Clinician testimonials

ITS have provided a training and consultancy service to support the Occupational Health Team deliver on its Health and Wellbeing Strategy. This strategy includes a focus on rehabilitation, injury prevention and maximising performance for employees in various job roles and capabilities.
We initially developed a programme using the techniques and principles of biomechanical screening to assess back and neck problems, these being a significant cause of absence. The Occupational Health Advisors (OHA) were trained and able to embed the biomechanic principles into the assessment framework for managing employees from self and managerial referrals into the department. The results identified a significant improvement for most clients with regard to the self-management of their symptoms with a decrease in the subsequent year’s absence and a prompt return to work to either the same or more active duties. Overall clients reported they felt they understood more about their condition, which enabled effective management, reduction or resolution in symptoms and an increase in confidence in their general health. The positive impact of the biomechanics intervention was seen at both the physical and psychological level.
Last year ITS provided further training to both the OHA team and members of the police physical training team who then successfully qualified with a diploma in the techniques and principles of biomechanics. We are now using the biomechanic assessment and techniques to assist employees with a wide range of musculoskeletal problems. The clients again report an improved confidence in their ability to self-manage, a significant reduction in symptoms, reoccurrence of the problem and a return to activity once considered problematic.
The training and on-going support we receive from ITS has greatly supported the OH team to embed the principles in many aspects of core OH work. The ITS training ensures practitioners develop a significant knowledge base through a practical evidence based model and therefore increased confidence for the OH practitioners to implement a proactive service, and importantly, deliver effective and measurable results.
ITS training in biomechanical screening was enjoyable, practical and very professionally delivered. It has become an invaluable aspect of the assessment, health promotion and health screening work we undertake. The professional scope of the OH service has improved, as are the benefits to our clients.

In November 2009, we underwent education as an organization via Intelligent Training Systems’ Diploma in Biomechanics Coaching. The intention was to bring practitioners to a common level of biomechanical knowledge, which was achieved through excellent delivery of course content and ample hands-on experience. The education of delegates on the course has enabled them to screen, interpret data and prescribe relevant exercises.

In addition, I can confirm that I am fully aware of the content of the Level 4 Biomechanical Assessment and Management of Low Back Pain course that has been designed by Intelligent Training Systems. The biomechanical analysis used has been proven to improve low back pain in clinical studies and is a combination of the latest research in to low back pain management and exercise prescription.

I would have no hesitation in recommending training with ITS and we look forward to putting the education into practice during the 2010 season.

Dear Jo
The Diploma course has really been a paradigm shift for me as a physio, in a very positive way. I have really enjoyed the whole course and can not thank you and the whole team enough.
Some feedback clinically. I have had some great results with 2 patients with chronic low back pain. They have had the kitchen sink (not literally) thrown at their back pain. For each, the normalise screen and 5 prioritised exercises have reduced their back pain by 60%!! Early days yet, but I will have a large enough cohort of patients (within 3 months) to start doing some clinical audit, very exciting!!
Many thanks,

“I have found the tests and the exercise prescription taught on the courses very helpful towards my back treatment and rehabilitation outcomes for my personal training clients and my patients”.

As a result of the ITS diploma I continue to have great results with my
chiropractic clients especially those who have made the lying leg press
their first exercise of the day, every day - reduced pain, increased
mobility, in many cases back to the gym and playing sports etc. I would say
recovery times (number of chiro sessions needed) have reduced by up to half.
Bad for business? Not at all - I am having more referrals than ever. You can
quote me to anyone and anywhere you like.

Thanks for all your help and inspiration.

Best Regards, Pete
