Animated instructional videos


To facilitate patient learning, Cognitive Muscular TherapyTM incorporates the use of animated instructional videos to explain concepts related to pain and biomechanical theory and also guide home practice. These videos are provided via an online learning platform which allows the patient to review information provided in each of the clinical sessions. The videos vary in length from 1-3 minutes and always finish with a statement of the learning outcome. Some examples of these instructional videos are provided below.

Example video 1: The biomechanical effect of short hip flexor muscles

Example video 2: Making sense of pain with an explanation of co-contraction

Example video 3: Altered breathing patterns with increased abdominal tone
