    KC Course Principles
 

Our course structure is built on the following principles:

The diagnosis, classification and motor control retraining of movement dysfunction

Understanding the biomechanics of normal function

Reviewing the biomechanics of abnormal function producing tissue stress and pathology

Making links between tests of abnormal movement and symptoms

Clinical reasoning - a framework to identify priorities for rehab, where to start retraining, and how to be very specific and effective in exercise prescription and individual retraining packages

Understanding which way and how fast to progress, and knowing how to tell when retraining has achieved and effective end goal independently of symptoms

Defining a new model of core stability

Control of direction for diagnostic frameworks

Put the latest research findings into clinical practice

Developing rehabilitation principles and applying retraining strategies for the local and global muscle systems:

  •      Control of direction regain control of the pain producing movement
  •      Control of translation deep muscle control of inter-segmental motin (translation)
  •      Control of imbalance re-establish correct recruitment patterns between 1 joint stability muscles and multi-joint mobilisers

Understanding recruitment threshold - applying principles of neurophysiology to motor control retraining exercise planning and design

Reviewing muscle function based on the latest research and consideration of muscle action in terms of one-joint function and multi-joint function

Training motor control for low load postural problems

Applying high load training to strengthen and recover from from atrophy
