***This course requires successful completion of A Functional Understanding of Human Rehabilitation Course prior to participation.
This course is a lab dominant course designed to allow students to have a guided and supervised approach to the Human Rehabilitation Framework’s (HRF) capacity processes as it relates to movement, manual therapy, and symptomology. This course work is a blend of lecture, lab and case studies to maximize clinical application.
The study of movement and pain has undergone significant changes in the last four decades as increased effort to move healthcare from a biomedical to biopsychosocial approach for care. The Human Rehabilitation Framework (HRF) is the world’s first biopsychosocial process-based approach to rehabilitation, accessible by all disciplines to deliver care in a transdisciplinary manner. It addresses the criticisms of the Biopsychosocial (BPS) Model and is an evolutionary step forward for Evidence-Based Practice (EBP), providing a new perspective that synthesizes scientific evidence, clinical practice, and personalized care. The HRF is based on the scientific philosophy of Functional Contextualism and replaces differential diagnosis, Clinical Practice Guidelines (CPGs), Clinical Prediction Rules (CPRs), and Clinical Pathways with a process-based approach for evaluation and intervention. It supports advances in personalized precision medicine and the value-based care model and is designed to be ready for the future of biomedicine and biopsychosocial research.
Course Target Audience: Physical Therapists, Athletic Trainers, Occupational Therapists, Chiropractors, Physical and Occupational Therapist Assistants, Massage Therapists, Counselors/Social Workers, Nurses/Nurse Practitioners, Osteopaths, Physicians, Rehabilitation Professional Students
Enable participants to proficiently evaluate patient movement, manual therapy needs, and symptomology through the Biopsychosocial Process-Based Human Rehabilitation Framework, applying contemporary science to understand and improve loading capacity processes.
Equip participants with enhanced critical thinking abilities regarding movement, exercise, and manual therapy by viewing these elements through the lens of the Human Rehabilitation Framework and the latest scientific insights into movement, pain, and rehabilitation practices.
Amplify the participant’s capacity to navigate the complexities of rehabilitation and patient care, promoting “Confident Ambiguity” when addressing varied and multifaceted patient challenges. This includes fostering a deeper understanding of pain, its impact on patients, and the application of personalized, evidence-based interventions within a biopsychosocial framework.
