The Boot Camp Programs are 6-week self-management training programs implemented by clinicians. The programs provide education, specific exercises, postural instruction and self-management strategies for spine and other musculoskeletal disorders. The programs use a cognitive behavioural approach with a focus on improving functional status. We have developed patient workbooks and educational videos that include instruction on specific exercises both physical and psychosocial. We also have training videos for clinicians demonstrating specific manual therapy techniques and how to implement the various boot camp programs into routine clinical care.
LUMBAR SPINAL STENOSIS
Treatment Protocol Video - For Clinicians
The Lumbar Spinal Stenosis Treatment Protocol Video provides instructions for clinicians on how to implement the manual therapy component of the Boot Camp Program for Lumbar Spinal
Stenosis. It is designed for practitioners trained in manual therapy. The video provides instruction on how to incorporate all components of the program into routine clinical care. It provides step-by-step instruction and rationale for specific manual therapy techniques and exercises aimed to improve mobility of the lumbar spine and spinal nerves with the goal to reduce symptoms and
improve walking ability. Manual therapy is aimed to complement self-directed exercises and patient education.
Patient Workbook and Patient Instructional Video - You provide this to your patients
The patient workbook provides information on spinal stenosis and step-by-step instruction on how to perform specific exercises and body re-alignment techniques. This patient workbook is essential and guides both patient and clinician through each visit of the six-week program. The workbook instruction on specific exercises and self-management strategies are directed to the structural and biomechanical factors that impact standing, walking and functional abilities in lumbar spinal stenosis. A patient instructional video provides educational information and demonstrates step-by-step all the specific exercises, body re-alignment techniques and self-management strategies. A pedometer is recommended to accompany the patient workbook. The pedometer provides a means to track improvements in walking ability.
