FEEDBACK FROM CANADIAN CLINICIANS ON RECENT COURSES DISCOVERING THE BENEFITS OF MDT:
- This was an excellent course. One of the most thorough and practically applicable PT courses I have taken. I have a much better understanding of technique progressions and classification.
- I absolutely loved the course! It furthered my understanding from “use some repetitive movements” to understanding MDT is a comprehensive system used from the start to end of the clinical process.
- I feel so much more confident treating complex and unusual symptomatic patients with the MDT system.
- Most informative physio course I have taken. Couldn’t have asked for a better clinical instructor.
- I feel that the MDT courses have advanced my practice knowledge by multiple years and instilled more confidence when treating more complicated patients.
Course Goals:
This course will provide participants with the introductory knowledge and basic skills to begin to:
- Describe and discuss the principles of MDT and how they fit within the biopsychosocial framework, for patients with lumbar spine problems and functional limitations.
- Appropriately apply the McKenzie Method of MDT to patients with lumbar spine problems.
- Distinguish between the MDT syndromes (Derangement, Dysfunction, Postural) and OTHER subgroups and provide appropriate management plans for each.
- Identify when the application of external forces is required, using MDT’s concept of ‘Progression of Forces’.
- Recognise how to assist patients to design and apply the therapeutic processes to achieve their goals, taking into account any personal or environmental barriers to recovery.
