Busloads of physical therapists, physical therapist assistants and students plan to attend the 2023 CPTA Legislative Day! During this event attendees learn about bills in the legislature that have a direct impact on the therapy profession. Attendees receive outstanding advice on advocacy from our seasoned lobbyist. Some will have the opportunity to meet with legislators and their staff members who represent their home cities, in person. Those attendees who are unable to attend meetings will have an opportunity to schedule a virtual meeting at a later date.

And most of all, you will experience first-hand what a strong grassroots advocacy program can do.

At the conclusion of this day, participants will be able to:

• Identify how a bill becomes law, 

• Design a comprehensive legislative strategy for the advancement of the physical therapy profession,

CEU: 8 contact hours (0.8 CEUs pending approval by CPTA)

Description: This comprehensive shoulder course will introduce the ‘Results Treatment Method (RTM)’ with instruction from the founder of RTM, Andreas Schenk, PT, RPT. Although this unique treatment approach can be applied to all regions of the body, this course will specifically focus on treating shoulder impingement related impairments. Through the application of the “RTM Theory”, attendees will explore and learn treatment concepts for the shoulder and obtain helpful tools which can immediately be implemented into clinical practice. We will also share what makes RTM different from conventional interventions and encourage attendees to consider this process for treating shoulder dysfunction to achieve your patient’s highest potential.

About the Presenter: Andreas Schenk has over 30 years of clinical experience, beginning with his physical therapy education in Schaffhausen, Switzerland. After receiving his California Physical Therapy license in 1991, extensive training in various challenging environments influenced him to develop the proprietary “Results Treatment Method”. This method is utilized to treat patients with a whole body postural approach that influences a patient's proprioception and motor control to deliver effective results. He is the proud owner of a 20-year-old outpatient clinic Results Physical Therapy in Coronado, California.  

Objectives:

1. Understand the significance of the “Results Treatment Method (RTM) Theory” in the treatment of shoulder impingement

2. Assess the anatomical and biomechanical postural impairments of the upper quadrant that contribute to shoulder impingement

3. Understand the treatment sequencing to effectively address the identified shoulder impairments

4. Competently execute RTM-based manual therapy and neuromuscular re-education techniques that efficiently treat patients with shoulder dysfunction

5. Understand therapeutic exercise progressions and identify compensations within the RTM treatment protocol for shoulder impingement

Course Description:

Many physical therapists are well versed in traditional gait analysis. However, there is an emerging knowledge gap among clinicians in conducting competent running gait analyses. In this course attendees will not only learn how to conduct a thorough running gait analysis but understand how to start implementing their very own running gait analysis into clinical practice.

Course Objectives:

• Define running gait analysis

• Identify equipment and objective measures necessary to perform a running gait analysis

• Examine the biomechanics and causation of common running injuries and running gait

  analysis findings

• Explore how to implement a running gait analysis in clinical practice

Description: As Physical Therapists, we evaluate and treat both dysfunctions and symptoms daily. Our best practice is prevention, differential diagnosis of the dysfunction, and contributing factors to the compensation and symptoms. One of the most relevant findings is how hypomobile/ stiff area can lead to an adjacent hypermobile joint with corresponding adjacent segment/region compensation. During this presentation, Dr. Ghandour will define and describe the progression of adjacent segment disease and its impact on functional mobility and symptomology. Additionally, he will discuss the progression of instability, the impact of selected lumbar surgical procedures (PLIF and XLIF) on musculature anatomy and activation. Fundamental treatment discussion and progressive strategies from non-weight bearing, modified weight-bearing and functional stabilization, and return to activities of daily living and sports, will be demonstrated.
