COURSE CONTENT
PHYSIOLATES MODULE 1
Dynamic Motor Control.
Significant research in motor control throughout the musculoskeletal system has been emerging over the past decade, highlighting patterns of dysfunction and muscle impairment found not only in the lumbo-pelvic region, but in the lower limb, cervical spine and scapulo-humeral region.
Current research is also suggesting that these patterns of dysfunction can be improved with specific therapeutic exercise in each region.
This course attempts to illuminate these patterns of dysfunction in the upper and lower quadrants, and in a very clinically accessible way, covers methods to facilitate the relevant stability muscles to improve motor control in each region.
Objectives of the course:
To update knowledge of current research on motor control and muscle impairments in the upper and lower quadrants.
To develop clinical skills of assessment of poor motor control patterns in the upper and lower quadrants.
To develop a familiarity with various clinical instruments, such as EMG, Ultrasound Imaging,the pressure biofeedback unit (PBU) and hand dynamometer to enhance dynamic joint stability.
To facilitate and improve poor motor control patterns in the various regions with the aid of these various clinical instruments and taping where applicable.
Day 1 Registration
Overview of the latest research of motor control and therapeutic exercise in the lumbo-pelvic and hip region Clinical practical: Motor control assessment of the lumbo-pelvic region using functional tests, pressure biofeedback unit (PBU), ultrasound imaging (USI) and surface EMG (SEMG).
Clinical practical continued: Facilitation and progression of stability muscles in lumbo-pelvic and hip region to enhance dynamic joint stability using PBU, USI, taping and SEMG Overview and latest research of motor control and therapeutic exercise in the knee
Clinical Practical: Motor control assessment and therapeutic exercise of the knee using functional tests, taping and SEMG. Case studies/ Discussion/ synopsis
Day 2 Overview and latest research of motor control and therapeutic exercise in the ankle Clinical practical: Motor control assessment of the ankle using functional tests and SEMG.
Facilitation and progression of stability muscles in the ankle to enhance dynamic joint stability using taping and SEMG. Overview and latest research of motor control and therapeutic exercise in the cervical spine.
Clinical Practical: Motor control assessment of the cervical spine using the PBU in the cervical spine. Facilitation and progression of stability muscles to enhance dynamic joint stability in the cervical spine using PBU and SEMG
Overview and latest research of motor control and therapeutic exercise in the upper limb. Facilitation and progression of stability muscles in the upper limb to enhance dynamic joint stability using taping, hand dynamometry and SEMG Case studies to consolidate theories and their clinical applications.
PHYSIOLATES MODULE 2
ADVANCING DYNAMIC JOINT STABILITY- AN INTRODUCTION TO PILATES.
Day 1 -Summary of evidence base and recent research of principles of motor control and therapeutic exercise in the upper and lower quadrants will be presented. A brief history of pilates will be included, and how/where it fits in to the motor control model. -Assessment sheet developed by PPA -Introduction to equipment and safety issues Lower Quadrant -Demonstration and practise of easy level lower quadrant pilates matwork and equipment exercises and their rationale, precautions and modifications. This includes basic matwork, reformer, spine corrector and cadillac. That the desired result of a chosen exercise can be achieved across the various pieces of equipment is demonstrated and practised, with subtleties between the pieces of equipment explored.
Day 2 - Completion lower quadrant pilates; - Upper Quadrant pilates exercises. - Case studies to consolidate theory and practise, during which students must demonstrate good rationale and understanding of exercises relevant to the pathology in question.
PHYSIOLATES PILATES INSTRUCTOR OPTION
ADVANCING DYNAMIC JOINT STABILITY- ADVANCED PILATES
This course is an extension of Pilates level 1, but takes the exercises to an advanced level of strength and control required. Once again, the exercises are demonstrated across all pieces of equipment. Case studies and short practical examination will be required to complete level 2. Once level 2 has been successfully completed, the participant's name will be added to the Physio Pilates Aus database on the website under "Practitioners". In addition, a case study of a patient must be presented and handed in by each student. 30 observation hours and 10 teaching hours are also required, as well as an exam before certification can be approved.
