Ridgway Method Training

[kiwiabroad]

Hi I am a physio currently looking at jobs. One I found interesting offered training in the ridgeway method. I had a small look into this but wondering if people have experianced it and what there thoughts are. As a recent graduate I am looking for a clinic that will give me good support.
Thanks

The ridgeway method is an effective technique that helps objectively treat conditions with maximum effectiveness and efficiency. it is based on using treatment direction tests that are an advanced application of the mulligan techniques and also uses muscle release with movement and muscle activation with movement and behavioural modification with movement. It is based on the premise that most musculoskelteal conditions are caused by neurophysiological mechanisms that have been altered due to noxious stimuli. treatement is based on removing the noxious stimuli to allow recovery of a condition.

Good summary Mullberry. Probably best to add developed by Michael Ridgway a Brisbane Physio. One of the main distinctions from normal PT is that it uses s problem solving method based on clinical tests (eg MobeWithMovement) rather than clinical reasoning to decide on a treatment. Its a fair paradigm shift for most so my prediction is that it will get a bit discussion in the next few years. If you have the opportunity go watch Michael or and RM PT treat. Otherwise watch this space.
