3 Minute Functional Exam

This practical and entertaining webinar will cover a 3-minute functional evaluation for identifying seven commonly overlooked problems that delay recovery. In one way or another, these seven "œfunctional" diagnoses contribute to many, if not all, of the "œstructural" diagnoses that chiropractors treat. The webinar will show attendees how to quickly screen for: Upper Crossed Syndrome, Scapular Dyskinesis, Lower Crossed Syndrome, Hip Abductor Weakness, Paradoxical Breathing, Spinal Instability, and Foot Hyperpronation. Healthcare is changing- and regardless of who is ultimately paying for your care, they want results! Recognition and management of these seven diagnoses can dramatically and immediately improve your clinical results. You will leave this webinar with practical, evidence-based skills for quickly resolving musculoskeletal pain from head to toe.

• •Perform a rapid 3-minute functional screening examination to identify seven commonly overlooked functional limitations
• •Recognize and assess Upper Crossed Syndrome and its impact on cervical and thoracic dysfunction
• •Identify scapular dyskinesis patterns and understand their relationship to upper extremity pain and dysfunction
• •Evaluate Lower Crossed Syndrome and distinguish it from other lumbar pathologies
• •Screen for hip abductor weakness and its role in lower extremity and lumbar compensation patterns
• •Assess breathing mechanics and paradoxical breathing patterns as contributors to spinal dysfunction
• •Detect spinal instability through practical clinical tests and differentiate it from structural pathology
• •Recognize foot hyperpronation and its kinetic chain effects on lower extremity and spinal alignment
• •Apply evidence-based management strategies to address these seven functional diagnoses in clinical practice
• •Improve clinical outcomes by integrating functional assessment into your standard patient evaluation
