Functional Mobilization I
2023-10-06 08:00 - 2023-10-08 17:00 (America/Detroit) | Atlanta, GA IPA, Emory University Hospital, Atlanta, GA, United States
IPA has led the profession since 1978 in the understanding and implementation of myofascial and soft tissue mobilization for treatment of human structure and function. FMI, (formerly FO I) was the first biomechanical soft tissue mobilization (STM) course offered to the PT profession. In FMI, the participant personally experiences the dynamic changes in his or her structure and function as well as facilitates changes in a lab partner during supervised lab sessions. Master clinician instructors guide the participants in:

An understanding of the dynamic Functional Manual Therapy® clinical reasoning system
Comprehensive discussion of the three pillars of FMT: Mechanical Capacity, Neuromuscular Function, and Motor Control
Observation of posture and dynamic movement assessment
Three Functional Tests to be used before and after each intervention
End feel assessment and interpretation
Localization of mechanical myofascial and soft tissue dysfunctions
Specific Functional Mobilization™ techniques which combine soft tissue and joint mobilization with active or resisted patient movements and PNF. With direct progressions into specific exercise training.

After taking FMI, the skills and techniques learned will directly impact your clinical practice by empowering you to create immediate changes in the function of the human body with three dimensional and localized manual therapy interventions. The immediate clinical impact of FMI stems from the supervised lab sessions in which the participants observe the correlation between the mechanical capacity of the soft tissue system and posture and functional movements. The concept of the human body as an interconnected and dynamic system permeates the instruction and lab practice sessions. Emphasis is placed on your skill development for both observation and manual treatment.

Dry Needling 1: Foundations I Myopain
2023-10-06 08:00 - 2023-10-08 17:00 UTC | Myopain Seminars – Corporate Office, 4405 East-West Highway, Bethesda, MD, United States
The DN-1 Foundations I course features a brief introduction to the history of dry needling, trigger points, and myofascial pain, an in-depth review of possible adverse events, the OSHA Bloodborne Pathogen Standards within the context of dry needling, and an introduction to relevant pain sciences.

Many muscles commonly addressed in clinical practice are included, such as the infraspinatus, upper trapezius, deltoid, sternocleidomastoid, triceps, biceps, brachialis, levator scapulae, the latissimus dorsi (partially), the subscapularis, brachioradialis, wrist extensors, supinator and anconeus, the quadratus lumborum, psoas major, lumbar iliocostalis, the gluteal muscles (minimus, medius, and maximus), the hip adductor muscles, the quadriceps and hamstrings, and gastrocnemius and soleus muscles.
Students will review the anatomy, function, and dry needling techniques for each muscle.
Pre-Course videos will be provided after registration. You can register for the DN-1 Webinar If you prefer to review the presentations in a live webinar.
Dry Needling 1: Foundations I is the first course in a 3-course series offered by Myopain Seminars to attain certification as a Certified Myofascial Trigger Point Therapist – Dry Needling (CMTPT/DN).
A minimum score of 70% on a multiple choice quiz plus demonstrated muscle competency is required to pass this course. Physical therapists licensed in Tennessee must achieve a minimum score of 80%.
Several states require between 46 and 54 hours of dry needling education to be able to use dry needling in clinical practice, which makes some students conclude that attending the DN-3 course would not be needed. In one of our blogs, we explain the clinical and legal considerations why clinicians should complete the entire certification program in dry needling,

Extremity Manipulative Therapy: Upper & Lower Extremity HVLA Thrust Manipulation
2023-10-07 08:00 - 2023-10-08 17:00 (America/Detroit) | Boynton Beach, FL, Boynton Beach, FL, 33424, United States
Completion of SMT-1 is required prior to taking EMT-1 because musculoskeletal extremity pain and dysfunction rarely occur in isolation and have been found in the most recent literature to be frequently associated with underlying spinal dysfunction.
This two-day (15 contact hours) technique-based course will emphasize the actual physical delivery of high-velocity low-amplitude (HVLA) thrust manipulation procedures to the upper and lower extremity articulations for the management of a variety of peripheral musculoskeletal conditions.
Short lever, long-lever, and combined short and long-lever HVLA thrust manipulation techniques will be instructed and demonstrated for the following extremity articulations or bones: the acromioclavicular (AC) joint, glenohumeral (GH) joint, radiohumeral (RH) joint, ulnohumeral (UH) joint, distal radioulnar joint, capitate bone, lunate bone, scaphoid bone, 1st carpometacarpal (CMC) joint, metacarpophalangeal (MCP) joints, proximal interphalangeal (PIP) joints, distal interphalangeal (DIP) joints, acetabulofemoral (hip) joint, tibiofemoral (knee) joint, superior tibiofibular joint, inferior tibiofibular joint, talocrural (ankle) joint, subtalar joint, 1st tarsometatarsal (TMT) joint, cuboid bone, navicular bone, middle and lateral cuneiform bones, and the metatarsophalangeal (MTP) joints.
In addition, in order to appropriately frame the use of spinal and extremity manipulation within evidence-based practice, biomechanical (peripheral), spinal (segmental), and supraspinal (cortical) models will each be presented as possible mechanisms for the immediate hypoalgesic effects observed following HVLA thrust manipulation in the extremities and spine.
