Evidence based McConnell Approach to chronic knee problems



This workshop will cover the patellofemoral program with evidence-based practice from a double-blind placebo controlled clinical trial. In the workshop participants will learn assessment skills and treatment strategies to address patellofemoral pain, patellar tendinosis, fat pad irritation, illiotibial friction syndrome, recurrent subluxation, pes anserinus bursitis, chondromalacia and osteoarthritis of the tibiofemoral and patellofemoral joints.

Course content include:
  • assessment of the static and dynamic alignment of the lower limb in relation to how it affects the knee as well as assessing the alignment of the patella.
  • evaluation of the quadriceps and gluteal control.
  • evaluation of the integrity of the lateral structures.
  • taping method to correct patellar alignment and decrease symptoms of fat pad irritation and patellar tendinosis, as well as osteoarthritis, illiotibial friction syndrome and subluxation.
  • design of home exercise program.
  • surface EMG for neuro-muscular re-education

Clinical Neurodynamic



This workshop will cover the concept of clinical neurodynamics. In the workshop participants will learn about convergence, sliding, tensioning, neurodynamic sequencing, linking mechanics and physiology, neurodynamic tests.


In the course the participants will go through
  • nerve palpation: median, ulnar, radial, brachial plexus, spinal nerves 
  • planning of physical examination and treatment 
  • neurodynamic testing - MNT1, UNT, MNT2, RNT, RSNT 
  • interpretation of neurodynamic tests (positive, negative, normal, abnormal, covert, overt)
