Integrated Kinetics: Rehabilitation of the Cervical and Thoracic Spine Dysfunction:
A case based format with explore the scientific and clinical evidence for the utilization of a neuromotor control protocol for the rehabilitation of cervical and thoracic spine dysfunction. Diagnostic criteria and a rehabilitation algorithm has been designed to provide for the efficient and effective delivery of physical therapy care to treat acute as well as chronic spinal dysfunction, prevent reoccurrence, and optimize performance of daily, recreational, work, or sports activity. Hands-on video demonstrations of specific examination techniques, manual therapy techniques, therapeutic exercises, as well as movement re-education and task specific training modules will be presented.
Janet Hulme, PT
Solving the Mystery of the Pelvic Rotator Cuff and Abdominal Core Power:
The Pelvic Rotator Cuff and Abdominal Core Power is a revolutionary breakthrough in understanding trunk, pelvic and lower extremity function. It is a missing link to successful rehabilitation of back, SI, hip, knee and ankle dysfunction. This program includes anatomy and neurology of the pelvic rotator cuff and trunk muscles and their influence on back, SI, hip, knee and ankle function. Assessment includes analysis of motor control within the muscle system, neuromuscular control via the autonomic nervous system, and functional outcomes in back and lower extremity movement and pain patterns. Assessment and treatment with an emphasis on the integrated synergistic action of the pelvic, abdominal and back muscles in pelvic girdle and low back dynamic stabilization. This neuromuscular treatment approach includes rebalancing exercises using the pelvic rotator cuff and autonomic nervous system to achieve dynamic pain-free movement of the SI and low back.

Muscle Slings and Fascial Networks of the Trunk: Potential Influences to the Lowback:
The roles of all three muscle-fascial systems will be discussed relative to their potential influence on lumbopelvic mechanics. The objective of this presentation is to present the results of unique anatomical dissection approaches to the abdominal wall and fascia lata system, and couple them to previously published works related to the thoracolumbar fascia in order to provide a model of muscle function over the lumbopelvic region. Such anatomical studies provide one of the scientific rationales for the development of resistance exercise programs used to improve low back function.
James Porterfield, PT
Asymmetrical Overload Syndromes:
The goal of this program is to provide a comprehensive overview of the normal function of the spine as well as the assessment and treatment of disorders specific to it, i.e. cervical, thoracic, and lumbopelvic. Topics to be covered include an in-depth review of functional anatomy, biomechanics and neurophysiology of the spine, reaction of collagenous tissues to injury, and the physiological and psychological aspect of treatment. The premise is that a strong trunk is essential to efficiently move the upper and lower extremities. Therefore assessment and treatment of mechanical low back pain using physical therapy and exercise physiology concepts will be emphasized.
Sean Gallagher, PT
Dynamic Core Integration: Therapeutic Exercise with Manual Therapy Interventions, Authentic Pilates, the Feldenkrais Method, and a Patient-Centered Self-Care Program:
This portion of the symposium is designed to develop an integrated hands-on and exercise approach that can be utilized with your patients as soon as you return to the clinic. Learn how to integrate global and local core exercises with manual therapy techniques for the deep repatterning of the iliopsoas, quadrates lumborum, and multifidus muscles. Discussion will be directed towards trigger point treatment related to the muscle fiber type and their functional orientation in dynamic spinal movements. An understanding of the dynamic tonal balance achieved through the Feldenkrais Method, Pilates exercises and manual therapy interventions inherent in the muscles and fascia of the spinal musculature surrounding, stabilizing and moving the lumbar spine will be explored. In addition, small ball and foam roller self-massage for patient self-care will be demonstrated to provide patients with the tools to maintain and support functional movements in ADLs, as well as work and sports related activities.
Gordon Browne, PT
Grounding the Pelvis: Expanding, Prioritizing and Educating the Core
Moving and stabilizing the pelvis are both crucial to lumbo-pelvic stability and health, and the belly and back muscles are responsible for neither. Through demonstrations, video, partner drills and experiential movement sequences, you will have the opportunity to confirm or refute this heresy first-hand. Re-discover the primary role of the hips and legs in low back rehabilitation and relegate the core muscles to their appropriately smaller role as intervertebral stabilizers. Re-think your exercise strategies in terms of the specific movement skills and the differentiated relationships between legs, pelvis, low back and T-spine that our patients need to learn. Re-kindle your commitment to patient education and self-regulation by embracing integrated exercise and proprioceptive acuity facilitation techniques as your information delivery system.
