHAT TO EXPECT:

This intensive two-day course, conducted fully online with live course instruction, will focus on more advanced principles and practical application through clinical reasoning, problem solving, analysis of case studies, assessment and treatment of patients, and technique work.
