This interactive program will consist of two modules. Part one will utilize a combination of lecture and lab, to examine an approach to assessing disorders of the thoracolumbar-pelvic regions by utilizing a combination of standard orthopedic examination, directional preference testing, and provocative maneuvers. The goal of this presentation is to appreciate the role that repetitive motion and static postural loading play in identifying the motions, postures, and loads that create further harm, and need to be modified, to enhance the individual recovery process and empower the athlete to help manage their recovery. Part two will attempt to interpret the literature to develop an appropriate treatment strategy for athletes with low back disorders. We will examine the research as it explores the role of motor control, strengthening, proprioceptive, and manual treatment strategies, and their applicability to athletic populations. Attendees will also explore a few of the exercise progressions examined in the lecture through a combination of video analysis and live practice.
