CEF Seminars
Nationwide: Includes a wide range of workshops for example in 2011 they ran the Movement Assessment Workshop – the description of which was as follows:-
“Static postural assessments, isolated muscle balance and joint range of motion test assessments will not tell you how your clients/patients move. If we’re interested in helping our clients/patients move – then we need to accurately assess movement. Static assessments will tell you about how a body holds itself in relation to gravity and may give some information about shortened or lengthened muscles. However these assessments don’t tell you about the “software” – the motor programmes that instruct the body to move. Isolated muscle strength/length tests give information about the “hardware” of the body, but only about how muscles work in isolation, not how they work together in integrated movement. Understanding the hardware and the software requirements of movement will allow you to identify both faulty movement patterns and any joint restrictions and stability issues.
This course also explores new methods of assessing bodies. Participants will learn to practically apply these methods of assessment. The course uses simple tests and practical problem solving to assess and then correct movement patterns.Participants will receive a full assessment battery of the tests used in this workshop. REPs discounts available.”
