[MANCHESTER, UNITED KINGDOM] The Force Awakens: How to REALLY use biomechanics in clinical practice (2 days) (1)
Sat 28 Feb
|Stepping Hill Hospital
Biomechanics is a huge field of science which has been misapplied to musculoskeletal healthcare for decades. Ideas of what 'optimal' movement is are changing and 'The Force Awakens' is here to help guide us on what is clinically important!

About the event
Biomechanics is a huge field of science which has been misapplied to musculoskeletal healthcare for decades. Ideas of what 'optimal' movement is and dogma associated with certain movements such as spinal flexion and knee valgus is slowly changing.
Improvements in pain and disability have rarely been found to be attributed to changes in different biomechanical variables through the various treatments that we use, which has maybe left a proportion of us believing that biomechanics don't really matter.
This course has been designed for people who may not have a strong grounding in biomechanics, to learn and explore what this field actually is and how it can be correctly applied to clinical work.
Tickets
Full Weekend
This ticket is for the two full day, in-person version of 'The Force Awakens'
£260.00
+£6.50 ticket service fee
SATURDAY ONLY
Saturday's content includes introduction to how we should think about biomechanics clinically, understand what vectors, moment arms and torques are in relation to human movement and rehab, and viewing movement goals in rehab through an Ecological Dynamics framework. This is essential theory to understand how to integrate biomechanics more into clinical practice! What you won't hear much about is applying force testing into rehabilitation and how we should think about momentum changes in rehab.
