Special Interest Courses offered by Erl Pettman
The FUNCTIONAL SHOULDER GIRDLE
“Apart from a detailed description of the differential tissue assessment of the shoulder girdle, emphasis is placed on the role played by the cervical, thoracic and lumbar spine in the generation of secondary shoulder girdle dysfunction”.
21 hours
CRANIO-VERTEBRAL JOINTS DYSFUNCTION
“A detailed journey through the biomechanics, pathomechanics, assessment and management of cranio-vertebral joint dysfunction”.
21 hours
TEMPOROMANDIBULAR JOINT DYSFUNCTION
“A refreshingly different view of ‘TMJ dysfunction’ that any manual therapist can relate to. Includes an evidence based review of the risk of TMJ problems following an MVA”.
21 hours
An EVIDENCE BASED REVIEW of the BIOPHYSICS, ASSESSMENT and MANAGEMENT of WHIPLASH AFFECTED DISORDERS.
“Unlike many MVA courses the focus of this course includes a mathematical (physics) analysis of the forces involved in MVA, especially rear-end collisions, and a statistical analysis of poor prognostic indicators that will allow the manual therapist to more accurately predict treatment outcomes”.
21 hours
SURFACE ANATOMY and its use in the STUDY of APPLIED
BIOMECHANICS for the MANUAL THERAPIST (*Under construction – contact
Erl for projected completion date. This course is the pre-cursor for a book and
DVD on the same subject).
“This course will utilise the unique palpation skills of the Orthopaedic Manual Therapist to analyse arthrokinetic and osteokinetic motion and rationalise biomechanical and pathomechanical hypotheses in the manual assessment and treatment of neuro-musculo-skeletal dysfunctions”.
