This is an excellent course to take as an introduction to ConnectTherapy™. If you've previously taken a course with Dr. Linda-Joy (LJ) Lee, the creator of ConnectTherapy™, this is also an excellent opportunity to focus on your Pelvis Driver & Abdominal Wall assessment & treatment skills. Low back pain and pelvic girdle pain are common problems experienced by patients seen in clinical practice, from postpartum women to elite athletes. A challenge for therapists and patients is that often these problems are recurrent and chronic, and research evidence to indicate what the most effective treatment protocol for these injuries is often contradictory and leaves the responsible clinician with more questions. Furthermore, the physiotherapist may have several patients with the exact same presentation of “SIJ pain” or “SIJ instability” but who do not respond to the same treatment and training interventions. Why do some patients respond to treatment of the low back, pelvis and hip region but others do not? The answer lies in understanding not only the function of the pelvis, abdominal wall, and low back, but also how these regions behave in the context of whole body, meaningful movements. By understanding the connections of the pelvis to the rest of the body. The pelvis may be symptomatic, but may not be the underlying cause of the symptoms. Effective rehabilitation of any problem facing patients requires consideration of how loads are transferred through the entire body during tasks that have meaning for the patient. An important consideration is that the location of pain does not always correlate to the underlying cause of the problem. That is, dysfunction in other areas of the body, whether painful or not, may be the true underlying cause, or “Driver” of the patient’s problem. The ConnectTherapy™ model provides a total body assessment and treatment framework to connect dysfunctional areas to the painful problem and determine the most effective treatment approach. This course teaches you the skills to determine when the pelvis is the true Driver for the patient’s problem, or a victim from a Driver elsewhere. On this 4.5 day course you will learn and practice: - observational and hands-on skills needed to determine if the pelvis is optimally or non-optimally transferring loads during whole body functional tasks related to daily activities and sport in Meaningful Task Analysis (MTA) (Lee LJ 2008) -assessing for imbalanced Intra-Thoracic & Intra-Abdominal pressure and different zones of a “pressure belly” the diagnostic tests to determine if the pelvis is the patient’s Primary Driver, and the signs and skills to determine where to go next. You’ll use the Drivers Diagnostics Chart™ clinical reasoning algorithm, unique to ConnectTherapy, that enables you to clearly see the connections throughout the body. Please note this course is split into two components. The first component is the Online Virtual ConnectTherapy™ , the Pelvis & the Abdominal Wall Course and the recordings must be watched prior to the In-Person portion, these are provided upon registration and access to the recording are available for 12 months. 2.5 days of In-Person learning with LJ & the Assisting Team in Sydney, Australia, to learn the hands-on assessment and treatment skills that will change your practice
