LOW BACK DISORDERS: The Foundation
for Evidence Based Clinical Decision Making
Two-Day Practical Course on Rehabilitation,
Prevention and Performance Training of the Lumbar Spine
This course is open to Physiotherapists, Physicians,
Chiropractors, Massage Therapists, Kinesiologists, and
Athletic Therapists
PhD.
Professor Stuart McGill is a well-known, international
lecturer and author with over 200 scientific publications
that address the issues of lumbar function, low back
injury mechanisms, investigation of tissue loading during
rehabilitation programs and the formulation of work-related
injury avoidance strategies. He is a consultant to many
medical management groups, professional sports teams
and athletes, governments, corporations and legal firms.
Dr. McGill has won numerous awards including the prestigious
Volvo Bioengineering Award for Low Back Pain research
from Sweden. At the University of Waterloo, he is the
department chair. He also holds other academic appointments,
which include the Department of Mechanical Engineering,
University of Waterloo, the Institute of Medical Science,
University of Toronto, and the Southern California University
of Health Sciences. He is one of few scientists who
is regularly referred challenging patients for consult.
Professor McGill currently serves on the editorial board
for the journals Clinical Biomechanics and Spine. He
is author to: Low Back Disorders: Evidence Based Prevention
and Rehabilitation, and Ultimate Back Fitness and Performance.
GLOBAL
• To update delegates on the most recent developments
in clinical
biomechanics of the lumbar spine - specifically how
it works and how it becomes injured.
• To provide guidance in the application of this
knowledge to the clinic, workplace, rehabilitation centre,
and sports field to reduce the risk of injury, optimize
healing of the patient, and build ultimate back performance
in the athlete.
SPECIFIC
• To dispel the myths regarding specific prevention
approaches and
rehabilitation approaches, such as stabilization techniques.
• To understand the injury process that is necessary
to prepare
statements and reports for compensation, etc.
• To understand normal and pathological function
to devise optimal
treatment.
• To obtain experience in reducing the risk of
injury over a wide
variety of jobs and sports through a workshop situation.
• To know when, and when not, to prescribe orthoses
such as abdominal
belts, and how to spare the joints while working with
tools.
• To know which exercises are better for lumbar
stabilization,
endurance training, etc.
• To understand the latest techniques for training
the backs of world
class athletes.
