The Comprehensive Capacity approach to therapeutic neuroscience education, manual therapy and injury/pain treatment
Brief Course Description
The biopsychosocial model of pain and injury has been argued as superior to the traditional biomedical approach for more than two decades. However, traditional therapy typically relies on explanations and a clinical reasoning model that is predominantly biomechanics based.
Significant research in the pain neurosciences and biomechanics field often appears to undermine the reasoning and justifications for many of the therapeutic approaches and techniques of the physical therapy profession. By addressing the both the weaknesses and strengths of the biomechanical approach we can see that treatment can be much simpler, congruent with the cognitive, neuroscience approach and best evidenced based practice.
This course teaches the therapist how to teach patients about pain science in a treatment
framework that still utilizes specific/corrective exercise and manual therapy. Therapists are taught a model of treatment that simplifies†the assessment process and the treatment.
Special topics include therapeutic neuroscience education, cognition target therapeutic explanations, determining when biomechanics matters, assessment and exercise prescription, up to date Tendinopathy rehabilitation protocols, a reconceptualization of manual and exercise therapy that is symptom modification based rather than biomechanically driven.
Course Goals
● up to date assessment techniques for partitioning the role of biomechanics and therapeutic neuroscience in the treatment of pain and injury
●demonstration of how biomechanical treatments and explanations can address the multidimensional nature of pain
● exercise prescription informed by biomechanics and therapeutic neuroscience
● simplified manual therapy techniques that are consistent with therapeutic neuroscience and the biomechanics of manual therapy
● immediate means of applying therapeutic neuroscience to a traditional biomedically based practice
● confidence in the leaving behind the traditional and outdated biomechanical model ofcare while learning how to integrate previously learned skills
● access to patient centred handouts and web-based tutorials that reinforce the teachings and approach of the therapist to their patient
