Janda Approach Seminars

This hands-on course introduces the teachings of the late Professor Vladimir Janda MD. Janda was a pioneer in muscle imbalances and chronic musculoskeletal pain. He identified specific clinical “crossed syndromes” of muscular imbalance, focusing more on global function than isolated structures. This workshop will describe the scientific basis for Janda’s approach, as well as a systematic evaluation and treatment of functional pathology. An evidence-based approach to the conservative management of common musculoskeletal conditions will be presented for upper and lower quarter muscle imbalance syndromes.

Course Objectives

Upon successful completion of this course, participants will be able to:

• Determine the role of the sensorimotor system, chain reactions, and muscle balance in chronic pain syndromes
• List the components of functional assessment for chronic pain, including posture, gait, and movement patterns
• Indicate specific intervention techniques for chronic pain syndromes
• Identify management strategies for muscle imbalance syndromes
• Demonstrate systematic assessments of functional pathologies
• Provide current evidence to support the Janda approach
