COURSE DESCRIPTION:
Lumbar Stabilization encompasses a long list of acute and
chronic LB diagnoses and the impact of proper management of symptoms, pain, and
duration. This advanced course will focus on lumbar stabilization exercise and
progressions for individuals with spinal dysfunction. Presenting the theory of
lumbar stabilization, supported by evidence-based material and correlating
these principles to the unique combination of land and water exercises, this
course will provide the attendee with the information needed to progress
individuals from rehabilitation to return to functional activity. Pain Diagrams
and facet pain patterns further assist in establishing appropriate treatment
phases addressing pain and inflammation control; progressive land and water
exercise; long-term management; preventive maintenance; and instruction in home
program. Principles from the Burdenko method, Pilates and yoga are presented
throughout the course material. Discussion on specific diagnoses will include
latest research along with practical clinical approaches and problem solving
techniques.
COURSE OBJECTIVES:
1. Address a multi-disciplinary approach to Lumbar Stability and Low
Back Pain to customize a rehabilitation treatment plan specific to the patient.
2. Distinguish
various diagnoses with phases of lumbar stability and exercise focus for each
phase.
3. Identify
exercises with progression and cueing that facilitate primary muscles involved
in lumbar stabilization.
4. Discuss
appropriate level land and water exercises and proper equipment to facilitate
progress for lumbar dysfunction.
5. Apply the six qualities of movement addressed
in the Burdenko method along with the application of PNF, Pilates, and yoga for
proper alignment and function.
