The importance of “why” and “how”: movement’s critical role in clinical reasoning for low back pain in high performance individuals
Three elite level performers in very different disciplines: golf, Olympic weight lifting and ballet…
Three ambitious, successful young women with extension related low back pain, all of whom have “overuse” diagnoses…
Do they have enough in common to be able to treat them similarly? And what happens when the rehabilitation evidence base doesn’t meet your patient’s needs, and appears to leave you stranded?
Too frequently “overuse” is accepted as an adequate explanation for injury. Although training and performing volume and loading play their part, we will see through these patient cases that they are far from the whole story, and that movement provides a key to understanding why and how localised areas can be subjected to amplified stress. Without this understanding, treatment becomes a blunt instrument, management has a fragile dependence upon training and performance schedules, and the opportunity to prevent recurrence is lost.
This lecture illustrates how an appreciation of fundamental movement principles, the concept of functional force management®, patient context and direction of movement impulse can help us firstly to identify and understand the factors contributing to the injury presentation, and then to develop a reasoned, individually and functionally relevant pathway to return them to elite performance in their chosen discipline.
The lecture will last approximately one hour, followed by 30 minutes for Q&A
