Movement Links
Seminars
2012 Movement Links Seminar Series
Location: Fortanasce & Associates, Arcadia, CA
The movement links seminar series (8 classes) is designed to:
provide an integration of the movement impairment and neuromuscular approaches in the evaluation & management of musculoskeletal pain syndromes.
Demonstrate how movement science concepts complement manual orthopedic procedures in the evaluation and manageent of musculoskeletal pain syndromes.
Refine observational analysis of posture, movement, and gait.
Refine palpatory skills, neuromuscular facilitatory & inhibitory techniques.
Discuss & demonstrate the functional interdependence between the muscular, osteo-articular and central nervous system in the regulation of movement
Design and implement progression of precise exercises specific to the patient’s functional goals
Clinical reasoning of the evaluation and management process will be discussed along with extensive lab practice.
Target Audience: Physical Therapists
Registration: Cynergy Education Group
The Janda Approach to Musculoskeletal Pain Syndromes
This lab intensive workshop (70% lab, 30% lecture) introduces the theory, research, and concepts of Czech physician Dr. Vladimir Janda (1928-2002). Dr. Janda pioneered the concept of muscle imbalance syndromes, and developed a systematic evaluation and unique treatment approach to musculoskeletal pain syndromes. This workshop provides the scientific evidence to support the role of muscular imbalance in the pathogenesis of musculoskeletal pain. With functional pathologies, the actual cause of pain is rarely at the site of pain. A systematic evaluation helps clinicians quickly determine the cause of pain to initiate specific treatment using a variety of techniques. Dr. Janda developed a specific proprioceptive exercise program, Sensorimotor Training (SMT), using inexpensive exercise equipment, ideal for clinical or home exercise programs.

Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilization: A Developmental Kinesiology Approach
The nervous system establishes programs that control human locomotion, which is comprised of posture and movement. This “motor control” is largely established during the first critical years of life. Based upon the principles of neurodevelopmental kinesiology, i.e. the neurophysiologic aspects of the maturing movement system on which the Prague School was established., the scope of clinical rehabilitation options for many of our neuro-musculo-skeletal patients has been expanded. The DNS approach involves every component of the movement system (i.e. muscles, joints, discs, nerves, and soft tissue) by stimulating movement control centers in the brain through activation of ideal inborn movement stereotypes. This, in turn, helps restore the structural and postural alignment of the body’s neuro-musculoskeletal system by evoking the global motor patterns. Global motor patterns form the foundation of human movement and represent genetically predetermined elements for uprighting. These patterns are essential for control of posture and stability of the spine—the pivotal center of the entire movement system through the life of the individual. This complex approach is exciting and “cutting-edge” as it provides a window into the complexity and plasticity of the CNS and its effect on the musculoskeletal system and vice-versa. Participants to these courses will be introduced to these complex approach and methods.
