IMTR Grand Rounds

Dr. Bill has been having some shoulder pain lately and finally got around to having Robert treat him...listen in to hear their rationale for effectively assessing and treating shoulder pain.

Listen in as Robert Lardner and Dr. Bill Tortoriello continue their conversation reinterpreting and updating the fundamental DNS concept of joint centration.

Listen to Robert Lardner and Dr. Bill Tortoriello discuss their new interpretation of the DNS concept of functional joint centration, and how their perspective leads to a rational assessment and treatment.

Listen as Robert Lardner and Dr. Bill Tortoriello continue their conversation from last week regarding the importanc of the systems-based examination.

Listen this week as Robert Lardner and Dr. Bill Tortoriello discuss the utility of screening a variety of system signs when assessing musculoskeletal complaints.

Join Robert Lardner and Dr. Bill Tortoriello as they discuss how over their decades of clinical experience, while knowing a variety of techniques are essential, they have both come to realize that physical examination and assessment is of utmost importance in the treatment of musculoskeletal conditions.

Listen to Robert Lardner and Dr. Bill Tortoriello discuss how they integrate a variety of systems into a rational physical examination and assessment for effective treatment.

Listen as Robert Lardner and Dr. Bill Tortoriello discuss new perspectives on the utility of what DNS considers "transitional" movements, or the dynamic movement from one static posture or position to another.

This week features Dr. Bill introducing the DNS approach to pediatrics, where he outlines what is entailed in the physical examination of the infant using the DNS neurodevelopmental perspective.

This week Robert Lardner and Dr. Bill Tortoriello expand on their perspective on primary, proximal stability of the spine and pelvis to discuss how that approach impacts functional movements, end range of motion, and joint centration.

In this episode, Robert Lardner and Dr. Bill Tortoriello discuss the DNS approach to primary, sagittal plane stabilization, which is based on the model of human motor development. Topics such as intra-abdominal pressure, bracing, and diaphragm function will also be described.

This week Robert Lardner and Dr. Bill Tortoriello talk about their perspective on integrating a variety of approaches, as well as their own clinical experiences to assemble an effective, rational, and consistent physical examination procedure.

Listen as Robert Lardner and Dr. Bill Tortoriello discuss how they approach fundamental movement and stabilization patterns, and how these serve as an objective framework for rehabilitation and primary assessment.

Listen as Robert Lardner and Dr. Bill Tortoriello discuss the differentiation of muscle function, how that is dependent on posture, and how that impacts coordination and stability.

Join Robert Lardner and Dr. Bill Tortoriello as they describe what they mean by "ideal" patterns of movement and posture. Topics such as Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilization (DNS), integrative assessment, intra-abdominal pressure, and diaphragmatic breathing are also discussed.
