Back Stability and Muscle Imbalance

A 3 day course based on Chris Norris' articles in Physiotherapy (1995) and his book "Back Stability" (Human Kinetics 2000).

Lumbar biomechanics / stabilisation mechanisms / stability models / principles of muscle imbalance / muscle length tests of the lower limb and upper limb / inner range holding / posture assessment / core stability training / exercise progressions / abdominal training in sport / scapular mechanics / scapular stability / introducing manual therapy and muscle release / shoulder taping

Sacroiliac Joint, Pelvis and Backpain

A single day course integrating clinical biomechanics, manual therapy and stabilisation techniques.

Principles of pelvic stability / biomechanical assessment of the lumbar spine and pelvis / manual assessment of pelvic dysfunction / enhancing lumbar and pelvic stability / treatment of dysfunction with manual therapy and exercise therapy

Back Stability Update

A single day course with a problem solving emphasis:

• How does the spine stabilise itself?
• Research on outcomes
• Muscle isolation or movement control
• Integrated Back Stability (IBS)
• Teaching techniques for stability
• Case history scenarios

Functional Rehabilitation of the shoulder

A single day course working with a muscle imbalance approach to shoulder rehabilitation. Beginning with a revision of basic muscle balance principles we then look at the biomechanics of shoulder function and go onto postural evaluation of the shoulder region. Rehab programmes deal with scapular stability, postural correction relative shoulder function and open / closed chain protocols. Cervical dysfunction relative to the shoulder is covered.
