Unfortunately, many reach adulthood with adverse musculoskeletal consequences of survival such as spinal deformities (thoracic kyphosis, scoliosis, tightness) and rib cage restrictions (pectus deformities, rib flares, asymmetry, tightness), which in turn, limit shoulder, trunk, and hip/ pelvis mobility. Repetitive stresses due to atypical movements/compensations predispose these children to the development of chronic pain conditions. This 3-day course will look specifically at why these limitations tend to occur and what can be done to minimize their development. The goal is to improve therapists knowledge and confidence in using musculoskeletal techniques that affect both quality, and potentially quantity of life. Participants will spend most of the course in lab. The focus will be on the rib cage, trunk, and spine.

General Information Objectives At the conclusion of the activity, learners will be better able to: Screen for musculoskeletal abnormalities, inadequate core stabilization strategies and compensatory breathing patterns that may contribute to the abnormal development of the rib cage, trunk, and/or spine across the lifespan secondary to pediatric chronic health conditions and/or survival of prematurity. Demonstrate musculoskeletal mobilization and soft tissue techniques to correct or minimize these deformities with a focus on the rib cage and spine. Develop subsequent treatment plans for neuromuscular retraining that is focused on simultaneously optimizing breathing, core stabilization and postural development across the lifespan in order to minimize long term postural impairments that develop secondary to these chronic conditions.

Speaker Mary Massery, P.T., D.P.T., D.Sc. Dr. Massery received her BS in Physical Therapy from Northwestern University in 1977, her DPT from the University of the Pacific in 2004 and her DSc from Rocky Mountain University in 2011. Her publications and interests focus on linking motor behaviors to breathing and/or postural mechanics in both pediatric and adult patient populations. Dr. Massery has been invited to give over 800 professional presentations in 49 US states, 9 Canadian provinces, and 15 countries worldwide, including more than 100 presentations for the American Physical Therapy Association, and a full-day post-conference program at the World Congress of Physical Therapy in Singapore. Mary has delivered keynote and major addresses on topics such as cystic fibrosis and posture, neuropulmonary deficits, pectus excavatum (chest deformities), and connections between posture & breathing. Mary has received national awards from the APTA, including its highest clinical award, The Florence Kendall Practice Award, honoring one s outstanding and enduring contributions to the practice of physical therapy. She has been honored as Outstanding Alumnus of the Year by each of her 3 alma maters. And in 2016, she was awarded Northwestern University s Alumnae Research Achievement Award. Mary continues to maintain a private practice in Chicago, specializing in breathing and postural dysfunction.
