MTAS hosted workshop: Exercise and Movement Rx in Modern Clinical Practice with Marcus Blumensaat

Atlas Hotel, Regina

This workshop is in conjunction with our Annual General Meeting (April 7) and is going ahead as planned.

REGISTER ONLINE HERE

Join us this spring for an MTAS hosted workshop with Marcus Blumensaat, RMT

Held in conjunction with the MTAS Annual General Meeting, at The Atlas Hotel in Regina.

Early bird rates in effect until March 8th - register now to reserve your space!

$495 MTAS members
$400 student MTAS members
$545 non-MTAS
(Inclusive of GST)

We will explore the prescription of exercise and movement from different angles and perspectives, becoming comfortable in its vastness and learning many simple ways to apply it in practice. The foundational concepts of modern clinical practice are constantly evolving, as is the evidence base from which they emerge. We will discuss what these foundational concepts are, their relevance, and how you can incorporate them into your practice.

Course Description:
This is a workshop with lecture and practical components. Come prepared to exercise, but not to the point of sweating.
This two-day, 14-hour course is for musculoskeletal (MSK) clinicians of all levels of experience who are looking to better understand and incorporate more exercise and movement prescription into their practice.  It is for those who wish to explore and learn the multitude of ways patient ‘education’ can be used to positively impact outcomes. It is for those who are keen to level up their practice by getting up to speed on the biopsychosocial model, pain science, person-centered care, evidence-based medicine, and other clinically relevant concepts of modern MSK practice.

This course will enable you to learn skills that don’t require you to use your hands! This can do wonders for your career longevity as well as for diversification of your practice. Injecting life into your regular practice ‘routine’. To the benefit of your patients, you will learn information and skills that you will be able to apply immediately in your practice!

About the instructor:
I am currently in my 18th year of clinical practice as a registered massage therapist in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada. In addition to my private practice, I also work in high-performance sport alongside Canada’s premier Olympic athletes. This branch of my career is highlighted by working at three consecutive Summer Olympic Games.

Over the past 18 years I have been blessed to work with and learn from some of the world’s leading experts in musculoskeletal health care. I read their research papers, books, and blogs. I listen to them on podcasts. I watch their videos and webinars. I complete their courses. I also continue to build my database from hundreds of case studies I see in my clinic.

I am so passionate about moving musculoskeletal health care forward that I decided to start sharing all the great information and knowledge I have compiled over my career. I spent several years putting it into a presentable format and then launched my continuing education courses in 2021. The reviews for my courses have been phenomenal and I have another fantastic year of courses and conference appearances lined up.




 

What are others saying about Marcus's workshops?

Probably the best course I have taken in my 14 years of practice. Dispels myths we have been taught and gives a fresh and well researched outlook on how to treat people. And Marcus is an excellent teacher, his passion for the subject shows and he is really good at making all students feel included and skillfully weaves in the students’ comments and experience into the course content.

DO IT!! Fantastic course. Marcus put so much work into the research and his slides are beautiful
and engaging

Webinar - Best Practices for Assessment, Measurement and Charting

Online

WEBINAR: Best Practices for Assessment, Measurement
and Charting

April's featured webinar is going to take you through the current evidence and best practices for effective assessment, measurement, charting and treatment planning. This may not sound like the most interesting topic out there, but it is one of the most important. I created this approx. 2 hour webinar to give you the fundamental information and step by step protocols that you can follow in order to:

  • simplify your assessment,
  • measure your outcomes,
  • chart in an evidence-based way
  • create patient centered treatment plans

My goal with these webinars and courses is to use my education to translate the research and combine this with my clinical experiences into meaningful knowledge and tools for you to use in your clinic.

Staying at the forefront of research is crucial to ensuring your clients receive the best care possible.

  • How are we supposed to know if our assessments are actually assessing and measuring what we think they are?
  • How do we create valid and reliable patient outcome measures?
  • How do we chart this information?
  • And how do we communicate this to our patients and to insurance companies?

That's why I'm excited to answer these questions for you and welcome you to my upcoming webinar, Best Practices for Assessment, Measurement and Charting

When: Monday April 8th at 6pm Pacific time (7pm Saskatchewan time)
(If you cannot attend live, a recording will be made available to you within 72 hours. If you watch the recording, a literature review must be completed and uploaded to your member profile to earn the credits.)
How much: $77
Credits: 2 primary for MTAS members


During this 2 hour webinar you'll be introduced to knowledge and practical skills to help you integrate current best practices for the assessment, measurement, charting and treatment planning for all major regions of the body.

In this webinar, you will:

✓ Learn how to use patient reported outcome measures
✓ Learn the few orthopaedic and special tests that are valid and reliable
✓ Learn how to chart while being consistent with current evidence
✓ Gain confidence for better treatment planning

I have created this webinar to provide you with an evidence-based approached to help you support better results by improving the well-being of your patient's. Expand your knowledge, refine your skills, and ultimately learn something new!
