Treating Acute Low Back Pain Course
Ever struggled to treat a low back patient?
I bet you have! I certainly did and when I first graduated low backs were a torment to me. I worked in a rural community, and it was farmer after farmer and they all had back issues!
"No Doc, I can't take time off! Just fix me and get me back into work"
I'm not joking ever single one had a back problem and I struggled, boy did I struggle.
My first year in practice was pretty awful and every single work day I literally had to drag myself out of bed and force myself to go into clinic.
Adios Tormentville
6 months into my first year I changed my approach, I figured I'd try something new 'cos as as an osteopath I was going nowhere fast. Now there wasn't a miracle moment, no flash of lightning! But there was definitely change.
I started experimenting with what felt right when I put my hands on the patient. What could I feel in their system and what were my hands telling me?
The "Cleardown Framework"
That year formed the ground work for the development of the "Cleardown Method" that you will learn in this course
Of course it then took 12 more years of working with low back patients to fully develop it, and a further 2 years teaching it to osteopaths before it was ready for release within this training program.
"I completely changed the way I treated low backs after learning from Jonathan. I honestly always felt slight terror and sweat come on when those serious acute low back patients came in! Now I get excited as I know how much I can help them"

What you've been taught is good, but ...
What you've been taught about examining and treating back pain is good, so we certainly won't be throwing that out, but a large amount of it can't be used or has to be greatly modified when a patient is in acute pain.
Because high levels of pain mean you can't move your patient around.
So that's why this training is different as it will show you:
- How to examine accurately with the minimum movement.
- What the best positions are for treating acute pain.
- How to transition patients into those positions.
- How to get them off the bench!
- How and when to do interim exams so you can gauge progress and adjust if needed.
- What neurological testing is important for these patients and what isn't
- How to modify orthopaedic tests so they don't 'blow out' your patients pain levels
- How to accurately perform all neurological testing on an acute pt in under 5 minutes
- How to complete a Supine Cleardown Treatment
- How to complete a Prone Cleardown Treatment
- How to use the cleardown to create 'slack' so you can use your normal 'go to' techniques
- How to use the cleardown to accurately diagnosis what you need to treat next
Yes treat them Prone, it's really effective when you know how!
A Clear Framework
Most importantly this is all presented within a step by step Framework so that is easy for you to follow and really easy for you to replicate in clinic.
And it's a framework that can be adapted so that is never restricts you as a practitoner - in fact it is designed so that it will help you grow and develop your unique way of implementing this work.
What's the fastest way to build a busy list?
Word of mouth - I have built three clinics from scratch off the back of the skills taught in this course.
That not only meant I had a full list but it also reduced my advertising spend to zero. And unlike ad spend that needs repeating every month word of mouth lasts for years.
In fact you can have patients who haven't seen you for years still refer people in. Do a great job with someone's back and they remember you for life!
"I think the acute low back pain course is genius ... now I'm confident about how I'm going to approach the treatment and get my patients back off the couch."

"Jonathan's natural talent and passion for teaching is infectious these courses have really given me the courage and the confidence to to develop my own skill set in this field. These courses have a beautiful way of allowing you to explore the concepts presented, but in a way that is very relevant to your own particular way of treating and practicing. Thanks Jonathan for shining a light on my own Osteopathic journey with the guidance of your years of experience, exploration and insight."
Dr. Rebecca Marks
Osteopath, New Zealand
"In a world where clinical integrity and competence is of utmost importance, so much of our education and its inevitable linear approach strips our patients and ourselves of the ‘holistic’ philosophy and relevant healing experiences that I believe we are all essentially looking for. Jonathan has managed to create a learning tool whereby this gap has been bridged. There is nothing you could want out of professional development that is not here"."
Dr. Bronwyn McHugh
Osteopath, Australia
