Cervical Stabilization Exercise Programs
Presented by: Carol Kennedy-BScPT, MCISc, FCAMT & Chief Examiner Orthopaedic Division
Date: June 2, 2012 8:00 am – 4 pm
Location: Adelaide West Physiotherapy, Toronto On
Price: $250 + HST (cash, cheque, debit, visa, mastercard)
Course description:
The use of specific therapeutic exercise as an adjunct to manual therapy treatment is a major emphasis of evidence-based physiotherapy. It can be a challenge to develop the appropriate exercise program for the patient with cervical dysfunction, attempting to address the many factors involved, and yet not to overload or irritate the neck. One of the more common uses of exercise for the cervical spine is to regain dynamic stability and/or motor control.
This course will focus on the use of exercise in the treatment of the patient with cervical spine dysfunction, specifically the impairment of muscle performance and dynamic stability. Exercises to address this will be discussed, demonstrated and practiced. Exercise program design will be summarized through the use of a case history demonstration.
For more information or to register, please contact Kathy or Courtney. Spaces are limited.

The purpose of this course is to refine manual skills and the clinical reasoning process in order to prepare the candidates for the IPE.
This prep course will prepare the candidates for the IPE in the following way:
Practical Exam: Practical techniques will be reviewed at each class with focus on refining hands on skills. New techniques will not be taught as it is expected that the candidates have learned all techniques during the level 1-3 courses. Mock exams will be given to help prepare for the oral/practical exam.
Mentorship Hours: 40 hours of mentorship is provided through the in class coaching sessions. The candidates are responsible for attaining the remainder of the 15 clinical mentorship hours and the 35 non-clinical hours on their own. The total of 90 mentorship hours must be completed by December 31, 2012.
