I am helping drum up enrollment for this great course in Toronto June 13-15, 2014.  I am a fan of this approach and am looking forward to taking the course and hope to see a lot of people there.

Details

This 3-day clinical workshop outlines a broad classification model for the assessment and management of Chronic Low Back Pain disorders. This approach incorporates both
physical as well as cognitive components and provides a multi-dimensional framework to manage patients with CLBP disorders.

A major focus will be developing clinical skills to assess and sub-classify pain disorders of the lumbo-pelvic region. This workshop draws together current knowledge as well as ongoing clinical work and research investigating the classification and management of CLBP disorders. This clinical workshop is dynamic, interactive and practical. It includes real patients, case studies, clinical reasoning and equips physiotherapists to develop skills in diagnostics as well as the design of motor learning interventions.
