Manual Therapy Course Series

Overview

We are proud to present a continuing education series that incorporates some of the latest advances in the clinical management of the patient with neuromusculoskeletal dysfunction. This course series is designed to promote the development of clinical decision-making skills and the implementation of manual therapy principles. Relevant research findings are combined with traditional, fundamental standards to produce a course of study that every clinician will find stimulating and applicable to their clinical setting.

This program of post-professional training is centered about the following concepts:

This program is designed to develop and foster clinical decision-making skills utilizing case reports and publications, all illustrating the analysis of cases, by interpreting the subjective examination, and integrating the objective examination findings based on static landmarks, pain/range-of-motion patterns, and manual therapy principles.
Differential diagnosis by stages, in a sequential series of integrated course segments designed to provide multiple opportunities to learn, review and master selected manual therapy assessment and treatment techniques.
Multiple exposures to real-life clinical presentations and associated treatment approaches to address mechanical dysfunction of the neuromusculoskeletal system.
An emphasis on hands-on learning experiences, which will include multiple opportunities to learn and review manual therapy assessment and treatment techniques.

This program is designed as five-part course series distributed over the course of a eight month interval. All instructional segments are integrated around several common principles. Ample laboratory time is built into each segment, to allow for the mastery of hands-on-skills. Supplemental study material is provided to improve the retention of learning objectives between the scheduled course segments.
