Osteopathic Principles in Therapeutic Movement
The Patient Self-Treatment strategy is grounded in the principles of Osteopathy and utilizes an understanding of joint mechanics and movement to restore motion. There are five main reasons to employ self-treatment strategies:
Patients control the movement allowing for the approach to be used at any point along the recovery spectrum
Patients are engaged in the management of their condition
Patient Self-management techniques decrease the load on the Practitioner
Patient Self-management approaches get better and lasting results for the Patient
Patient Self-management approaches provide exceptional return on investment
Participants will be able to quickly assess and identify motion restriction specifically in weight bearing. The methods learned will help Practitioners teach Patients how to restore motion and function in weight bearing and non-weight bearing. Learning to employ Self-Treatment in our daily practice brings great satisfaction to both Practitioners and Patients. The objective of this seminar is to teach YOU how to teach your Patients to treat themselves. In Part 1, we’ll cover a quick and simple motion assessment, self-treatment strategies for the lower girdle, components of successful self-management programs and parameters for progression.
