  • NUTRITION AND TISSUE REPAIR AFTER INJURY
     
    Dr Adam Cunliffe

  • Tissue damage may be the result of long-term wear and tear, acute injury or surgery. In this lecture Adam will look at the processes underlying local and systemic responses to tissue damage, as well as discussing the nutritional strategies for enhancing tissue repair and recovery from injury and surgery.

  • UPDATE ON MUSCLE INJURY AND REPAIR - IMPLICATIONS FOR PHYSICAL THERAPIES
     
    Prof. Mark Lewis

  • The success of any manual/physical treatment relies on the ability of the therapist to stimulate/assist the body's own repair process. In this update lecture Prof. Lewis will examine repair in muscle and the clinical implications of research in this area, in particular, how it may influence the choice of techniques and exercise approaches in helping muscle recovery and normaliszing muscle function after injury.

  • NUTRITION AND INFLAMMATION
     
    Dr. Adam Cunliffe

  • Inflammation underlies a wide range of many conditions seen in manual and physical therapy practice. In this lecture Adam will explore the role of nutritional status and intervention in relation to inflammation, with special emphasis on chronic inflammatory disorders. He will also discuss the dietary and supplemental approaches that may help to modulate these inflammatory processes.

  • THE FALL OF THE STRUCTURAL MODEL - WHAT'S NEXT?
     
    Prof. Eyal Lederman

  • In the last two decades, understanding of the musculoskeletal injuries and pain conditions has dramatically changed through research. It has been consistently demonstrated that the causes of many common musculoskeletal conditions are not related to structural, biomechanical, alignment and symmetry issues. These findings have far-reaching clinical implications for all manual/ physical disciplines, including osteopathy. This body of knowledge challenges many beliefs that are at the foundations of the structural model in osteopathy and other physical therapies.Using lower back pain as an example, Eyal will discuss these research findings and how they impact all aspects of the osteopathic profession from teaching and clinical examination to the practice of osteopathy. It will be followed by introducing alternative, more current, models for osteopathy.

  • NUTRITION AND EXERCISE - OPTIMISING PERFORMANCE
     
    Dr. Adam Cunliffe

  • Diet and exercise capacity are intimately inter-related. Acquired and innate factors in performance will be discussed and nutritional approaches to preparation and recovery from exercise highlighted. The role of diet, supplements and hydration will be explored as ways of optimising human performance and limiting exercise-induced stress.

  • IS BACK PAIN DIAGNOSABLE?
     
    Barry Jacobs

  • Is there any value in standing examination? Are palpatory findings of any use? Can MRI inform us about the tissue causing symptoms, underlying processes or aetiology of back pain? Which examinations are most important and which are redundant? Is it possible to diagnose back pain?In the last decade and a half the notion of diagnosing back pain has become uncomfortably vague. In this lecture Barry will "examine the examinations" to establish whether the medical, imaging and osteopathic diagnostic procedures have the capacity to inform the therapist about the tissues or the underlying processes causing pain. He will also focus and discuss the relevance of osteopathic procedures such as the standing and palpatory examination for diagnosis and explore the future of spinal examination.
