Musculoskeletal Manual Techniques: Low Back, Hip and Groin

Musculoskeletal Manual Techniques: Low Back, Hip and Groin is organized by Netherlands Paramedical Institute (NPi) / Nederlands Paramedisch Instituut (NPi) and will be held from Mar 08 - 22, 2024 at Cape Doorn Conference Centre, Doornspijk, Gelderland, Netherlands.

Description:
Are you a (general) physiotherapist and would you like to sharpen your manual examination and treatment techniques? And would you like to receive the latest insights into the field of research and treatment of patients with low back, hip and groin pain? Then you are in the right place with this new two-day course!

This extremely practical training focuses on a body-oriented approach to patients with musculoskeletal complaints. Together with the teachers, you will work on your sensorimotor competencies for two days: you will improve your manual diagnostic skills and learn how to tailor your manual therapeutic interventions accordingly.

• You draw up hypotheses based on the submitted patient profiles;
• You use manual diagnostic skills techniques to test those hypotheses;
• You formulate therapeutic objectives and determine whether hands-on therapy is necessary;
• You use manual treatment techniques that contribute to your goals.

Afterwards, you will not only have brushed up on your hands-on techniques, but you will also look at patients with musculoskeletal disorders and pain syndromes of the low back, hip and groin with a fresh look.
