Booking reference: ANBMT Group \nCourse Description \nIrrespective of etiology (e.g.\, surgery\, burn\, accident)\, collagen remodeling (scar tissue) reconstructs tissue integrity following injury. When the wound healing and scar formation process is disrupted\, problematic or pathophysiological scars may develop. Using the STAR critical thinking approach (Situation\, Task\, Action\, Results)\, this course explores the factors influencing scar outcomes (functional vs. problematic) and how early massage and manual therapy intervention can help prevent or mitigate problematic scarring\, as well as facilitate meaningful change in mature scar presentations. \nAs therapists are more than a pair of hands\, the importance of therapeutic alliance and communication skills will be emphasized throughout the course.

Since graduating with honours from Eastern College in 2016\, she has completed extensive post-graduate training and research in TMJ dysfunction\, concussion and whiplash management\, cervical biomechanics\, fascial release\, and intraoral techniques. TMJ-related treatments now make up a significant portion of her clinical practice\, and she receives regular referrals from dentists\, chiropractors\, osteopaths\, and other allied health professionals. \nAs Louise’s practice evolved\, she observed a strong clinical correlation between TMJ dysfunction and both headache and migraine presentations. This led to the development of a secondary clinical focus in treating head pain – including tension-type headaches\, cervicogenic headaches\, post-concussion headaches\, migraine headaches\, and headache disorders secondary to jaw dysfunction. Her interest in head and neck injury management began prior to entering the profession\, while working and training closely with competitive Muay Thai and MMA fighters at her father’s gym\, where concussions\, jaw trauma\, and whiplash-type injuries are common. Louise began her career working alongside a local chiropractor\, before opening her own clinic\, Therapeutics Ltd.\, in 2018. In addition to her clinical work\, she served as a Clinic Supervisor for the Massage Therapy Program at Eastern College for a year and a half\, where she oversaw student development in assessment skills\, treatment planning\, and professional standards. Outside of clinical practice\, Louise has a longstanding background in athletics\, including Muay Thai instruction and personal training\, and is an avid runner. \nREGISTER HERE: http://REGISTER HERE: https://www.anbmt.ca/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/Unravelling-Head-Pain-2026.pdf

This course teaches the therapist how to teach patients about pain science in a treatment framework that still utilizes specific/corrective exercise and manual therapy.  Therapists are taught a model of treatment that simplifies the assessment process and the treatment. \nLearning Style \nThis course is a mix of a discussion-based lecture\, case studies and practical components.  The practical components are used with the case studies to “feel” the interventions.  However\, there are no “specific” techniques.  Rather\, the point is to show that the framework helps the therapist use their own techniques but in a different way.  Further\, we can then share “techniques” from all participants in the class.  Exercises are demonstrated and time is given to practice these exercises.  When exploring how Key Messages relate to pain and changing behaviour the practical component helps the therapist use their own experiences and “stories” to fit with the Key Messages of pain and behaviour change. \nObjectives \n\nProvide assessment techniques to aid in diagnosis and management of common musculoskeletal complaints\nDemonstrate how biomechanical treatments and explanations can address the multidimensional nature of pain\nDemonstrate how cognitive restructuring and goal setting of meaningful activities can be used alongside mechanical treatments to address the multidimensional nature of pain\nProvide and teach exercise prescription that is informed by biomechanics and therapeutic neuroscience\nExplain the “pain science” behind common clinical problems and learn methods of applying therapeutic neuroscience education\nIdentify and use their current movement-based skills within a graded exposure and graded activity paradigm\n\nLectures \nModule 1: Course Introduction and Clinical Decision Making (1 hour and 15 minutes) \n\nA review of the multidimensional nature of pain will occur\nClinical questions and themes are posed to help find common threads for rehabilitation\n\nModule 2: Treatment Fundamentals Lecture (60 minutes) \n\nAn alternative to the kinesiopathological model of treatment is produced\nA case for simplicity is made\nClinical reasoning for safety\, potential red flags and contraindications to a biopsychosocial approach\nA simplified framework to incorporate both biomechanical treatments with psychosocial treatments is outlined\n\nModule 3: Reframing the Kinesiopathological Model (50 minutes) \n\nan exploration of the utility and limitations of the biomechanical model in pain and injury management\nintroduction to how the current biomedical model can be simplified and modified to be consistent with the best evidence of both pain science and biomechanical science\nExploration of the role of posture on pain\n\nModule 4: Targets of Exercise Prescription (1 hour and 10 minutes) \n\nA biopsychosocial approach to exercise and movement prescription is introduced\nCase studies are used to explore common and potential mechanisms of therapy\nAn in-depth review of exercise prescription and potential targets of knee osteoarthritis is explored\n\nModule 5: Exercise Prescription Dosage and Variables (1 hour) \n\nA review of the details of exercise prescription\nRepetitions\, sets\, volume\, intensity goals for common targets of exercise\nTopics will include strength\, hypertrophy\, power\, analgesia\, habituation\, range of motion\n\nModule 6: The comprehensive capacity model and the targets of exercise prescription.
