Patients with chronic and recurring pain or dysfunction challenge most clinicians. Often, the source of the unresolved pain or dysfunction is remote to the presenting signs and symptoms. Understanding the concept of total body integration and function is more than just a concept, it is an anatomical and neurophysiological expression of our genetics. The myofascial […]

SMT-2 is a two-day (15 contact hours) course with an emphasis on upper cervical, mid-cervical and upper thoracic spine dysfunction, as it relates to cervicogenic headaches, whiplash associated disorders, and idiopathic neck pain diagnosis and management. Advanced HVLA thrust manipulation techniques for the occipito-atlantal (C0/1), atlanto-axial (C1/2), C2/3 articulations (in supine and sitting positions) along […]
This course will cover current best evidence in the physical therapy management of neck pain. Laboratory sessions will focus on the safe and effective delivery of thrust and non-thrust manipulation to the cervical spine, cervicothoracic spine, and upper ribs. Additional labs will cover evaluation and treatment of the thoracic spine, management of cervical radiculopathy, upper […]
This live two-day course will teach participants how to appropriately treat and manage the female athlete from preconception to postpartum return to sport. There are more females pushing the boundaries of sport through motherhood. Female athletes are wanting to continue to participate in and return to sport after baby. As clinicians, we need to understand […]
This course will cover current best evidence in the use of thrust manipulation to treat common clinical syndromes. Laboratory sessions will focus on the safe and effective delivery of thrust manipulations to the lumbar spine, sacroiliac joint, thoracic spine, and cervical spine. Lecture material will focus on the developing body of literature regarding safety of […]
This advanced lecture and lab course explores the biomechanics of contralateral and ipsilateral myokinematic lumbo-pelvic-femoral dysfunction. Treatment emphasizes the restoration of pelvic-femoral alignment and recruitment of specific rotational muscles to reduce synergistic predictable patterns of pathomechanic asymmetry. Emphasis will be placed on restoration, recruitment, and retraining activities using internal and external rotators of the femur, […]
