Ortho Physio:
- Rehab movement in people that cannot learn
- Improve body image
- Use them in place of other techniques (e.g. muscle energy techniques) to help movement and motor control
- Use to treat central pain
Neurophysio:
- Improve tone
- Improve normal movement
- Treat unilateral neglect and Thalamic Pain
- Improve gait by treating Babinski and Foot Tendon Guard reflexes
- Improve upper limb function by treating the Grasp Reflex
- Rehab Neurodevelopmental Disorders
- Treat certain Specific Learning Disorders
Pelvic Floor Physio:
- Improve motor control around the pelvis
- Quickly change asymmetries in the pelvic floor
- Stimulate the vestibular system and treat central and peripheral vestibular disorders
Clinical examples will be covered to illustrate how PR can be used to improve many common clinical presentations.
Already Familiar with Primitive Reflexes?
Our original research has changed our treatment of PR to make it more functional and faster.

Facilitator
Sean Gibbons graduated from Manchester University in
1995. He shares his time between clinical practice, teaching and research. He
has been rehabilitating movement for his whole career and has closely looked at
the underlying mechanisms as to why movement is altered. Primitive reflexes
(PR) play an important role in this. He has identified new PR, and researched
and developed clinically relevant interventions. His PhD was on the development
of a prescriptive clinical prediction rule for specific motor control exercises
in low back pain. Key new sub-classifications were identified: neurocognitive,
sensory motor function which is related to extremely poor movement and the
ability to learn; body image pain and neuroimmune-endocrine
dys-regulation. His current work aims to
further validate the sub-classification model. He has presented his research at
national and international conferences and has several journal publications and
book chapters on related topics. He is an associate researcher at MUN and is
part of the teaching faculty at McMaster's Advanced Orthopaedic Musculoskeletal/Manipulative Physiotherapy

“I can't recommend Sean Gibbons and Smarterehab courses enough. I have found the sub-classification system to be easy to use and revolutionary in removing a lot of the guesswork in my patient management. The courses have been transformative in my practice in that it has wide applicability across a spectrum of conditions that would normally constitute ‘difficult’ patients. I can't recommend these courses highly enough! Chris Barber MCSP BSc (Hons) Musculoskeletal & Sports Physiotherapist, Director: Advanced Physiotherapy Centres Ltd.
As a clinic owner and have seen a trend in Canadian physiotherapy towards spinal manipulation and needling techniques. While these techniques are valuable, the transformative learning that takes place in a SmarteRehab course is the direction I am dedicated to bringing our profession. As Physiotherapists, if we wish to distinguish ourselves from chiropractors, massage therapists, athletic therapists, osteopaths etc., we need to move away from technique based therapy. Sean is masterful at explaining the complex relationship between Central Sensitization, Central Pain, Sensori-Motor Function and how it relates to Motor Control dysfunction and pain. No other approach I have seen, heard of, or even read about does such a complete job of integrating neurological rehabilitation techniques and treatment. I now have junior therapists who are able to reason their way through the most complex of chronic pain cases and can formulate treatment plans that are effective and get results. Most importantly they can explain to these patients the nature of their problem in a way that they can understand. It is so rewarding to see patients, empowered with this knowledge, resolve problems that have sometimes existed for decades. Equally as rewarding is watching a junior Physio quickly solve by identifying the underlying movement dysfunction and easily explaining it’s cause. Thank you for what you have done and continue to do for our Profession. Dave Holmes Owner and Physiotherapist at Tower Physiotherapy & Sports Medicine
If you find yourself stuck and frustrated with chronic, generalized, weird pain patients who don't respond to usual treatments, this is what this course is all about. Sean's courses are truly unique and bring practical, guidelines that are untouched by other institutions. Jean-Michel Cormier, Physiotherapist Max Health Institute, Shediac, NB, Canada
The courses that I have taken with Sean have completely changed my pelvic floor practice and the way I practice as a physical therapist! Sean's courses are a must in order to help a variety of clientele and especially those who do not respond to conventional treatments! He has researched and developed new techniques that are essential for pelvic floor therapists. Erica Lafontant, pht, B. Sc, M.Sc.A Rééducation périnéale et . Action Physio. Ville Mont-Royal, QC,
