Workshop Agenda

Day 1 – Building the Foundation

10:00 AM - 10:30 AM

Introduction and Workshop Overview

• Get an enthusiastic start with an engaging overview of the workshop.

• Learn about the importance of spine care in managing pain and enhancing movement.

• Understand expectations, structure, and key outcomes to stay focused and motivated.

10:30 AM - 12:30 PM

Session 1: Spine Anatomy in Detail

• Deep-dive into the structure of the spine, breaking down each vertebra, disc, ligament, and nerve.

• Explore the unique features of cervical, thoracic, lumbar, sacral, and coccygeal regions.

• Practical relevance in identifying normal versus pathological anatomy during assessments.

Session 2: Anatomical Biomechanics

• Learn the core principles of spinal motion, including load distribution, mechanical stresses, and adaptations.

• Analyze how biomechanics influences posture, gait, and functional movement patterns.

• Understand common movement dysfunctions with real-time breakout sessions.

12:30 PM - 1:30 PM

• Lunch Break

1:30 PM - 3:30 PM

Session 3: Principles of Spinal Movement

• Explore the science of spinal movements—flexion, extension, rotation, and lateral flexion.

• Gain clarity on segmental motion and the role of stability vs. mobility in healthy spine function.

• Hands-on mini-workshops to simulate movement assessments.

Session 4: Anatomy of Posture and Assessing Posture

• Discover the intricate link between posture, spinal alignment, and chronic pain.

• Analyze common postural deviations like kyphosis, lordosis, and scoliosis.

• Practical demonstration of posture evaluation on participants with guided feedback.

3:30 PM - 5:00 PM

Session 5: Assessment of Back Pain

• Learn to conduct a thorough clinical back pain assessment covering both acute and chronic conditions.

• Master history-taking techniques and targeted physical examinations.

• Case study discussions to practice identifying causes like muscle strain, disc issues, or ligament injuries.

Day 2 – Advanced Techniques and Applications

10:00 AM - 12:00 PM

Session 6: Diagnostic Tools and Imaging

• Understand the role of diagnostic imaging (X-rays, MRI, CT) in identifying spine dysfunctions.

• Review case imaging examples and connect findings to clinical symptoms.

• Learn practical tips for collaborating with radiologists and interpreting results effectively.

Session 7: Differential Diagnosis and Red Flags / Referral Protocol

• Identify life-threatening "red flags" like fractures, tumors, infections, or cauda equina syndrome.

• Learn to differentiate mechanical pain from systemic conditions.

• Develop confidence in knowing when to refer patients for specialized care.

12:00 PM - 1:00 PM

• Lunch Break

1:00 PM - 2:30 PM

Session 8: Exercise Prescription

• Gain expertise in creating tailored exercise programs for spine rehabilitation.

• Understand strengthening and flexibility exercises for key muscle groups like the core, lumbar extensors, and erector spinae.

• Discover techniques to modify exercises for pain tolerance, mobility restrictions, and individual capacity.

Session 9: Therapeutic Modalities and Exercise Therapy

• Hands-on experience with modalities like heat and cold therapy, ultrasound, laser therapy, and electrical stimulation.

• Master manual techniques, including soft tissue mobilization, joint adjustments, and myofascial release.

• Practice designing integrated therapy plans combining modalities with targeted exercise routines.

2:30 PM - 4:00 PM

Session 10: Multimodal Pain Management Techniques

• Discover approaches that address both the physical and psychological aspects of pain.

• Learn cognitive-behavioral strategies to improve patient outcomes.

• Interactive group exercises to practice combining therapies for holistic pain management.

Session 11: Orthopedic Treatments

• Overview of surgical and non-surgical spine treatment options.

• Familiarity with advanced orthopedic procedures like discectomy, fusion, and joint injections.

• Case discussions to understand treatment progression and outcome expectations.

4:00 PM - 5:00 PM

Session 12: Q&A and Knowledge Consolidation

• Wrap up with an interactive discussion to clarify all doubts.

• Share experiences, challenges, and key takeaways from the workshop.

• Engage in real-life clinical case reviews to cement your learning.
