connective tissue,
soft tissue release,
corrective frictions,
trigger points
and muscle energy techniques.
You will develop your subjective and objective assessment skills to include clinical reasoning and the use of a wide range of special and functional muscle test. You will be able to give advice on treatment modalities used to support soft tissue repair at each stage of injury. In addition you will explore a wide range of pathophysiology and acquire a deeper understanding of anatomy and physiology through the practical application of the newly acquired objective tests.
Units which are covered,
Conducting subjective and objective assessment
The aim of this unit is to develop the skills, knowledge and understanding needed to analyse information gathered from subjective and objective client assessments. You will also develop detailed knowledge of the bony and soft structures of the major joints of the body, factors that may predispose clients to injury, factors that may influence clients ability to recover from injury, postural deviations, ageing and the pathophysiology of common muscle and tendon injuries.
You will be taught a variety of objective testing methods to include:
range of movement (active, passive and resisted), postural analysis and a range of functional and special tests. This will include interpretation of the findings and ability to evaluate each method critically. Ultimately, from the information gathered, you will be able to devise appropriate treatment plans supported with rationale for choices.
