This two-day course is comprised of 80% practical and 20% didactic training. The primary focus will be on the development of the psychomotor skills needed to safely and effectively deliver advanced thrust joint manipulation (TJM) techniques to the vertebral column, more commonly known as spinal manipulation. Also included will be an in-depth review of mechanisms […]
This course will cover current best evidence in the physical therapy management of low back pain. Laboratory sessions will focus on the safe and effective delivery of thrust and non-thrust manipulation to the lumbar spine, thoracolumbar spine, and lower ribs. Additional labs will cover an introduction to the McKenzie approach, management of lumbar radiculopathy, thoracolumbar […]
