With Mandy Röscher – BSc Physiotherapy (WITS); Physiotherapy Clinician and Lecturer

Mandy has a passion for teaching and has given a variety of lectures, particularly on Pain Neurophysiology, Pain Neuroscience Education and Communication. Mandy supervises and lectures on the SAOMT Course and is the current national co-ordinator for the Advanced Neuromusculoskeletal Course (previously OMT Course).

Past Pax feedback from Mandys previous courses

Mandy, you are excellent with explaining and communicate effectively. You bring the real world and scientific knowledge together. Thank you for a brilliant course. Club Physio, thank you for always being so prompt and friendly with responding to e-mails.

Thanks Mandy and Craig for the course. You’ve inspired and hopefully equipped me now to understand and help my chronic pain patients! I will also now go and read ‘Explain Pain’ that has been lying in my bookcase for years. Sadly but true……

Satisfactory as it was my first

I found Mandy to be an excellent teacher, really good with explanations to further our understanding of the material. I found all the info really interesting, challenging and relevant to my practice, and it has opened my eyes up a bit more to the world of pain education and communication and how important it is to incorporate it in the way that we assess and treat our patients. The extra resources and articles, and having access to the course notes has been really beneficial as well, thank you so much for that Mandy! The course was really well run, with no technical issues which was great. Thanks Club Physio.

Thank you so much for organizing a course on such an important and interesting subject! And what a teacher – amazing, bravo!

I loved the course, Mandy presents it on a more practical basis so you can implement it directly on your patients. It was alot of knowledge to digest in a short time.

Mandy’s knowledge was exceptional – well presented sessions brimming with information and current thinking in terms of management and research. The sessions were organised efficiently, ran to time and were scheduled into the week very well. I feel lucky to be able to access such high quality education from the comfort of my own office and at a time when other CPD activities had to be postponed. It was good to have access to the material for a couple of days after the sessions to give an opportunity to go over some of the complicated material.Thank you very much!

BIOMECHANICS OF BREATHING IN MSK PATIENTS – via zoom live streaming – 19TH JULY 2020 FROM 2-5PM SA TIME.

With Mandy Röscher

The Diaphragm is the primary breathing muscle. In chronic pain patients, breathing biomechanics are often altered with a more apical pattern dominating. This lack of recruitment of the diaphragm can have far reaching consequences.

Outline
• Physiology and Biomechanics of Breathing
• Physiological Effects of Slow Breathing
• Importance of Nose Breathing
• Chronic Hyperventilation and Hypocapnia
• Assessment of Breathing in musculoskeletal pain patients
• Re-education of Breathing for musculoskeletal pain patients

Learning Objectives
By the end of this module the learner will be able to:
• Explain the physiological processes and anatomical structures involved in breathing
• Explain the physiological effect of slow, diaphragmatic breathing
• Explain why nose breathing is important
• Understand the correlation between chronic hyperventilation and hypocapnia and the consequences to the musculoskeletal system as a result
• Assess a musculoskeletal patient for breathing dysfunction
• Implement a breathing re-education programme in musculoskeletal patients

Take Home Message
Breathing dysfunction has physiological effects on a variety of body systems. Being able to identify and manage breathing dysfunctions in your MSK patients may be the missing link in managing those difficult patients that just aren’t getting better.
