Level I C-511 Lumbopelvic Spine I
September 8-9, 2017
Dominican College
3 Campus Drive
Prusmack G-27 (Movement Lab)
Blauvelt, NY 10913

Please Note: This course is taking place on Friday – Saturday.

This course is focused on enhancing the physical therapists’ ability to make decisions about clinical presentations that may indicate serious pathology in the lumbopelvic region. Course participants will develop a safe, effective, and efficient lumbopelvic screening examination that has three (3) primary aims; a) to ensure that the patient/client is within the scope of physical therapy practice and suitable for management, b) to provide a provisional diagnosis, and c) to guide the remainder of the evaluation and management. Course participants will identify an all-source evidence-informed approach to evaluation and management through consideration of normal, abnormal and applied lumbopelvic anatomy, physiology, pathology, and movement science. Course participants will apply the concepts of total patient health, function, life-participation, pain behaviors and their manifestations, and their role in the total patient/client management. Management strategies will include education, activity modification, manual therapy techniques, and individualized neuromuscular rehabilitation prescription, with the goal of restoring optimal function and preventing future health conditions and impairments.

Course Description:
This 2.5 credit Ethics Course is designed for therapists wishing to satisfy the mandatory New Jersey Ethics requirement with an interactive problem-solving course based on real clinical examples. It builds on previous ethics knowledge. The course is designed to integrate the core values of our profession into everyday clinical interactions. The use of the core documents are the foundation of ethical decision making and are integrated into the decision making process. This course requires active participation in problem solving in small groups. It is recommended that you only choose this course if you are willing to participate in group discussions.
