Who is this Course Great For?
Injury Rehabilitation Preview and Introduction
Introduction to the Online Injury Rehabilitation Course, that covers The Neurophysiology of Pain, Muscle injuries and healing times, Tendon Injuries and Healing times and Ligament Injury and healing times and rehabilitation exercises for muscle injuries, rehabilitation exercises for tendon injuries and rehabilitation exercises for ligament injuries
Pain L1 - Understanding Pain
What exactly is pain? The basic neurophysiology behind pain and how pain is created in the brain and what its purpose is.
Pain L2 - Modulators of Nociception
What is nociception? What is the purpose nociception? Why do we feel pain and how does pain travel through our body?
Pain L3 - Bio-Psycho-Social Model
What is the biopsychosocial model? How is the perception of pain heightened when we factor in the biological factors, the psychological factors and the social problems that suffering pain might create, or the suffer may anticipate creating
Pain L4 - DIMS & SIMS
Understanding what are the Dangers In Me Vs the Safeties in Me and how do DIMs and Sims effect pain and the awareness of potential threats.
Pain L5 - Case Study
Ollie talks through a Case Study of the potential scenario surrounding a Footballer with an old Hamstring Injury feels a slight twinge in the same hamstring just before the season begins. Might they be more sensitive to the pain based on their history and the timing of the injury?
Pain L6 - Nociceptive Pain Recap
Recap over what is nociception, what is its purpose, why do we benefit from it and how that effects our belief system around pain and function.
Pain L7 - Chronic Pain/Central Sensitisation
What is the difference between Nociceptive Pain and Chronic Pain. What are the signs and symptoms of chronic pain? How to better understand when an acute pain or gradual onset pain becomes chronic and what we can start to do about it
Pain L8 - Physiological Effects
What are the changes that occur as disinhibition of the nervous system. What kind of shift in neurochemistry is caused by ongoing pain. The increase in sensitivty to noxious and non-noxious stimuli. How does the sensory cortex re-organise itself. What kind of emotional changes occur and what kind of alterations will the rest of our nervous system undergo.
Pain L9 - Graded Motor Imaging (GMI)
Paradigm for managing Chronic Pain from David Butler
Complex Regional Pain Syndrome
Phantom Limb Pain
Stroke Patients
Post surgical immobilisation pain
Muscles L10 - Muscle Structure & Function
Understand the basic underlying structure of muscle fibres and how that relates to injury and healing and the function of muscle fibres and how they act when damaged.
Muscles L11 - Injury Classification & Grading
An expansion on the basic classification of muscle injuries and an introduction to the use of a new more detailed classification that outlines both severity and location of the muscle tear. This can then lead to more accurate recovery timelines
Muscles L12 - Muscle Injury Location Grading System
An expansion on the basic classification of muscle injuries and an introduction to the use of a new more detailed classification that outlines both severity and location of the muscle tear. This can then lead to more accurate recovery timelines
Muscles L13 - Hamstring Injuries
One the most frequently injured muscles as a result of a tear is the hamstring muscle. Ollie dives deep into the physiology of a muscle tear with hamstrings as the example
Muscles L14 - Risk Factors Contributing Towards Muscle Tears
The difference between muscle physiology of muscles that are;
Short/Weak
Short/Strong
Long/Weak
Long/Strong
Muscles L15 - Classifications of Hamstring Injuries
How to apply the classification of general muscle injuries to specific hamstring muscles and how to start thinking about the rehabilitation process
Muscles L16 - High Speed Running
How does high speed running increase our chances of tearing our hamstring, and how this concept of speed and velocity of muscle contraction can be attributed other muscle tears.
What we can do to rehabilitate hamstring injuries and how we should approach a muscle tear rehabilitation programme for any muscle!
Tendons L17 - Tendinopathy Introduction
Learn what exactly a tendon is made of, the terminologies involved, what is a tendinopathy, pain and The Cook Model, how to rehabilitate tendons and thought processes behind creating rehabilitation programmes.
Tendons L18 - The Cook Model
What exactly is The Cook Model and how is it useful to better understand tendon injuries and how to structure a rehabilitation programme for them
Tendons L19 - Treatment & Rehabilitation Exercise Options
Considering the Person, What exercises to choose, should you loading tendon isometrically, should you loading tendon eccentrically, what kind of reps and sets for strength training and restoring the spring and plymetric training
Ligaments L20 - Introduction to Ligament Injuries
Structure and Function of Ligaments, how they get injured, signs and symptoms of injury and severity. Ligament Healing Response stages.
Ligaments L21 - Signs & Symptoms and Factors Effecting Recovery Outcome
Factors effecting healing, rehabilitation and preventative neuromuscular control training
