The Certificate in Orthopaedic Manual Therapy programme is the culmination of an exciting collaboration in postgraduate education in advanced manual therapy, between Manual Concepts and the School of Physiotherapy at Curtin University. As part of this strategy Kim Robinson and Toby Hall have been awarded, since 1999, the title of Adjunct Senior Teaching Fellows (Curtin University).
This comprehensive four-week programme provides clinicians with intensive tuition in an integrated approach to orthopaedic manual therapy of the spine, sacroiliac joints and shoulder girdle complex. Due to popular demand the programme is scheduled three times each year, commencing January, June and November.
The primary aim of the programme is to integrate joint, muscle and neural tissue based manual therapy concepts to provide a more functional and comprehensive approach to the management of a range of neuromusculoskeletal conditions. This clinical programme is closely complemented by tutorials in clinical and functional anatomy and pain physiology. For specific dates regarding course commencement please see the section titled programme dates.
This is a unique opportunity to be educated and closely supervised by our internationally respected team of clinical educators led by Kim Robinson and Toby Hall. Previous contributors have included experts in the field of manual therapy such as Jenny McConnell, Dr Peter O'Sullivan, Max Zusman, Professor James Taylor, osteopath Michael Monaghan, Mark Oliver, Dr Steve Edmondston, Dr Michelle Sterling, Dr Judith Thompson and Dr Diana Hopper.
The syllabus places particular emphasis on the spinal regions and related spinal pain disorders with relevant consideration of the shoulder girdle complex, sacroiliac joints and pelvis. This syllabus integrates a range of manual therapy concepts developed by many different manual therapists.
Kim Robinson and Toby Hall are the coordinators and course developers. Together they have 50 years clinical experience and have taught manual therapy for more than 15 years at a postgraduate university level. In addition for the last 15 years they have been teaching short manual therapy courses to physiotherapists around the world. Toby and Kim are the principal educators for the programme and guide participants through the comprehensive course content.
Participants are provided with extensive pre-course reading material and handouts to cover all aspects of the programme. Varied teaching formats, including slides, video and practical demonstration facilitate the learning and clinical reasoning processes. Patients, where possible, will be presented to the group to illustrate the clinical application of the approach.
Participants are guided through a thorough analysis of the subjective examination and through careful clinical reasoning the participants are taught skills and techniques that enhance efficient and effective physical examination of a wide range of clinical presentations.
Toby Hall and Bob Elvey have worked closely together for many years and have developed some of the most important and recent advances in manual therapy. Toby instructs participants in the pathogenesis, assessment and management of neural tissue pain disorders. Classification of spinal pain disorders is the current hot topic in manual therapy, particularly in relation to low back pain. The syllabus on this programme will detail the examination process required to determine various types of sub-classifications of pain disorders. For example neural pain disorders are classified according to three categories of neuropathic pain, neuropathic denervation, neuropathic central sensitization and neuropathic axonal mechanosensitivity. This information is very important as it drives treatment choices and is important for identification of patients suitable for neural tissue mobilization techniques.
Professor Peter O'Sullivan, is a Fellow of the Australian College of Physiotherapy and has completed his PhD in the area of muscle dysfunction and motor control. He has published a range of articles and book chapters in relation to lumbopelvic muscle dysfunction, motor control and active intervention for rehabilitation of lumbar instability and related conditions. He is one of the leading international figures in manual therapy in the area of classification of motor control impairments of low back pain. Peter has developed a functional and highly effective approach to the classification and management of specific sub-groups of low back pain disorders which involve motor control impairment. Peter demonstrates the clinical application of this new functional approach through a range of video case studies and patient demonstrations. In this way Peter simplifies the complex role of muscle dysfunction and motor control impairment in lumbopelvic pain syndromes.
In recent years there has been increasing importance placed on understanding the mechanism of acute and chronic pain and how manual therapy may influence pain. Max Zusman has published widely in manual therapy and medical literature and creates an enviroment for participants to more readily understand important issues related to pain pathophysiology and its management. To build on this information there are sessions devoted to pain management including cognitive behavioural retraining, goal setting, pacing and other pain management techniques.
The basis of manual therapy is a thorough knowledge of anatomy and biomechanics. This course is richly enhanced by the contribution of Professor James Taylor whose knowledge of functional spinal anatomy, patho-anatomy and age related changes is unsurpassed. Professor Taylor presents a lifetime of research and clinical experience using stunning images taken from his widely published studies of spinal anatomy, age changes and patho-anatomy.
An additional perspective, brought by Michael Monaghan, whose Osteopathic skills in examination and treatment including manipulation, broaden the dimensions of the programme. A highly accomplished clinician, Michael is extremely adept at developing participant competence in this highly skilled area of manual therapy. He places particular emphasis in developing safety and comfort in manual treatment skills. Michael has been teaching manual therapy to physiotherapists in Australia and New Zealand for 30 years and has written "Spinal Manipulation" a textbook for physiotherapists as well as authoring a CDROM and videos.
Mirroring the work of Peter O'Sullivan in the lumbar spine, Dr Michele Sterling is well known for her work in the area of motor control dysfunction in the cervical spine. She is a world recognized authority on whiplash disorders, chronic neck pain and cervicogenic dizziness. She has published widely on these subjects and brings this knowledge to expand participants understanding of cervical and scapula motor control impairment as well as whiplash and other cervical disorders and what can be done to correct them. Michele is based at the University of Queensland, where she is part of the research team currently undertaking a range of research projects.
Professor Steve Edmondston is based at Curtin University where he heads up the Musculoskeletal Physiotherapy section. He has a great deal of knowledge and clinical expertise in the management of thoracic spine disorders. He completed his PhD in this field a number of years ago and has written a range of book chapters and journal articles in relation to thoracic and cervical spine manual therapy, including a chapter in the new edition of Grieve's Modern Manual Therapy. He presents a refreshingly uncomplicated but very clinically effective approach to thoracic spine manual therapy.
Jenny McConnell has developed international respect with her innovative approach to assessment and treatment of a range of biomechanical disorders affecting the shoulder/neck complex, lumbar spine and lower limb. Her highly educational and practical sessions integrate well with the overall concept of the four-week program. Jenny covers assessment and rehabilitation of the shoulder girdle complex. Rehabilitation includes EMG biofeedback muscle reeducation, exercise, articular mobilization as well as taping for pain control.
Sacroiliac joint dysfunction is a significant contributing factor to low back pain, with up to 14% of low back pain disorders shown to have sacroiliac joint involvement. Mark Oliver is an accredited Mulligan Concept practitioner who has developed a unique and thoroughly logical approach to demystifying the assessment and management of these complex joints. His approach can be readily integrated into the model of assessment presented during this programme. The astute clinician will be able to quickly determine the relative contribution of sacroiliac joint dysfunction to the patients presenting disorder and thereby determine an effective treatment strategy.
