Treatment of Common Extremity Dysfunction through Mobilization Course Description This class is only taught by Patrick Hoban, GLS Founder. There are few classes on the market where you will learn how to treat so many common extremity dysfunctions through mobilization and be able to utilize the techniques Monday morning. This will take your understanding of extremity mobilization far beyond what you learned in school. As with all of our manual therapy courses, this seminar will follow a 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.

What do people have to say about the Extremity Mobilization Course?

This was my first course - the next one will have big shoes to fill - Newark, NJ The mobs. were logical and the repetition made it stick in my head. I will be ready to use this with my patients this week. - Newark, NJ I'll use it tomorrow. I will now look differently at patients and treat dysfunction rather than pain. - San Francisco, CA I will be able to use these techniques immediately. It will definitely be helpful in problem solving. - Los Angeles, CA The best course I've ever been to. - Ann Arbor, MI, and Portland, OR and Seattle, WA The hands-on was excellent - mostly the repetition to reinforce the techniques and the tactile feedbacl from the instructors. - San Francisco, CA Patrick made me want to learn more and to become a more holistic therapist. - Chicago, IL Used excellent appliation of the learning theory, also gave clear precise instruction in multiple modes. I don't believe one second of it was not useful - I was affraid to use the restroom for fear of missing something! - Seattle, WA
