COURSE DESCRIPTION:
This class is intended to assist the clinician in maintaining their primary focus on enabling patient independence from the medical system including the need for PT.
The stratification of patients can be effectively summarized as those requiring intervention, rehabilitation, management or prophylaxis.The recent trend to evidence-based practice has brought along with it an unintentional and inappropriate bias toward the intervention phase.
This class will be biased toward the rehabilitation, management, and prophylaxis phases with a complete focus on therapeutic exercise and appropriate education for the patient. With the decreasing reimbursements in physical therapy and the burgeoning business models of physical therapy delivery, exercise has commonly been generalized and delegated to ancillary staff. The exercise concepts will require physical therapist knowledge of anatomy, pathology, chronology and attainable patient goals through the application of genuinely therapeutic exercise.
Basic principles of facilitation will be integrated with the use and elimination of gravity and body weight directed towards the patient's functional needs. There will be an integration of proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation, manual resistance applied during the flow of manual therapy techniques, gravity assistance, gravity resistance, and external resistance. Additionally the progression towards realistic home exercise without sophisticated equipment will be integrated.
This class is willfully designed to be efficient with your time as well as effective with developing, improving or mastering your skill set.The content will be completed in one day. All enrollees will receive the didactic portion of the class before the actual class day allowing time for absorption before the physical interface.This will ideally liberate the class to spend the majority of the time together in a genuine “hands on” refinement of skills to be assimilated into their present matrix.
COURSE OBJECTIVES:
After completing this course, the participant will be able to:
1.Develop a conceptual framework for active exercise.
2.Integrate the basic concepts of exercise into manual therapy techniques.
3.Discuss the genuinely common clinical syndromes, the rapid recognition of them and the applicable progression to exercise as treatment.
4.Integration of the principles for spinal mobilization on a continuum through to manipulation and active exercise.
5.Develop proficiency with the common clinical syndromes and progression of treatment from passive to active for the purposes of developing patient independence.
6.Understand the application of principles for therapeutic exercise from repeated movements for centralization, augmenting manual intervention, to development of trunk control and prophylaxis.
7.Nurture continued development of skills with accurate and informative feedback from the ‘patient’ therapists with each session.Understand the experiential nature of motor skills.
8.An emphasis on the application of proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation to the orthopedic patient.
COURSE INSTRUCTOR:
Timothy Fearon received his PT degree from The Ohio State University.He completed the graduate program in the Musculoskeletal Sequence at Northwestern University.He completed his Doctorate in Physical Therapy at Northern Arizona University.
He founded Phoenix Manual Therapy (PMT), which initially offered courses, based on the Nordic System of orthopedic manual therapy.Phoenix Manual Therapy progressed to offering a long-term course frame for study of the Australian clinical reasoning approach to orthopedic manual therapy with integration of Norwegian techniques and therapeutic exercise.The course has been running over the last 25 years.In 2011 PMT began to sponsor Dr.Peter Gibbons & Dr. Phillip Tehan's spinal manipulation course work and Fearon is lead faculty for course one.He earned his Full Fellowship status in the American Academy of Orthopedic Manual Therapy by the challenge process in 1999; he renewed that status in 2010.Tim was honored with the 2017 Kaltenborn “Teach I Must Award” by the AAOMPT.
Dr. Fearon is currently adjunct faculty at A. T. Still University where he teaches manual therapy of the spine and extremities at the entry level and in the residency track.He has been a guest instructor for NAU, Arizona School of Health Sciences, Regis University, Langston University, and North Georgia College. He is lead faculty for Evidence in Motion manual therapy courses, the Clinical Decision Making Class and Fellowship Virtual Rounds. He has taught manual therapy courses over the last 20 years, spoken at numerous meetings for the Arizona Physical Therapy Association, and for APTA.
Dr. Fearon currently practices in an outpatient private practice specializing in orthopedic manual therapy and spinal rehabilitation where he has been for the last 28 years.
