Reconciling Biomechanics With Pain Science June 13 - 14th 2026
with Greg Lehman
- June 13-14th, 2026
- at R2P - Gambrills
At its simplest, this is a BIOMECHANICS and PAIN SCIENCE course. Ideally, we've distilled the best of both to get the best approach to pain and injury management.
Reconciling Biomechanics with Pain Science is a two-day course that mixes a lecture, case study and hands-on learning format. This course has been taught throughout the world with the aim of simplifying the biomechanical approach to injury and pain management. A simplified, yet strongly evidenced based biomechanical approach, allows the therapist to develop skills that address all areas of the biopsychosocial contributors to the pain experience.
This course teaches When Biomechanics Matters along with Therapeutic Neuroscience Education in a Biopsychosocial framework.
Traditional rehabilitation practice is steeped in the biomedical model of treating pain and injuries. While the biopyschosocial model of care is touted as being the superior approach it is often difficult to incorporate traditional biomechanical training within this model. There is the fear that therapists become psychotherapists. The aim of this course is to help reconcile and reconceptualize the biomechanical approach. You will learn that you need not throw the baby out with the bath water when you embrace the biopsychosocial (BPS) approach. Remember, the BPS model starts with "Bio": you will learn how biomechanics matters and how pain science education and cognition changing can fit together.

Athletic Low Back Pain: November 7-8, 2026
with Rehab Renaissance
- November 7-8, 2026
- at R2P - Reston
Athletic Low Back Pain: A Principles Based Approach to Conservative Management & Return-to-Sport
As a sports clinician, you’ve seen it before athletes stuck in a cycle of low back pain, temporary relief, and frustrating setbacks. Traditional rehab protocols don’t account for the unique demands of sport, leaving athletes underprepared for the forces, speed, and intensity of competition.
This hands-on, 2-day in-person course gives you a proven system to bridge the gap between rehab and full return to performance. Designed for PTs, PTAs, ATs, Strength & Conditioning Professionals, and other rehab providers, this course delivers practical, evidence-based strategies so you can confidently get your athletes back in the game.
What You’ll Learn:
- Phase-based rehab progressions – take athletes from pain to performance with a structured approach
- Sport-specific exercise frameworks – no more generic rehab; use training methods built for athletic performance
- A return-to-sport test battery – objective criteria to ensure your athlete is truly prepared
Earn CEUs:
- 1.5 CEUs (15 hrs) – ACEND-approved for PTs & PTAs (ACE2667-01)

We’ll update you on the biomechanics of running and how conceptual models of running have changed over the years. You’ll also learn a comprehensive gait assessment and how to incorporate functional movement assessments into your treatment plan. Treatment techniques include MFR, MET and mobilizations of the lower quarter as well as exercise progressions for runners at any level. At the completion of this course, you’ll be able to treat most any running injury diagnosis with confidence, and apply what you learn to create customized training programs to fit your patients’ goals!

with Global Specialist Physiotherapy
- January 16-17, 2027
- at R2P - Reston
Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) injuries are an extremely common and costly injury in general and sporting populations. Almost routinely, patients are offered surgery to return to high-level activity and pivoting sports. This concept, as well as the dire view of a patient or athlete who has suffered an ACL tear has been widely propagated in mass media, and has affected populations both amateur and professional. Current best research challenges these ingrained paradigms.
These courses, taught by Dr Kieran Richardson (FACP), will give clinicians the confidence to assess for and develop a comprehensive non-surgical management program for a patient presenting post ACL injury.

BRIDGING THE GAP BETWEEN ANATOMY & TREATMENT
with Great Lakes Seminars
- August 16-17, 2025
- at R2P - Gambrills
Most PT school programs only teach the actions of muscles. This course covers each muscle’s function and how to use anatomy to quickly find the driver of your patients’ dysfunction. You’ll learn how to palpate muscles to fix hypertonicity, weakness and inhibition so those dysfunctions don’t return, as well as evidence-based treatment for tendinosis and the functional retraining of muscles. All these techniques will enable you to direct your patients to a speedy and more successful recovery.
As with all our manual therapy courses, this course is at least 75% hands-on lab, and will give you skills you can use immediately upon returning to the clinic! Participants should have a basic knowledge of anatomy as this is an applied anatomy course.
