TMTA Fall Workshop 2012
September 29, 29, 30, 2012
Ed Presley, RPT, Educator
Dickson, TN
Assessment and Management of Shoulder-Arm Syndrome:
A Soft Tissue Perspective with Emphasis on Pain Management and Education
Educator: Ed Presley PT, LMT, COMT
 Ed Presley PT, LMT, COMT graduated from the University of Tennessee at Memphis in 1997 with a Bachelor’s Degree in Physical Therapy. In 2001 Ed graduated from The Bodyworks School of Massage in Jackson, Tennessee, and received his license as a Massage Therapist. In 2003 Ed decided he wanted to learn more about manual therapy. He began attending Maitland Manual Therapy courses, and he received his certification in manual therapy as a Maitland Certified Orthopedic Manual Therapist (COMT) at an intermediate level in 2004. Also in 2004, Ed enrolled in a graduate program in Texas at Texas Tech University where he is now working on a Doctor of Science in Physical Therapy (ScDPT) Degree in Orthopedics and Manual Therapy.
Ed has been in private practice for seven years, and he is the owner of Physical Therapy of Dyersburg in Dyersburg, Tennessee, where he treats many different types of injuries and pathological conditions of the neck and shoulder as well as the rest of the body.
Course description:
This soft tissue course will address common shoulder and cervical spine pain that arise from everyday activity of healthcare providers including cumulative trauma. This course will also address the pain caused by these pathological conditions and how to treat shoulder and cervical spine symptoms based on the type of pain presented by the patient and/or client. Examination techniques will be discussed so that the treating therapist will be able to identify and treat shoulder and cervical spine symptoms with the correct soft tissue techniques. By using lectures and laboratory sessions, the therapist will be instructed on various mechanisms of injury that cause shoulder and cervical spine symptoms and how to educate their patient and/or client on prevention of injury. This course is being offered by Ed as his final project of the ScDPT program to Massage Therapists, Physical Therapists and Physical Therapists Assistants on the subject of Shoulder-Arm Syndrome.
You will need to bring a table and massage lotion. Snacks will be available during breaks of the course.
Registration is $225.00 per person. Please make check payable to the Tennessee Massage Therapy Association.
Contact hours for continuing education are twelve and one half hours.
If you have any questions or need additional information, please call Jane Spencer at 662/890-7783 or e-mail jspencer001@centurylink.net.
TMTA is proud to sponsor RPT Ed Presley for 2012. Ed is a powerful manual therapist, and owner of the highly successful Physical Therapy of Dyersburg. He will offer a detailed short course on the biomechanics of the neck and shoulder complex. This is of special importance to LMT’s who are at risk for those same cumulative stress injuries that we see in athletes!
The new “evidence-based” standards challenge the rehab industry to continually upgrade their understanding. Insurance reimbursement demands clear results with articulate plans of care. Ed is inviting other Tennessee therapists to join TMTA members, and this event deserves a crowd! By the end of 12 contact hours, participants will:
- Understand the detailed anatomy and complex movement patterns of the shoulder and neck, as they work together.
- Sort out the relevant symptoms in order to set an effective plan of care.
- Upgrade their manual skills to not only get results, but to avoid injuring themselves in the process.
- Become an articulate educator to keep your clients healthy for recovery, and to convince potential new clients of your real value.
ALSO:
The 2012 Fall Retreat will bring back the ever-popular Diann Smithson to present the ethics and substance abuse update, mandated for the 2011-2012 CEU cycle. As the former director of the Health Related Boards in Tennessee, Diann has closely observed and advocated for LMT’s for many years.
Again, we are using the centrally located and affordable venue in Dickson, TN.
