Clinics in Motion was established in 2004 to create a new resource for the teaching and continuous professional development of physiotherapists worldwide. The company has pioneered some innovations in filming technology to bring physiotherapy to life as never seen before.

Clinics in Motion has worked closely with some of the leading schools of Physiotherapy globally to produce the first series of DVD based training for physiotherapists.

The company has been founded on the philosophy that our publication is produced for physiotherapists by physiotherapists. Our content is driven by our internationally experienced advisory board and is undertaken by experienced teachers of physiotherapy

The following modules are currently available:

Series Two Now Available

The Lumbar Spine Series 1 Volume 1

 

The Lumbar Spine double DVD is a detailed, fundamental guide to examination and treatment of the neuromusculoskeletal system and the structures involved in this anatomical area. This interactive DVD follows a clear pattern initially looking at the anatomy of the area, followed by detailed sections on observations, the most commonly used examination techniques, screening other structures, treatment progressions and exercise therapy. The emphasis of this DVD is on developing the viewer’s manual skills and to provide a reference of all the commonly used examination and treatment techniques.

 

The DVD also includes detailed case studies to assist the development of clinical reasoning skills, expert ‘Top Tips’ study notes and detailed radiology of the Lumbar Spine. The content has been developed using an international Consensus Development System© and contains input from senior lecturers from over 20 international recognized universities from Europe and North America.

 

This double DVD contains over 8 hours of material, is filmed using Multi-Angle Vision© and comes with a complete interactive workbook and online examination system to provide the reader with the complete e-learning solution for their ongoing professional development.

 

The DVD is designed for use by anyone requiring to identify and assess clinical problems in this area, whether student or clinician. The DVD is also designed as a resource of ongoing professional development for all suitably qualified clinicians.

The Elbow, Wrist and Hand Series 1 Volume 6

 

 

The Elbow, Wrist and Hand double DVD is a detailed, fundamental guide to examination and treatment of the neuromusculoskeletal system and the structures involved in this anatomical area. This interactive DVD follows a clear pattern initially looking at the anatomy of the area, followed by detailed sections on observations, the most commonly used examination techniques, screening other structures, treatment progressions and exercise therapy. The emphasis of this DVD is on developing the viewer’s manual skills and to provide a reference of all the commonly used examination and treatment techniques.

 

The DVD also includes detailed case studies to assist the development of clinical reasoning skills, expert ‘Top Tips’ study notes and detailed radiology of the Elbow, Wrist and Hand. The content has been developed using an international Consensus Development System© and contains input from senior lecturers from over 20 international recognized universities from Europe and North America.

 

This double DVD contains over 8 hours of material, is filmed using Multi-Angle Vision© and comes with a complete interactive workbook and online examination system to provide the reader with the complete e-learning solution for their ongoing professional development.

 

The DVD is designed for use by anyone requiring to identify and assess clinical problems in this area, whether student or clinician. The DVD is also designed as a resource of ongoing professional development for all suitably qualified clinicians.
