Official Kinetic Control

Location:

Date:

Alex - Egypt

Block 1: 14-17 November, 2023
Block 2: 5-8 December, 2023
Master class: 28-29 December, 2023

Educational Route

Block One
Movement Solution
to 
Low back & Hip

Block Two
Movement Solution
to 
Neck & Shoulder

To be eligible to be a Kinetic Control Movement Therapist (KCMT) you have to attend (3 Blocks + 1 Master Class)

What will I learn in these two blocks?

Key learning outcomes are:

 
  • Practice the application of the cognitive motor control testing (CMCT) within the kinetic control reasoning framework (site & direction of uncontrolled movement).

  • Deal with the different muscle classifications through targeted muscle testing, activation retraining for global stabilizer muscle and/ or increase extensibility if global mobilizer muscles.

  • Display options integrated interventions with movement retraining (e.g., lumbo-pelvic stabilization, deep neck flexor activation, scapular stabilization, rotator cuff activation) & a variety of handson practical interventions to alter the pain mechanisms associated to their patients ‘related dysfunctions.

  • Evaluates movement patterns to help change muscle function associated to pain, pathology, and compromised function.

  • Relate muscle synergy recruitment patterns to pain, recurrence and compromised function & gain the ability to assess and retrain muscle synergy efficiency.

  • Identify how assessment, analysis and retraining of alignment and posture and their relationship with movement to reduce pain, the impact of pathology and improve function.

  • Develops clinicians’ teaching and cueing skillset of their patients’ movement patterns to influence muscle function associated with pain, pathology and compromised function.

  • Demonstrate the ability to assess and retrain impairments in the local stabilizer role system related to a patient’s risk of recurrence & translation dysfunctions (e.g., recurrent dislocations, spondylolisthesis, clicking & clucking)

  • Demonstrate an ability to employ a clinical reasoning framework to identify why some patients require this approach and when.

  • Demonstrate enhances skills of cueing and recruitment facilitation for better management of chronic symptoms and recurrences).
