Sixth Annual SED Mini-CSM 2018 

The Southeast District (SED) Combined Sections Meeting (CSM) is modeled after the APTA CSM and is designed to be an affordable and valuable learning opportunity where you can see old friends, make new ones, learn, get inspired, earn CEUs, network, and visit our exhibit hall. 

 We have added additional programming this year, for a total of six morning and afternoon sessions...Six tracks of education to help us celebrate our Sixth Anniversary!

We have been able to keep our registration fees low as the discounted CEUs are a member benefit provided by the Southeast District! Proceeds from the event will be donated to the Pennsylvania Physical Therapy Association (PPTA) to help in their mission for serving the physical therapy profession. Non-members are welcome and encouraged to attend. Attendees will be able to sign-up on site for APTA/PPTA membership and immediately receive the discounted registration rate.

 This event is open to physical therapists, physical therapist assistants and students studying to become physical therapists and physical therapist assistants. CEUs are approved for PA and will be applied for approval for Delaware.

Please note: Two educational tracks offer both a morning lecture and afternoon lab component (PNF and Foot and Ankle sessions). While the morning lecture portion is open to all, the afternoon lab session will be limited to 40 participants. In order to attend the lab session, the morning lecture is a required component.

UPDATE: PLEASE NOTE BOTH AFTERNOON LABS HAV REACHED CAPACITY AND ARE NO LONGER AVAILABLE.

Course Description: Pain is a ubiquitous aspect of the human experience and it plays an important protective role in safety and survival. However, when pain persists, its function and physiology become altered. Understanding pain neuroscience is important for the rehab professional as well as for the individual experiencing persistent pain. This lecture, geared toward the novice clinician and student physical therapist, explores our current understanding of chronic pain neuroscience, assessment, and treatment approaches. Special attention is paid to pain neuroscience education as an intervention.
