Factors influencing pain and healing.
Approx hours: 14.00
This is a one day course of lecture, assessment forms and physical exam technique that will cover the factors that will lead your patients to develop or persist with Chronic pain or heal too slowly. Dr Musnick is an extremely motivating and skilled teacher and will cover the following topics including history and assessment forms and new treatment strategies:Chronic pain and Sensitization (Neurophysiology and treatments), Chronic and Neuropathic Pain topical gels and treatment, Scar Dysfunction(history, physical exam and treatment), Fibromyalgia, Fatigue Syndromes, Memory and Cognitive Dysfunction, Nutritional Considerations for Healing Musculoskeletal Tissues and Sleep Dysfunction

| 660 - Writing for Publication
Approx hours: 14.00
This course will discuss the format and content required of case reports, review papers, and also letters to the editor written for publication. It will also review concepts of evidence-based practice (EBP) that are relevant to writing these types of articles with the aim of optimizing the chances of getting your work published.
| 665 - Foot and Ankle
Approx hours: 14.00
A two-day course focused on the foot, ankle and tibiofibular joints focuses on differential diagnosis,manual therapy assessment and treatment, including all grades of mobilization and manipulation and reviews efficient home interventions. The course will include a review of traumatic injuries, and analysis of the need for stabilization, but orthotics will not be a focus of this course.
| 670 - Manual Therapy for the Fascial System
Approx hours: 14.00
This course examines the significant role that assessment and treatment of the fascial system can play in patients with orthopaedic conditions. Current knowledge of fascial anatomy and physiology are introduced and the relevance to mechanical dysfunction explored. Manual Therapy for the Fascia involves the practical application of current knowledge in neurodynamics, myofascial release,neurophysiological treatment techniques, and manual therapy.
| 675 - TMJ
Approx hours: 14.00
The explanation for the symptoms of temporomandibular joint dysfunction may be mechanical or neuro-physiological, genetic or acquired. In many cases, the cervical spine is the primary source of cephalic symptoms.
