Functional Assessment Course

The Functional Assessment Course bridges the gap between traditional orthopaedic assessments and functional movements that are performed by our patients during their daily activities. This course uses evidence based functional movement strategies and assessments on the M.A.T (Movement Assessment Tool) to set movement baselines, calculate injury risk and track treatment progression over time.

You will learn:

• 10+ M.A.T assessments for the lower limb, spine and upper that you can use with your patients the very next day.
• How to use the M.A.T to SET BASELINE MEASUREMENTS to track progression of patients over time.
• How to use the M.A.T to CALCULATE INJURY RISK and determine when your patient or athlete can RETURN TO SPORT safely.
• How using the M.A.T can INCREASE BUY IN to your management plan to improve patient outcomes and INCREASE REBOOKINGS + REVENUE.
• How Functional Assessment and the M.A.T can help in the management of chronic pain patients.
• How Functional Assessment can reveal whether your treatment or management plan is effective.

Functional Treatment & Training Course

The Functional Treatment + Training Course course is the ultimate game changer for health and movement professionals. We will help you integrate the latest knowledge from movement, neuroscience and pain science fields to fill gaps in rehabilitation education as taught by higher institutions.

For too long health and movement professionals have looked at body parts in isolation without considering how we integrate as a whole in movement. In this course, we will show you how to break any task down into the 8 fundamental movements we all perform daily whilst providing you with principles, strategies and an evidence based template to create movement capacity (strength, stamina etc), movement competency (skill) and movement variability (different angles, heights, distances, loads, speed etc) to rehabilitate and bridge the gap between injury and performance.

You will learn:

• Learn a new Treatment + Training paradigm taking patient from pain and DYSFUNCTION TO PERFORMANCE.
• To build Movement CAPACITY (eg: strength, power, stamina) Movement COMPETENCY (skill & efficiency) Movement VARIABILITY and VARIETY (different angles, speeds, loads) and Movement CONFIDENCE in your patients and clients.
• Create expert rehabilitation plans using the 8 key fundamental movements (walking/running, squatting, lunging, reaching, lifting, jumping pushing and pulling).
• Learn how to manipulate any movement with 10 key movement variables such as (load, speed, position, distance etc) to create 1000’s of new exercises.
• How to use the 10 principles of NEUROPLASTICITY to create meaningful changes in your patients and clients rehab plans.
• How to use the latest PAIN SCIENCE literature into rehabilitating your patients with chronic pain.
• Learn how the M.A.T can upgrade the way you rehabilitate and train individuals by measuring movement.

Why do our Functional Treatment + Training Course?

• To learn how to incorporate the latest pain and neuroscience knowledge into your rehabilitation plans to get better outcomes with chronic pain patients.
• To learn how to use the M.A.T and find out how it can help set meaningful SMART goal driven rehabilitation programs.
