Dr. Puah Ken Lee is an orthopaedic surgeon sub-specialising in shoulder and elbow conditions and sports injuries. With extensive experience in minimally invasive techniques, he has a particular focus on elbow arthroscopy for diagnosing and treating complex elbow disorders. Dr. Puah is committed to advancing patient care through collaboration with physiotherapists, optimizing recovery, and improving functional outcomes. In this session, he will share insights into common elbow conditions and the evolving role of arthroscopy in treatment.
Look at it this way. When you head to the hospital for shooting arm pain, the immediate course of action is to check your heart, not your arm. The symptoms down your arm are just a result of a problem elsewhere in the body. Similarly, the SFMA focuses on underlying dysfunctional movement to find the cause of pain, not just the source. This concept is better known as regional interdependence – how seemingly unrelated problems are actually driving the dysfunction.
What makes SFMA unique? We are the first organized system that takes into account altered motor control – the inability to coordinate proper movements. This system allows us to identify the correct problems – mobility versus motor control – to best equip clinicians for a successful outcome.
There are many great mobility treatment systems, but in the SFMA, we introduce you to our methodology on reprogramming motor control. We use the neurodevelopmental perspective – the way we learn to move as infants – to create a system to reteach our brains how to communicate with our bodies.
When you leave this course, you will be armed with a repeatable diagnostic system to apply the manual techniques already in your toolbox, as well as now add a motor control component tool. The primary focus of Level 1 is to empower participants to not only gain experience with the assessment, but also to develop confidence to successfully integrate the system into their clinical practice.
Who should attend: Physiotherapists, Osteopaths, Chiropractors, Rehabilitation Therapists (with relevant professional degrees), Medical Doctors and Physiotherapy Students.
