November 9 – 12, 2010
Hyatt Regency Century Plaza
Los Angeles, CA, USA
Join an exciting list of international speakers and professionals. This Congress will feature diverse and exciting research delivered by highly recognized professionals from around the world, including the following speakers from past International Fascia Research Congresses:
Frank Willard: Anatomy of the trunk’s connective tissue structures and the lumbar fascia in particular.
Moshe Solomonow: Biomechanics, electromyography, stability and tissue biology of cumulative low back disorder
Andry Vleeming: Dynamic stability of the pelvis and spine: New insights in force closure and the consequences for rehabilitation
Siegfried Mense: The thoracolumbar fascia as a source of low back pain
Robert Schleip: Tearing and micro injuries of lumbar fasciae as potential pain generators
Helene Langevin: Ultrasound imaging of connective tissue pathology associated with chronic low back pain
Jean Claude Guimberteau: Journey under the skin to the muscles, lumbar fasciae and structural architectures
Jay Shah: Ultrasound techniques reveal objective abnormalities of myofascial trigger points and surrounding connective tissue
Leon Chaitow: Fascia directed therapies for the treatment of low back pain: review and new directions
Paolo Tozzi: Evidence-based correlation between low back pain and reduction of renal mobility, assessed by Dynamic Ultrasound Topographic Anatomy Evaluation (D.U.S.T.A.-E.): local kidney manipulation improves kidney mobility and decreases pain perception
Adjo Zorn: Walking with elastic fascia: saving energy by maintaining balance
Paul Hodges: Strategies for motor control of the spine and changes in pain: the deep vs. superficial muscle debate
The program will be presented in the format of three main sessions led by moderators and keynote speakers who are known for their expertise in selected areas. This will be followed by five parallel sessions that highlight topic specific research. Seven primary subject areas will address the dominant theme which includes movement stability in lumbopelvic pain, pelvic girdle pain (diagnostics, risk factors and motor control), cognitive aspects of treatment, evidence based practice for low back pain along with diagnosis and treatment, connective tissue and the role of fascia, surgical management and sports medicine and exercise.
Weekend workshops will share clinician experience in the management of lumbopelvic pain. Open poster presentation will illustrate the worldwide research of new and innovative ideas in the field.
