Description

Instructor: Angelo DiMaggio PT, Dip. MDT
For more than 15 years, Angelo DiMaggio, PT, Dip MDT, has been employed as a spine consultant by medical centers throughout North America for the purpose of resolving their most complex and unresponsive cases. The combined results show that 52% of these cases experienced a significant or complete alleviation of symptoms (as determined by the attending clinician). These impressive results provide both the motivation and basis for this course and the entire course series while the successful treatment methods employed provide the framework.
You will learn the highly organized examination and documentation system, as well as new “Lumbar Strategies” which are the key to resolving complex cases. You will be given clear, consice clinical guidelines regarding ADL and workplace modifications, Work Hardening and Functional Reconditioning program en-hancement the “essentials” of the McKenzie evaluation and treatment approach, how to motivate patients toward self-reliance, and many other important topics. This course will not rely on the theoretical discussion of hypothetical patients. Instead, you will get the same first hand look (as in the Consultation Format) at real patients being examined and treated daily by the instructor.
