Instructors:
Donna Bajelis, PT, CHP, SMS
Kelly Clancy, OTR/L, CHT, RBT, SMI
Workshop Objectives
-
To introduce Structural Medicine as a valuable new paradigm in the evaluation and treatment of Thoracic Outlet Syndrome.
-
To provide an introduction to objective myofascial evaluation and treatment of various pathologies related to structures in the upper quadrant.
-
To broaden the understanding among various healthcare professionals of the importance of the fascial network, and how the health of the whole system affects specific pathologies.
Learning Outcomes:
-
Participants will learn manual therapy technique and treatment strategies specifically related to myofascial meridians and tensegrity.
-
Participants will gain hands-on treatment skills to affect change in the myofascial structures to promote postural alignment related to pathology.
-
Participants will learn to evaluate and mold a model of effective treatment, synthesizing the principles of Structural Medicine and utilizing standardized, reproducible objective measures.
-
Participants will gain a plausible understanding of the fascial, neurological, lymphatic and muscular systems and the interrelationships of these systems in contributing to pathology and dysfunction.
-
Participants will gain an understanding of the fascial and neuromuscular pathology of Thoracic Outlet Syndrome.
-
Participants will be able to recognize structural patterns that induce certain forms of pathology of the upper extremity.
-
Participants will learn to objectively test and document restrictions and create a treatment plan that is within the scope of the series.
-
Participants will come to understand the spiral function of the upper extremity and its relationship to functional activities.
-
Participants will be able to implement immediately the testing and treatment methods of Structural Medicine.
