RACGP CPD Movement as Medicine in Non Specific Low Back Pain


Description
This course aims to provide the GP with the most current research information supporting the use of ‘movement as medicine’, with a specific focus on nonspecific chronic spinal pain. It is also very pertinent in light of the recently released National Strategic Action Plan for Pain Management (2019) report into pain management requesting a move towards evidence based and technologically driven innovative pain management interventions .This course aims to inform the GP regarding targeted, staged-progressive, isolated and quantifiable exercise effects in order to understand the effectiveness of these practices in a treatment intervention for patients with chronic back pain. The course will provide theoretical knowledge and practical skills to understand the role that exercise can have in the rehabilitation of their patients with nonspecific chronic spinal pain. The aim is to provide GPs with a practical classification of back and neck pain in order to determine the prevalent movement patterns/categories limitations of back and neck pain. This information will inform the GP’s ability to educate patients and to prescribe and refer patient’s movement prescriptions to consulting Exercise Therapists.
