FULL-DAY AND WEEKEND COURSES
_____________________________________________________________________________________
FUNCTIONAL STRETCHING
Prof. Eyal Lederman
Functional stretching is a new clinical approach that combines passive and active stretching and is applied within functional movement patterns. This approach aims to help the recovery of normal functional movement ranges for patients who experience movement losses due to tissue shortening and adhesions. This research-based approach has been developed in response to the limitations of traditional passive and active stretching techniques, which by themselves are ineffective clinical tools in helping patients regain normal ranges of movement in the long-term.
Outcome of course:
Understanding of physiological mechanisms of shortening and lengthening adaptation in tissues
Understand the neurological / movement control factors associated with loss of movement range
Be able to identify the indications for therapeutic stretching
Be able to identify which stretching techniques are most suitable for your patients' conditions
Understand the differences between therapeutic and recreational stretching
Review various stretching approaches
Learn new functional stretching techniques to optimise therapeutic outcome

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

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.
