FEEDBACK FROM FELLOW CLINICIANS ON MDT AFTER RECENT COURSES:

  • I’m more comfortable understanding the importance of working full neck extension ROM and to differentiate upper and lower cervical spine movements.
  • MDT has made me more aware of the potential for extremity pain to be referred from the spine. Multiple shoulder pain patients have responded to cervical retraction.
  • MDT has offered me many new possibilities for the evaluation and treatment for my patients! I’ve been able to get such good results mainly with my Cx, thx and Lx patients using MDT. Really made my practice evolve to the next level!

 

Course Outline includes:

  • Patient demonstration, analysis and discussion (approx. 3-4 patients per course)
  • Pathophysiology and biomechanics of the cervical spine
  • Develop confidence with exercise prescription for neck and thoracic pain
  • Cervical headache and trauma (‘whiplash’)
  • Differentiating mechanical neck pain from red flags and serious pathologies
  • Indications for and practice of neck and thoracic manual techniques
  • Thoracic spine: anatomy, pathology, examination and treatment
