COURSES PROGRAM 2010:



SEGMENTARY VERTEBRAL STABILIZATION - ESV
Date: September 09th to 12th 2010
Speaker: Carla Danielle Chagas

Resume:
Carla Danielle Chagas da Silva is a Physiotherapist and Professor of Physical Education, Master in Manual Therapy at the University of Queensland - Australia, monitors the Maitland Concept at the University of Queensland, Postgraduate in Neurophysiology.
Member of SONAFE, member of APA/SPA, consultant of the Guandzhou Sports Institute – China between 2005 and 2007. Scientific coordinator of MaisFisio, coordinator of the scientific committee of CIRNE (International Congress of Neuromusculoskeletal and Sports Rehabilitation), training in Segmental Vertebral Stabilization, Dynamic Vertebral Stabilization Maitland Concept, Neural Mobilization, Mulligan, Kabat, Muscle Energy, Myofascial Release, among others. Introducer of the Segment Stabilization Concept in Brazil.

Content:
Segmental Vertebral Stabilization (ESV) is an innovative method devised by Physiotherapists at the University of Queensland (Australia) in the 90s, based on scientific research. The high rate of low back and neck pain in the productive population is high, leading to disastrous socioeconomic consequences. Due to this, a group of Physiotherapists (funded by the Australian Government and insurance companies) started a research to develop a more effective method of treatment that would reduce the long-term relapses. Then came the ESV; the retraining of the Muscular System through motor control exercises has been used successfully not only in the spine but also in the peripheral joints. ESV has a wide clinical applicability and should be used in conjunction with other techniques such as: Maitland Concept, Neural Mobilization, Dynamic Lumbopelvic Stabilization, Mulligan, among others.

Objective:
Provide the student with learning the latest in morphology, biomechanics, movement disorders and treatment through ESV of the lumbar and cervical spine.

Program:
- Concept and Scientific Evidence of the ESV program
- Morphology and biomechanics of the lumbar and cervical spine
- Clinical Reasoning of musculoskeletal dysfunction
- Evaluation and diagnosis of clinical instability and muscle dysfunction
- Use of image ultrasound, surface EMG and Biofeedback Pressure Unit in the treatment of local Muscle Dysfunction in patients with low back pain and neck pain through ESV
- Treatment of local muscle dysfunction in patients with low back pain and neck pain through ESV



NEURAL MOBILIZATION - NEURODYNAMICS
Date: October 07th to 10th, 2010
Speaker: Carla Danielle Chagas

Content:
Neurogenic Pain: Pain initiated or caused by primary injury, dysfunction or transient disturbance in the Peripheral or Central Nervous System (Merskey 1994). It is a common pathology in physical therapy practice and not a diagnosis of exclusion. Since the 70s, the evaluation and treatment of neural tissue has been incorporated into physical therapy practice by professionals such as Maitland, Elvey, Butler and others. The recognition that the nerve fiber can also be a source of nociceptive information led to the elaboration of specific manual techniques for its treatment.

Objective:
Decrease pain by 80% in the 1st session Restore nerve fiber compliance Restore functional movement.

Program:
Clinical Approach to Neural Tissue
Functional Anatomy of the Nervous System
Clinical Reasoning in Neural Tissue Assessment Manual Therapeutic Techniques for Neural Tissue Elaboration of the active exercise program
Peripheral and central nerve provocation test
Central treatment by lateral mobilization (Elvey 1997) and peripheral. (Elvey 1986, Buttler 2001)



SEGMENTARY STABILIZATION OF PERIPHERAL JOINTS AND FUNCTIONAL TAPE
Date: August 20-22, 2010
Lecturer: Fabio Périssé

Resume:
Fabio Périssé is a Physiotherapist, specialist in Sports Physiotherapy and Manual Therapy, Coordinator of the Health Department of CBLA (Brazilian Confederation of Associated Fights), General Director of MAISFISIO, member of SONAFE (National Society of Sports Physiotherapy), member of APA-SPA ( Australian Association of Sports Physiotherapy) and consultant to the Guandzhou Sports Institute (China) in the years 2006/2007. He is trained in several Neuromusculoskeletal Physiotherapy techniques (Functional Tape, Segmental Stabilization, Dynamic Stabilization, Maitland Concept, Neural Mobilization, among others). He currently works in Rio de Janeiro at CEART - Center for Joint Stabilization and is a professor of several Post-Graduate courses as a guest professor.

Content:
Segmental Stabilization Exercises emerged in the 90s in Australia and are currently being studied in several countries around the world. Research shows that our muscles respond differently to the presence of pain, some are inhibited while others are super active, should the treatment be the same for these 2 types of responses? To solve this problem, Segmental Stabilization Exercises have been developed and when used in conjunction with Functional Tape, the result is even better.
The Functional Tape is a valuable physical therapy technique, still little used in clinical practice. Its applicability has been studied by several researchers such as McConnell, Vincenzino, Creamer, Bullock-Saxton.... with the concern of grounding its theoretical content and neurophysiological and physiological principles. The location, direction and type of bandage determine the facilitation or inhibition of a segment or muscle group, desired by the physiotherapist. When indicated, its effect on pain relief is immediate.

Objective:
- Demonstrate the use of bandage as an adjunct treatment and prevention of upper and lower quadrant injuries.
- Associate bandage techniques with therapeutic exercises of Motor Control of Peripheral Joints (AP)
- Assist the student in practice so that he is able to modify and choose the most correct procedure
- Instruct the student so that the knowledge and skills acquired are immediately applied

Program:
Theoretical basis for the application of bandaging techniques, incorporating biomechanical, physiological and neurophysiological principles.
Presentation of clinical cases and demonstration of more than 40 bandaging techniques.
Supervised practice, ensuring a high level of competence and understanding in the execution of the technique.
Scientific Evidence and Application of Specific Motor Control Exercises of AP
