FEEDBACK FROM FELLOW CLINICIANS ON RECENT PART MDT COURSES:
• MDT is a game changer in my Physiotherapy practice, patients recover so fast once directional preference is identified.
• My knowledge of MDT increased significantly, particularly with the amount of different options/variations there are w/ assessment and treatment, e.g., the lateral component and how many different options there are to try to incorporate that into an exercise. I have also learned the significant benefits of force progressions and not needing to immediately perform manual therapy on someone before doing a proper movement screen and giving the patient the opportunity to self-manage.
• I feel so much more confident treating complex and unusual symptomatic patients with the MDT system. I know it will help me effectively classify them and give them an effective treatment plan.
• I thought MDT would not be appropriate for patients presenting with acute back pain due to repetitive movements involved. The course has taught me that MDT is appropriate treatment approach for lasting relief in acute low back pain.
