A 70 minute discussion with Diane Lee and Adam Meakins, hosted by Antony Lo.

This is a 40 minute lecture on the biomechanics of the foot and a couple simple tests to assess alignment of the foot in relationship to the lower extremity and the biomechanics of the foot in a squat.

Orthopaedic musculoskeletal clinicians are often challenged by clients with persistent pregnancy-related pelvic girdle pain due to the lack of assessment and treatment skills for the pelvic floor.

This interview with Diane and Mark Finch (RMT) will introduce you to the evidence-informed, clinical reasoning approach - the Integrated Systems Model - and its key concepts.

This 45-minute webinar was produced for IFOMPT 2020 and will introduce tests to determine when the thorax is playing a critical role for an individual with impaired function of the pelvic girdle (loss of mobility and/or control) with or without associated pelvic girdle pain.

An Introduction to the Integrated Systems Model & How to Find the Primary Driver for Linking Chains for Optimal Function

Understanding the Relationships Between the Cranium, Neck and Upper Thorax/Shoulder Girdle using The Integrated Systems Model for Pain & Disability

New perspectives from The Integrated Systems Model for Treating Women with Pelvic Girdle Pain, Urinary Incontinence, Pelvic Organ Prolapse, and Diastasis Rectus Abdominis

Acute back pain patients often have similar histories but present at a different stage of their condition. Ultimately, best conservative care should consider, and address, the role each system and body region is having on the collective cortical body-matrix.

The Thorax - An Integrated Approach (2018) will update the reader on the relevant anatomy, known biomechanics, clinical assessment, musculoskeletal conditions and treatment of the thorax and how these relate to the function of the whole body. An integrated biopsychosocial model (the Integrated...

This study tested the hypothesis that the clinical objective to narrow the IRD may be counterproductive for optimal control of the abdomen, and although enhanced activation of lateral abdominal muscle may widen the IRD, this may lead to more optimal control of the anterior fascias.

In clinical practice, it is common to see complex patients with a combination of impairments in multiple systems including the musculoskeletal, urogynecological and respiratory. A thorough evaluation often reveals many past injuries, thoughts/beliefs, emotional states and movement habits that have...

It has been over 30 years since Erl Pettman introduced the ‘Quadrant Approach’ for assessment and treatment of musculoskeletal disorders (Pettman 1981, 1984). Today, we understand that the thorax is part of many integrated systems including the musculoskeletal, respiratory, cardiac, digestive...

This article will provide a synopsis of the current state of research evidence as well as observations from clinical experience pertaining to the biomechanics of the thorax in order to help clinicians organise this knowledge and facilitate evidence-based and informed management of the, often...
