The Key Approach
The Key Approach is a practical functional model for manual and movement therapists that helps explain how altered movement patterns underlie clinical pain presentations. It provides a simple classification system to help understand a patient's problems and guides manual and movement therapy treatments. The approach is evidence informed and clinically supported. It’s a practical hands-on approach you can apply in your clinic today.
My aim is to help support and inspire you as clinicians to more effectively treat your clients, and find the magic in being a practitioner. More importantly I hope that this model helps you to understand your own body, steers you away from pain and dysfunction so that you can truly give yourself to the practice of caring for others.
Josephine Key is a published author and trainer of manual and movement therapists globally.
Back Pain: a movement problem is a practical manual to assist all students and clinicians concerned with the evaluation, diagnosis and management of the movement related problems seen in those with spinal pain disorders.
Key with ample reference to the research of others, has mined and collated the evidence of her many years of clinical practice, to effectively demonstrate the need for us to understand the ways in which overuse, misuse, abuse and disuse lead inevitably to altered posturo-movement control, and commonly pain. How to read such changes more effectively, and how to integrate appropriate treatment and rehabilitation strategies, are the tools that are on offer in this excellent work.

Movement therapy for spinal pain and injuries
This is a practical guide for physiotherapists, pilates, yoga and integrated movement therapists to assist in the more appropriate rehabilitation of people with spinal pain disorders. Informed by the evidence, it presents a model of movement dysfunction common to this population – and in response to this offers the fundamental patterns of control which are commonly deficient. The focus is on restoring natural patterns of functional movement and helping the client move out of pain.
