PHYSIOTHERAPY IN ORTHOPEDIC INJURIES

The post-operative phase or the initial weeks after an injury are of great importance for every patient! This is a period that demands not only a lot from the patient, but also from the therapist.

A physiotherapist conducting such treatment must demonstrate an understanding of: the biomechanics of the injury, the biology of the tissues undergoing healing, possible complications, and the ability to recognize red flags that should be identified as soon as possible.

To meet these needs, I created a course Physiotherapy
in orthopedic injuries, which will increase your competences to manage the patient in such a special period for him.

Movement as the key to maximum functionality

My rehabilitation mission of working with people is to work with the musculoskeletal system called the movement system. I believe that this term also covers the best way to treat it, i.e. "movement". Therefore, in my opinion, in parallel with pain reduction through all manual and tool techniques, there should be a need to improve motor functionality, because it is a test of this system in practice and a verification of our physiotherapeutic work.

My internal physiotherapist defines rehabilitation as "a set of physical and cognitive activities aimed at loading the musculoskeletal system as quickly as possible in accordance with its maximum current potential."

Purpose of the course Physiotherapy in orthopedic injuries

During the three-day training, you will learn a work system based on functional diagnostics, the physiology of tissue healing, progress monitoring and current knowledge in the field of physiotherapy. This training will help you manage patients independently in a competent and safe manner.

A ilustrated and dynamic approach to biomechanics and characteristics of common postoperative conditions, acute injuries and chronic ailments will help you better understand how to work with these areas of the body.

Three main pillars of the seminar:

1. 1. Functional diagnostics, both classic orthopedic and active motor diagnostics, allowing to assess the initial condition and progress of physiotherapy.
2. 2. Manual therapy of soft tissues and mobilization/manipulation of peripheral joints to modulate the sensation of pain in order to be able to progressively load the tissues of the musculoskeletal system as quickly as possible.
3. 3. Rehabilitation kinesitherapy means skillful training even in the presence of patient discomfort. The practical part regarding movement will allow you to experience first-hand the ways of loading the musculoskeletal system in order to be able to dose this form of therapy more effectively, improving our coaching competences.

What will you learn?

During the course you will learn:

• Functional diagnostics and functional assessment of the knee and shoulder joints.
• Managing patients after ACL, MPFL, MCL reconstruction and meniscus repair.
• Manual therapy of the lower limb for soft tissues and joint mobilization
