Within this model a ‘cognitive functional therapy’ for the management of disorders with a classification of motor control impairment will be outlined. This approach consists of both physical as well as cognitive components with the aim to change provocative abnormal movement behaviours that provoke and maintain pain.

This workshop draws together current knowledge as well as Peter’s ongoing clinical work and research investigating the classification and management of chronic low back pain disorders. The workshop is dynamic, interactive and practical. It includes patient demonstrations, clinical reasoning and equips physiotherapists to develop skills in diagnostics as well as the design of motor learning interventions for specific disorders.
