General SessionWe are pleased to feature Mary Massery, PT, DPT,

DSc as our Keynote Speaker for our General Sessions on Saturday, April 6, 2019:

8:15am-11:15am Keynote Speaker: Mary Massery , PT, DPT, DSc

Dr. Mary Massery received her BS in Physical Ther-apy from Northwestern University in 1977, her DPT from the University of the Pacific in 2004, and her DSc from Rocky Mountain University in 2011. Her publications and her interests focus on link-ing motor behaviors to breathing and/or postural mechanics in both pediatric and adult patient popu-lations. Dr. Massery has been invited to give over 800 professional presentations in 49 states, 9 Canadian provinces, and 13 countries worldwide. Mary’s DSc research was conducted under the guidance of world renowned PT researcher, Dr. Paul Hodges, (Director of NHMRC Centre from Clinical Re-search at the University of Queensland in Brisbane, Australia), as well as Dr. Victoria Moerchen (University of Wisconsin, Milwaukee, WI) and Dr. Marshall Hagins (Long Island University, NY, NY). The aim of Mary’s re-search was to establish a link between the glottis (up-per airway) and postural stability (balance) and was published in the Journal of Applied Physiology. Clinically, Mary is known for her multi-system ap-proach to analyzing motor dysfunction; recognizing the interactions between the cardiovascular-pulmo-nary, musculoskeletal, neuromuscular, integumen-tary and internal organ systems, and determining which system is the primary deterrent to optimal mo-tor function and which system is likely a consequence of those interactions. This is the primary message of her continuing education courses. Dr. Massery has received the American Physi-cal Therapy Association’s highest clinical award, The Florence Kendall Practice Award, honoring one’s “out-standing and enduring contributions to the practice of physical therapy” and the honorary Linda Crane Memorial Lecture.

Breakout Sessions and Specialty TracksMary Massery's Breakout Session:LINKED BY PRESSURE: Breathing and Posture”Course Description: Generation and modulation and intra-thoracic and intra-abdominal pressures link breathing mechanics to posture. Using her novel research and the “Soda-Pop Can” postural control model, Dr. Massery will push this connection further, demonstrating the link between glottal control, breathing, upright postural stability, spinal alignment, limb force production, gastrointestinal function, circulation, and pelvic health. Amazing connections, and they all relate to the diaphragm! Mary is a pediatric therapist, but she will apply these concepts across the lifespan and across pathologies. Everybody breathes!

Course Description: We are fundamentally “collagen therapists”. Patients come to us with complaints of some type of collagen tissue damage. Part of the trouble is the patients complaints are variable, often vague, and mixed with emotional content. Our task is to figure out which piece of collagen, and where, then initiate a treatment program. This course is to challenge therapists to continue to view the patients’ collagen from different perspectives. How does emerging information in neuroscience and regen-erative medicine fit in with traditional concepts in histology and neurophysiology? This new course will bring a broader perspective on the patients’ tissue complaints. It will stimulate discussion on new ways to look at your current treatment methodology.
