Kinetic Control Myofascial Trigger Point Therapy in the Management of Movement Dysfunction Tutor: Patrik Pedersen 19-20 October, 2015 Venue: London Road Community Hospital, Derby
Ref. 1777
This course addresses:
The biology of the Myofascial Trigger Point (MTP)
How to identify active or pain producing myofascial trigger points
How to manually treat active MTPs
How to make links between active trigger points and global muscle imbalance
The use of MTPs to ‘down-regulate’ and increase functional extensibility in over-active multi-joint mobiliser muscles
The use of MTPs to ‘up-regulate’ inhibited or elongated 1 joint stabiliser muscles to improve their stabiliser function
This course will help you to:
Use myofascial trigger point therapy in the management of:
Movement control dysfunction
Clinical regional pain scenarios
Complex regional pain syndromes
Learning Outcomes At the end of this course the participant should be able to:
To have an understanding of the current evidence / theories regarding the physiology of MTPs
Palpate and understand the difference between myofascial trigger points and other tender points
Understand how movement and stability dysfunction can play a role in the development of myofascial trigger points
Make a clinical diagnosis of myofascial trigger points as a contributing source of pain
The participant should demonstrate the ability to apply principles of assessment and motor control retraining to:
Use movement dysfunction analysis in a clinical framework to help guide myofascial trigger point release to treat the source of pain, regain muscle extensibility and change recruitment thresholds to enhance motor control
Integrate the assessment and treatment of myofascial trigger point release, movement dysfunction and stability training into clinical practice
