COMPLEXITIES OF THE KNEE COMPLEX
All courses at Rehab Code take a novel approach to learning. We utilize case studies to follow a thought process similar to the one you would use when evaluating and treating a patient. Instead of having you memorize a handful of techniques, this approach encourages you to think critically and create your own framework for the rehab process. Complexities of the Knee Complex offers 5 cases related to different knee pathologies:
Differential diagnosis of intra-articular vs extra-articular pathology
Hamstring management and rehab progression
ACL repair: understanding the later stages of rehab
Patellar tendinopathy vs OCD lesion
IT band syndrome vs patello-femoral joint dysfunction
Courses scheduled for one day will cover 3 of these case studies and the host of the course will have the opportunity to decide which 3 best fit their needs. All 5 cases will be covered in our two day courses. Our commitment to you is to go above and beyond the typical “in-and-out in a weekend” con ed structure. Here you’ll join the community of like-minded individuals and gain access to our network of professionals focused on bettering and advancing the field. We’ve elevated the standard by providing you with an extensive video library with tutorial videos on the techniques performed at the course.
Course Objectives
Instill fundamental principles and enhance clinical patterning recognition for knee cases
Improve clinical reasoning with decisions related to differential diagnostics, technique selection, and proper vigor/dosage to both manual therapy and exercise
Provide guidance in justifying treatment selection and exercise progression
Increase confidence with testing athletes and gain clarity on return to play decisions
Improve clinical examination skills, differential diagnostics, and treatment efficiencies through application of different manual adjustments of joints and soft tissue

Jess Elis
meet your instructors
Jess combines his education (DPT, SCS, OCS, PhDc, FAAOMPT) with his experience (Director of Physical Therapy for EXOS & Director of Player Health and Performance for the Portland Trail Blazers) to guide you through clinical decision making at the knee.
Peer isn’t your average TA, he’s a fellowship-trained PT with over 18 years of experience working in sports and orthopedics. His last 5 years have been involved with teaching fellowship level courses and finishing up his Doctorate of Science (D.Sc). Instead of focusing on rigid techniques, he will provide you with insightful applied knowledge from his extensive experience and education.
While both are here to present you with exclusive content, the main focus of these courses are to elevate your thinking and decision making. They will challenge you to think critically and become a better practitioner.
CASE study approach to learning
Each case will follow the same clinical decision making pattern you would follow with a patient: following a brief patient history you will work together to identify SINSS and a leading hypothesis along with differentials. The examination will be specific to the case. Rather than take you through the basic exam you were taught in school, the tests and measures performed will be specifically chosen based on the patient presentation. These choices will also directly relate to the treatment approach for the patient.
From your evaluation, you will determine the appropriate diagnosis and then begin your treatment process. While each case will differ, you will be guided through various manual techniques in addition to manual resisted (or PNF) exercises. There will be a discussion on proper exercise selection as well as dosage and each case will follow up on any RTP decisions that need to be made for the patient.
This method of learning will not only encourage you to think critically but allow you to form a framework for evaluation, treatment, and return to sport decision making.
