Hong Kong Spinal Course

February 4, 2012 by Chris McCarthy

The first annual Hong Kong Spinal Course was held from the 13th to the 18th of October 2011. Nineteen delegates undertook the course with the winner of the 2011 Combined Movements Cup being Jenny Chan, from the Perfect Pointe Physiotherapy Practice. The course was run at Kerry Fung’s excellent teaching practice rooms and was organised by Colin Symmonds (The Body Group). A good time was had by all, especially the tutor, and next year’s course should be equally challenging but enjoyable. A big thanks to the organisers for an excellent course. See you in 2012

WCPT Presentation: How relevant is the muscle twitch with manipulation?

June 9, 2011 by Chris McCarthy

Recent work by an Osteopathic PhD student of mine (Dr Louise Potter) has shown that whilst the local, deep musculature twitches in response to manipulation it is not relevant to pain changes and is no different to the twich generated by a sham manipulation. So, the theory that spinal manipulation “reboots” the whole system looks a bit unlikely.

Welcome to the new Combined Movements Theory website

October 19, 2010 by admin Leave a Comment

Welcome to the new Combined Movements Theory website.  I thought that it was about time to update the site, add a blog and make everything easier to use.  With the help of Rachael Lowe from Webducate we have combined forces to bring the best of my old site over to a new site that compliments my recently published book.  I hope that you like the changes and please let me know if you have any feedback.
