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 […]
This course provides you with a central theme in treating the hip complex. Often, evaluations collect overwhelming amounts of subjective and objective information, yet leave us without a clear strategy. You'll learn to solve the problem of assessment versus treatment by combining them, thus simplifying the methodology to find dysfunction, treat it and assess it. […]
Feeling like you want to add more, and unique, skills to your tool belt for treating your extremity patients? This course teaches techniques that are for the everyday and difficult extremity patients who don't respond well to normal treatments. Through it, you'll learn really cool joint mobilizations and myofascial release techniques, along with retraining exercises […]
