Attendees agree to utilize all skills of evaluation, assessment and treatment learned in this course to the extent allowed under the regulations of their professional practice act.

Prerequisites

FM I and PNF I

The Kaiser Vallejo Residency will no longer serve as a PNFI prerequiste substitute.

Purpose

Functional Mobilization™ couples active and resisted movement (PNF) with soft tissue and joint mobilization to facilitate normalization of mechanical, neuromuscular, and motor control dysfunctions. The participant is trained to evaluate each movement segment through the use of PNF patterns and to combine the selective pattern into the full trunk and extremity patterns. Instruction will emphasize the treatment of both hypermobile structures and the stabilization of hypermobile segments with prolonged holds to promote activation of the core muscle’s contraction. Instruction will emphasize passive and active associated movement while performing soft tissue and joint mobilization in non-weight and weight bearing positions.

Objectives

  • Develop specific Functional Mobilization™ progression strategies to enhance functional capacity of the lower quadrant.
  • Develop competence in the assessment and treatment of focus areas: lumbar spine, sacrum, innominate, coccyx, hip, knee and lower limb neurovascular treatment.
  • Develop home exercises to augment the treatment program.
  • Discuss the evidence for the FMLQ material.

In 2011, following years of study into the role the nervous system, inflammation and the immune system can play in the resolution of pain, Mrs. Wardlaw wrote her patient focused book, Taming Pain: Lessons from the Trenches. She is very excited to bring her work to therapists and patients in a two day course (Taming Pain/ Taming Stress) in 2016. Cheryl is also very proud to combine her artistic skills with her IPA experience to illustrate and produce the patient home exercise program: Functional Manual Therapy Exercise CD. Cheryl and her husband, Bruce, have also collaborated to design and produce a number of the manual therapy tools and products for the IPA.

Course Preparation

This 3 1/2 day workshop is quite demanding and intense.  Please come prepared and rested.  Have your fingernails clipped back and filed as some techniques require fingertip pressure.  Review your basic anatomy of the lower trunk muscles, joints and fascia.  You should also review course manuals from FM I and PNF I, as well as the articles listed below.

There will not be a review of FM I or PNF I at the course.  We strongly recommend that you have taken the pre-requisite course within three to five years to be updated with the current pre-requisite material. This is especially important for PNF. You will receive an IPA Mobilization Belt.  Please bring you own 1/2 foam roll to use during the course.
