A highly practical workshop exploring the management of a wide range of acute and chronic low back pain conditions, including disc related condition, nerve root irritation, post surgery management and more. There will a discussion of current research findings and how they can be integrated into a manual/physical therapy practice to manage various spinal presentations. The workshop will address the aetiology, the underlying physiological and neurological processes and the psychological-behavioural aspects of the condition.

During the workshop participants will be introduced to a Process Approach in manual therapy. In this approach the management provides supports for the processes associated with functional recovery; in particular, repair and adaptive processes associated with spinal tissue healing and motor recovery and the processes associated with the alleviation of pain/sensitisation. There will be also a discussion about the shortcomings of the structural/biomechanical model for explaining the causes and treatment of spinal conditions.

In the practical sessions the participants will be able to explore their own manual approaches and how they can be specifically applied for effective management. They will learn new manual approaches for treating the spine that would allow them to expand their scope of practice. The workshop will also address self-care management for the patient. The participants will be introduced to Functioncise, a functional movement approach in which normal daily activities are amplified to provide the challenges necessary for recovery.
