3 An Eclectic Approach to Cervical Spine Manual Therapy Steven W. Forbush, PT, PhD 12 Clinical Hours Friday & Saturday Most physical therapists are trying to develop the knowledge and skills to allow them to intervene with successful outcomes in the patient management of cervical conditions. Many different schools of intervention exist in course work and through literature. This course is an eclectic approach to the cervical spine presented with specific emphasis on the osteopathic model of manual therapy as an approach to spine function and dysfunction. The course is designed to provide the clinician with skills to carefully use clinical reasoning to diagnose tissues at fault in the patient with dysfunction of the cervical spine, determine the necessary precautions and contraindications, and design treatment options, emphasizing manual therapy. Cases will be used to allow the student to incorporate the base information to diagnose and decide appropriate intervention strategies for the common functional problems found in patients with cervical pain. Treatment will primarily focus on manual interventions such as manual strengthening, muscle energy techniques, direct and indirect mobilization/manipulation, stretching, and manual traction. Short lectures will be followed by lab sessions to allow instruction and practice of hands-on evaluation and treatment techniques. Upon successful completion of the course, the student will be able to: 1. Explain anatomy of the cervical spine in detail and understand interrelationships of structures 2. Explain the kinesiology of the cervical spine as it relates to function including review of basic osteopathic concepts in books and literature 3. Demonstrate a thorough understanding of the functional abilities and impairments associated with the cervical spine 4. Demonstrate ability to assess muscular strength and length in the cervical spine 5. Define and determine the four different soft tissue changes found in segmental and cervical impairments 6. Describe specific cervical spine pathological processes including but not limited to the following diagnoses: a. Facet dysfunction b. Osteoarthritis/spondylosis c. Whiplash injuries d. Fractures/ligamentous instabilities e. Disc pathology f. Thoracic Outlet Syndrome (TOS) g. Postural syndromes and dysfunctions h. Radiculopathies/neural irritations 7. Demonstrate the ability to discern between hypomobile and hypermobile segmental spinal dysfunction by using at least two different assessment methods for passive mobility 8. Demonstrate the ability to perform a comprehensive examination of the cervical spine 9. Demonstrate sequencing and diagnosis through neural tension testing of the upper quarter 10. Describe and demonstrate specific manual therapy techniques that contribute to the correction of selected hypomobile and protection for hyper-mobile spine impairments a. Demonstrate the appropriate sequence to prepare the appropriate segment for upslope intervention b. Demonstrate the appropriate sequence to prepare the appropriate segment for downslope intervention 11. Demonstrate awareness of indications and contraindications in practice and regulation for interventions involving spinal manipulation About the Instructor: Dr. Steve Forbush is presently an assistant professor at the University of Central Arkansas in the DPT program and has been there since He received a PhD in PT from Nova Southeastern University in His entry degree in physical therapy was a Master s Degree in Physical Therapy from the University of Alabama in Birmingham in 1979 and he immediately continued with a residency in Orthopedics from the Institute of Graduate Health Sciences in Atlanta until He is also an Orthopedic Certified Specialist (OCS) through the APTA.

MDT (6 Clinical Hours Friday) This 1-day, 6-hour class, is designed to update attendees on the latest neuroscience understanding and treatment for fibromyalgia. Fibromyalgia is a diffuse, wide-spread pain state affecting approximately 2% of the population or more than 5 million Americans, and the reality is that professions such as physical and occupational therapy are ideal for treating patients affected by fibromyalgia. Research has shown that treatments such as cardiovascular exercise, strengthening exercise, membrane stabilizing drugs and education (especially cognitive behavioral therapy) is helpful in treating fibromyalgia. But how does it work? How can physical therapy help patients with fibromyalgia? This class will discuss the epidemiology and etiology of fibromyalgia as well as the current medical model for treating fibromyalgia and especially the deficiencies in this model. The class will focus on the new neuroscience view of fibromyalgia, including the brain s processing of pain, nerve sensitization, neuroendocrine and immune changes in response to pain, changes in motor function, sleep and more. Pain science research has shown that not only are patients more interested in their pain, but also a better understanding of their pain results in significant improvements in patients attitudes in relation to pain, pain cognition and physical performance, increased pain thresholds during physical tasks, improved outcomes of therapeutic exercises and significant reduction in widespread brain activity characteristic of a pain experience. Treatments will include neuroscience education - educating patients more about their pain and various treatment strategies they can use and therapists can use to help with pain and disability. Exercise and pacing of exercise, specifically aerobic exercise will be discussed along with goal setting and various other strategies such as relaxation, breathing and sleep hygiene. All educational sessions are immediately applicable to clinical settings and could be used as stand-alone treatment strategies or as an adjunct to conventional therapeutic strategies such as exercise, manual therapy, aquatic therapy, massage and more 1. Be updated on the latest evidence for treating fibromyalgia. 2. Develop a greater understanding of the neuroscience behind fibromyalgia. 3. Develop the ability to educate patients regarding their fibromyalgia. 4. Develop a comprehensive education and movement-based treatment for fibromyalgia patients. 5. Be able to apply all strategies and knowledge to clinical practice. 4 Instructor bio on page 5.
