Functional Anatomy: The Bridge Between Symptoms & Treatment Course Description This class will give the clinician the ability to apply functional anatomy principles and palpation to find the source of a patient’s symptoms. The clinician will also learn how to palpate all muscles that are responsible for dysfunction, and how to train them with emphasis on muscle function versus muscle action. This course will definitely change the way you view finding the cause of common orthopedic problems and make treatment easier. Attendees should have a basic knowledge of anatomy as this is an applied anatomy course. As with all of our manual therapy courses, this seminar will follow a progression of principles and reinforce them throughout the 16 hours, is at least 75% hands-on lab, and will give the clinician hands-on skills they use immediately upon their return to the clinical setting.
