Stress, Movement, and Pain: A Systematic Approach - Las Vegas

Stress, Movement, and Pain: A Systematic Approach is organized by Therapy Network Seminars (TNS) and will be held from Jun 15 - 16, 2019 at Pima Medical Institute, Las Vegas, Nevada, United States of America.

Description:
Whether you practice in outpatient, in-patient, acute care, orthopedics or neurology nearly all your patients are experiencing stress and it is fundamentally affecting how they move and perceive the world and themselves.

This seminar is designed to advance clinical competence in working with the neurological and musculoskeletal issues centered around the neuroscience of stress and movement through the application of current clinical evidence. We will identify the relationship between perception, the autonomic nervous system, the HPA (hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal) axis, and movement to create a foundation for proper intervention. This foundation will then be used to develop assessment and treatment approaches to pathology associated with stress and movement.

Designed for the clinician not interested in the status quo; you will learn how to improve your patient outcomes regardless of specialty or condition because the science of stress, perception, and movement is foundational to all human experience.

Educational Credit:
A certificate of attendance for 15 Contact Hours will be awarded to each participant. All Therapy Network Seminars are pre-approved for CEUs in the state where the course is conducted when required for PT, OT, ATs & Assistants.

Audience:
Level of Instruction: Intermediate
This course is intended for PTs, PTAs, OTs, OTAs and ATs

NOTE: Nothing in this course is to enable or permit the learner to apply techniques outside of the scope of practice in their individual state and discipline.

Objectives:
• Identify the neuroanatomy, neurobiology, and neuroplasticity related to acute and chronic stress effects on movement and behavior.
• Identify the functional connections between body and mind in relation to stress, pain, and movement.
• Demonstrate the interpretation of sensory processing and movement dysfunction of the nervous system
• Outline a new therapeutic narrative for understanding and explaining movement system impairments and neuroplasticity
• Demonstrate appropriate manual and movement-based treatments, regardless of ailment, based on modern neuroscientific evidence
• Outline an interventional plan using sensory differentiation, intentional movement (including breath retraining), and introductory environmental changes to elicit positive changes in patients.
