About Course

The ability to time, phase and pace rehabilitation is a key skill for any MSK or orthopaedic physiotherapist. Making the correct decisions on when to progress rehab, what timeframes of healing to adhere to, as well as what functional requirements to emphasise is key to fully restoring function in your patients.

In this 5-hour online course, the phasing and pacing of rehabilitation will be outlined and described in great detail, using underlying theoretical models and practical case-based examples.

Course outline:

Module 1: An Introduction to the Phasing and Pacing of Rehabilitation

  • What guides the pacing of rehabilitation?
  • What happens when injury occurs at a tissue level?
  • What happens when injury occurs at a functional level?
  • Why the need to pace and phase rehabilitation?
  • The general rehab emphasis by phase
  • A brief summary of how to phase and pace rehabilitation

Module 2: Phasing and Pacing of Rehabilitation for Acute Injury

  • Mild acute injury: tissue and functional consequence; pacing timeframes; phasing guidelines
  • Moderate acute injury: tissue and functional consequence; pacing timeframes; phasing guidelines
  • Severe acute injury: tissue and functional consequence; pacing timeframes; phasing guidelines
  • Practical case-study example

Module 3: Phasing and Pacing of Rehabilitation for Overuse Injury

  • Overuse injury: tissue and functional consequence; pacing timeframes; phasing guidelines
  • Practical case-study example

Module 4: A Comparison between Acute and Overuse Injury

  • Acute vs Overuse Injury: tissue and functional consequence; pacing timeframes; phasing guidelines

Module 5: Putting the Theory into Practice

  • Practical case study examples

Course Introduction and Welcome
An introduction from course presenter, Brett Phillips, and a brief outline of this online course on the Phasing and Pacing of Rehabilitation.

  • Course Introduction and Outline
    01:55

Module 1: An Introduction to the Phasing and Pacing of Rehabilitation
In this module, the concept of rehabilitation phasing and pacing will be introduced. The underlying theory on what guides this phasing and pacing process will be addressed.

Module 2: Phasing and Pacing of Rehabilitation for Acute Injury
In this module, the underlying theory and methods for pacing and phasing rehabilitation for acute injuries will be outlined. Practical application will be utilised to show case-based examples of how to implement this theory in practice.

Module 3: Phasing and Pacing of Rehabilitation for Overuse Injury
In this module, the underlying theory and methods for pacing and phasing rehabilitation for overuse injuries will be outlined. Practical application will be utilised to show case-based examples of how to implement this theory in practice

Module 4: A Comparison between Acute and Overuse Injury
In this module, the concepts of pacing and phasing rehabilitation for acute injuries will be contrasted against those for overuse injury rehabilitation. Comparisons will be made and differences outlined.

Module 5: Putting the Theory into Practice
In this module, you will have the opportunity to put the theory encountered during Modules 1-4 into practice, in the form of applied case-based practical examples.
