HOW TO SUPPORT YOUR PATIENTS IN THE PROCESS OF CHANGE
Tsafi Lederman & Jenny Stacey
How often do you find your patients haven't managed to make the changes necessary to sustain their recovery?
The success of treatment often relies on the patient's participation in the overall management of their condition.
However, compliance and adherence to all forms of self-care has been shown to be low in different musculoskeletal conditions.
Some patients may need help in changing habitual patterns of behaviour that impede recovery.
In this course participants will learn clinical skills to support their patients in embedding behavioural patterns that can
support recovery.
There will be an exploration of the process of change and how to provide the necessary environment for
sustaining recovery. The participants will be introduced to some basic skills and models used in Coaching
(Prochaska Change Model and GROW), as well as exploring the psychological dynamics that can get in the way of change.

NEUROMUSCULAR RE-ABILITATION
Prof. Eyal Lederman
This three-day workshop explores the natural processes underlying neuromuscular recovery and how they can be applied clinically to improve the control of movement.
We will also look at the factors that may impede recovery. This will be used as a clinical model for management of a wide range of conditions such as neuromuscular rehabilitation of musculoskeletal injuries, psychomotor conditions and for movement rehabilitation of individuals suffering from CNS damage.
The approach used in this workshop is based on two levels of rehabilitation: skill level (skill rehabilitation) and ability level rehabilitation (re-abilitation).
Skill level rehabilitation aims to engage the individual in exercising their losses as close as possible to the skills which have been affected.
Re-abilitation focuses on helping recover the underlying control elements of movement called motor abilities. During the workshop the participants will learn to assess and identify the particular ability losses and develop specific treatment strategies to help motor recovery.
The practical aspect of the course will include hands-on approaches as well as specific challenges / exercise to regain and improve control of posture and movement.
(See www.cpdo.net for video clip of Re-abilitation of the shoulder.)
By the end of the workshop the participants will reach several clinical goals:
Be able to develop and provide a programme for neuromuscular rehabilitation
Learn to rehabilitate movement control after joint and muscle injuries
Be able to provide neuromuscular rehabilitation post-surgery (hip, shoulder, lower back and more)
Be able to work with cognitions and behaviour in managing conditions associated with emotional stress (painful jaw, chronic neck and shoulder pain, suboccipital pain, tension headaches and lower back pain)
Treat patients with central nervous system damage (stroke, MS, head injuries)
Develop specific exercise and functional activities to support movement rehabilitation

POSITIONAL RELEASE TECHNIQUES (PRT)
Leon Chaitow
Positional Release Techniques (PRT), including Strain-Counterstrain and Functional Technique, are soft tissue methods that rely on precise positioning of dysfunctional tissues in ways that allow a spontaneous response that releases or reduces excessive tension and/or spasm.
The mechanisms are thought to result from spindle resetting, reduction in nociceptive sensitivity, and circulatory enhancement. More recent research indicates a rapid beneficial influence on fascial structures.
These methods are ideal for acute situations, but can usefully be added to treatment of chronic dysfunction, and can be combined with other soft tissue and joint mobilisation approaches.
PRT workshops include topics which set the use of the methods in context, as well as practical (hands-on) application of these safe, effective and well-researched methods.
By the end of the course the participant should have:
An understanding of the methodology, cautions and precautions relating to the use of PRT in a clinical setting
An awareness of the therapeutic value of PRT, (particularly strain/counterstrain (SCS) based on clinical and research evidence as well as experiential evidence
The ability to employ PRT for first aid care of recent onset pain - and for self-application
The ability to show patients self-management use of this research evidence as well as experiential
An understanding of the value of PRT in chronic pain, trigger point and restriction settings
An awareness of the wide range of PRT-related approaches used in osteopathy, chiropractic and physical therapy
The workshop will incorporate lecture, extensive handout notes, PowerPoint and video presentations, hands-on instruction and practice.

MANAGING SHOULDER CONDITIONS USING A PROCESS APPROACH
Prof. Eyal Lederman
A practical workshop exploring the theory and management of common shoulder conditions seen in clinic.
In particular, the workshop will focus on frozen shoulder, impingement syndrome and post-operative management of the shoulder.
There will be discussion of the aetiology and the pathophysiological mechanisms associated with these conditions and a review of current research findings. Many of the shoulder conditions seen in clinic are associated with complex processes that are not related to postural, structural or biomechanical predisposing factors.
For this reason a process approach will be used as a model for management. In a process approach the focus is on the tissue, neurological and psychological processes that underlie the patient's condition. The management aims to match the most suitable interventions according to these processes rather than aiming to correct structural imbalances or anomalies.
A process approach can reduce the duration of treatment/recovery of many shoulder conditions from many months to several weeks. In the workshop participants will learn how to develop specific treatment strategies and how to match the most suitable manual techniques and exercise to the patient's condition. The practical session will include a demonstration and practice of specific manual techniques and exercise.

HARMONIC TECHNIQUE
Prof. Eyal Lederman
This is a practical course providing an opportunity to learn a popular osteopathic approach that can be used to treat a wide range of conditions. In the last two decades extensive research has demonstrated the importance of passive motion for repair processes in acute and chronic musculoskeletal conditions. Harmonic Technique is characterised by passive motion, which can be applied to different areas of the body.
These techniques are used to assist and direct repair processes in the body using a gentle non-painful and non-traumatic treatment approach.
The course will examine the physiological and biomechanical aspects of Harmonic Technique and the clinical application of the technique. In particular it will study the effects of Harmonic Technique on inflammation, fluid flow (Harmonic Pump Techniques) and adaptation. Other aspects of the technique will also be discussed such as its potential neurological pain relief effects and psychological influences.
There will also be a demonstration of how to use Harmonic Technique in treating a wide range of conditions seen in clinic, such as acute disc and frozen shoulder.

FUNCTIONAL STRETCHING
Prof. Eyal Lederman
Clinical stretching has limited contribution to recovery of movement range in many musculoskeletal conditions -
Immediate: 30, short-term: 10, long-term: 00 (Cochrane Database, CD007455)
Find out why and how it can be resolved
Functional stretching is a clinical approach that focuses on active restoration of movement range, using task-specific, functional movement patterns. This approach is useful for recovering movement losses due to post-injury changes, immobilisation, surgery, frozen shoulder and central nervous system damage. Functional stretching has been developed over 10 years. It is informed by research in areas of tissue adaptation, motor control and cognitive-behavioural sciences.
Outcome of course:
Understanding the biomechanical, biological, neurological and psychological-behavioural processes associated with loss of movement range
Understanding the processes associated with long-term length adaptation and recovery of movement range
Ability to identify the indications for therapeutic stretching
Ability to identify which stretching techniques are most suitable for your patients' conditions
Understanding the differences between therapeutic and recreational stretching
Review of various stretching approaches
Learning new functional stretching techniques to optimise therapeutic outcome in various musculoskeletal conditions

MET IN MANAGEMENT OF SPINAL, RESPIRATORY & PELVIC DYSFUNCTION
Leon Chaitow
Muscle Energy Techniques (MET) have emerged from a background of osteopathic soft tissue manipulation methodology. They represent a variety of techniques that have, in common, active participation of the patient in the process of inducing either post-isometric relaxation or reciprocal inhibition, as a preparation for subsequent mobilization of soft tissues or joints, in both acute and chronic conditions. While superficially similar to PNF methods, MET is considered more effective by osteopaths. The 2-day workshop will involve approximately 30% theory/lecture and 70% hands-on practice of the methods.
By the end of the course the student should have:
An evidence-informed understanding of the rationale and methodology of use of a variety of osteopathic MET approaches, and the ability to apply these in clinical settings to neck, thoracic & pelvic pain
Evidence-informed understanding, and the ability to apply a range of functional assessment methods for identification of specific soft tissue and articular dysfunctions, prior to application of MET
An awareness of a variety of clinically useful MET approaches applicable to dysfunctional soft tissues
An increased ability to justify the choice of MET in the management of soft tissue and joint dysfunction in the thoracic and pelvic regions

MANAGING ACUTE AND CHRONIC NECK CONDITIONS - A PROCESS APPROACH
Prof. Eyal Lederman & Tsafi Lederman
A practical workshop exploring the theory and management of neck conditions commonly seen in practice. In particular, the workshop will focus on acute and chronic neck pain, cervical disc conditions and trapezius myalgia.
The workshop will introduce a Process Approach model of management as an alternative to the traditional structural
approaches of treatment. A Process Approach explores the biological, neuromuscular and psychological processes that
underline the patient's condition and aims to provide the most suitable intervention. This alternative model is
useful as the cause of many neck conditions is not associated with structural or biomechanical factors.
The workshop will explore the processes associated with different neck conditions and rationales for management.
A large proportion of the workshop will be practical. It will include hands-on sessions using manual approaches
and neuromuscular rehabilitation that encompass specific exercise and movement challenges to recover head and neck control. The workshop will also provide participants with clinical tools that will enable them to develop their work within the psychological dimension. This part of the workshop will be run by Tsafi Lederman who specialises in body-psychotherapy.
