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

Dates: 24-25-26 Feb 12 (Start time is 18.00 on Friday)
CPD hours: 20 • cost: £385 • deposit: £200

Prof. Eyal Lederman has been practising osteopathy for over two decades. He completed his PhD in physiotherapy at King's College, where he researched the neurophysiology of manual therapy. He also researched and developed Harmonic Technique. He is involved in research examining the physiological effects of manual therapy and the development of Neuromuscular Re-abilitation. Prof. Lederman has been teaching manual therapy and the scientific basis of manual therapy in different schools in the UK and abroad. He has published articles in the area of manual therapy and is the author of the books "Harmonic Technique", "The Science and Practice of Manual Therapy" and
"Neuromuscular Rehabilitation in Manual and Physical Therapies".

EXAMPLE OF MOVEMENT REHABILITATION USING A FUNCTIONAL APPROACH:
30 years old patient. Traumatic brain injury ten years ago, was under rehab for 10 years before beginning
with the Golf Therapy program.
No other rehabilitation was used during this periods.
Frequency of treatment 2-3 times per week.
