Cost: $3250 AUD (inc GST)[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]The BSPTS is about to launch it’s new course restructure for 2020. From January, to become qualified in BSPTS Schroth-based scoliosis management – concept by Rigo, the training entails 3 levels of comprehensive training plus pre-course education.
Essentially the pathway is:
- Introduction to Spinal Deformity course (3 days) – this course is open to any health professional or person interested in learning more about sagittal plane conditions (scheuermann’s/ juvenile hyperkyphosis) and scoliosis. This course may be attended in person (contact us to express interest) or on-line by completing the education modules.
- Level 1 (6 days)
- Level 2 (6 days)
- Level 3 (6 days)
This program will teach the philosophy and treatment principles developed at the Institute of Rigo Salva in Barcelona, Spain over the last 50 years. The 3-D Treatment of Scoliosis from the Barcelona School is based on a system developed in Germany by the late Katerina Schroth and her daughter Christa Lehnert-Schroth, beginning in the 1920s.
This courses will provide an in-depth explanation of anatomy, etiology and treatment of scoliosis. The participant will learn to recognise different patterns of curves in scoliosis and how different patterns are treated with specific exercises. Bracing techniques will be covered.
This three-dimensional scoliosis treatment is based on sensorimotor and kinesthetic principles. Its goals are to facilitate correction of the altered posture, and teach the patient to maintain the corrected posture in daily living activities. The patients are individually trained, even though therapy in groups or an open gym setting can be used in intensive and semi-intensive programs.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_custom_heading text=”OBJECTIVES” use_theme_fonts=”yes”][vc_column_text]The C1 course is about learning the BSPTS-Concept, more specifically about Specific Principles of Correction and all the pre-definable Strategies of Correction for all the clinical types, G1, G2-3C, G2-4C, G2-N3N4 and G1-2, in the way they are applied in the 4-5 Basic Starting Positions (Semi-hanging, Supine, Prone-On-Knees, Prone-On-Stool and Side-Lying). General Principles of the BSPTS shall be all applied and once Correction-Expansion-Activation have been learned, Integration will be then brought into the sitting and upright position.[/vc_column_text][vc_custom_heading text=”PRE-REQUISITES” use_theme_fonts=”yes”][vc_column_text]Sufficient comprehension of the following from Intro Course:
- Anatomical terminology
- Scoliosis terminology
- Cobb angle
- Rotation
- BSPTS Clinical type and the schema of blocks
- BSPTS terminology
- Curve pattern terminology
- 3D nature of Scoliosis
[/vc_column_text][vc_custom_heading text=”OUTCOMES” use_theme_fonts=”yes”][vc_column_text]Upon completion of C1, the participant will be able to:
1. Identify indications and contraindications for scoliosis specific exercises.
2. Identify radiological variables in scoliosis assessment and classification.
3. Identify scoliosis patients appropriate for conservative management.
4. Perform an individualized scoliosis patient clinical evaluation.
5. Design a specific treatment plan and goals based on the patient presentation.
6. Treat/teach patients using basic 3-D principles of correction according to BSPTS
7. Treat/teach in 5 basic starting positions (supine, prone, side-lying, sitting and standing).
8. Demonstrate appropriate tactile and verbal cues to facilitate appropriate patient response to treatment.
9. Teach joint protection and proper ADL principles for patients with scoliosis[/vc_column_text][vc_custom_heading text=”COURSE OUTLINE” use_theme_fonts=”yes”][vc_column_text]1. Introduction
Definition of scoliosis, signs and symptoms, structural changes, postural component concept, muscular imbalance, postural schema concept, correctibility. General objectives and principles of specific scoliosis rehabilitation. Short history of the Schroth Method and its relation with the BSPTS.
2. General description of scoliosis and other spinal deformities
Definition of a scoliotic curve – SRS terminology – Cobb angle – Axial rotation – Harmonic shape of curve – Moe and Kettleson’s curve pattern classification – Definition of the transition point – Definition of the Central Sacral Line (CSL) – Spinal imbalance according to the CSL – Risser sign – Normal sagittal configuration – Description of different sagittal geometries – Scheuermann’s Kyphosis – Hyper-lordosis – Spondylolisthesis
3. Normal trunk shape and posture
Trunk shape and posture in sagittal problems – The Basic Barcelona School of Scoliosis Rehabilitation Classification
4. General principles of correction
Correction of the postural collapse – Auto-elongation – Correction of the frontal component – Deflection – Correction of the rotational component- Derotation – Practice session – Rotational Breathing – Facilitation – Stabilization
5. Various starting positions for beginning exercises
