Location

BC Section of Sport Physiotherapy Canada presents:

Soft Tissue Myofascial Management of Pelvic & Thoracic Outlets

April 21 & 22, 2012    8:30am – 4pm

Location: Pinnacle Sports Physiotherapy, Kelowna, BC

This two day very practical course provides participants with a better understanding of how Pelvic and Thoracic Outlet Syndromes can cause so many of the clinical presentations in our Physiotherapy practice.

The first day covers the principle of Double Crush Syndrome and the signs and symptoms of clients presenting with Anterior and Posterior Pelvic Outlet Syndrome. Case examples are given and specific examples are shown in people participating on the course. The Pelvic Outlet Syndromes are responsible for causing or contributing to hip impingement, hip pain, unexplained weakness or buckling, chronic       functional ankle instability, patellofemoral pain syndrome, and false sciatica or paraesthesia.

The second day reviews clinical case examples with practice of techniques from the first day. The presenting signs and symptoms of Thoracic Outlet Syndrome are covered. Examples are shown to illustrate the importance of understanding the Thoracic Outlet in patients presenting with neck pain, medial and lateral epicondylitis, shoulder impingement, and arm paraesthesia.

This is a very practical hands-on course. Participants are provided with illustrated notes that explain the techniques. The concepts and hands on techniques can be used with enthusiasm in your patients to help your clinical outcomes.
