How to Increase Clinical Expertise
We are seeing more people in persistent pain than ever before. Whether their symptoms are localized to one region of the body or multiple regions, clinical reasoning is critical when you are assessing this patient population.
Speakers will discuss how formulating a hypothesis based on the patient’s story and testing that through your objective exam will be the key to long-term change. Through real-life case studies covering assessment to treatment, presenters will discuss how investigating certain movement patterns was the key to recovery.
With this full-body approach, training the “driver” and not the symptom provides clinicians with more options for changing the patient’s movement strategy. Explore how one body region can greatly affect symptoms in another region.
Attendees will learn to employ a unique clinical reasoning approach that highlights the patient’s meaningful experience and strengthens their ability to quickly hone in on the real cause of the problem.
Upon completion of this course, you will be able to:
- Describe the assessment process used to find the primary driver for the complex patient.
- Identify specific movement patterns that are relevant in assessing tough to treat patients.
- Apply the latest clinical reasoning theory and practical strategies for working with complex patients.
- Design a treatment plan that is specific to the cause of the problem and not just the symptom.
