Retraining Lumbo-Pelvic Stability & Functional Recovery for Back pain Patients
Presented by
DR BARBARA HUNGERFORD PhD
B.App.Sci.Physiotherapy. Member A.P.A.,.S.M.A.
Retraining lumbo-pelvic stability in patients with back pain is often difficult due to the severity and complexity of their dysfunction. Postural habits, poor movement control, and altered timing of muscle recruitment can perpetuate pain and an inability to regain functional stability. Rehabilitation is therefore complex and requires an understanding of the changes that occur in a patients body with pain, and tools to retrain them towards optimal movement and stability.
This 1 day course reviews lumbo-pelvic anatomy and biomechanics in order to create a framework for assessment of lumbo-pelvic stability and motor control. It then provides a practical framework to address your patients dysfunction and determine how to release overactive muscles, alter posture, and improve your patients understanding of their movement patterns and pain so that they can be actively involved in their rehabilitation. Retraining core stability and gluteal function is then integrated into a progressive rehabilitation program.
Course Aims:
- Review anatomy and biomechanics of the pelvis and lumbar spine and the definitions of joint stability and functional load transfer through the lumbo-pelvic region
- Apply a biomechanical model in order to define dysfunction in the lumbo-pelvic region
- Present a biomechanical framework as a basis for assessment of muscular function in the lumbar spine, pelvis and hip region
- Provide practical sessions during which assessment of the lumbo-pelvic region will be applied.
- Integrate myo-fascial techniques into treatment in order to release overactive muscles prior to retraining core acivation
- Provide practical sessions to consider retraining of posture and functional movement patterns
- Application of a specific exercise program for regaining lumbo-pelvic stability including core retraining, plus activation of gluteus minimus, medius and maximus for lumbo-pelvic and pelvic-hip control
- Discuss exercise programs, intensity of exercise, and difficult patient presentations
