This class was designed to give the clinician a thorough and in-depth understanding of the lumbar spine complex. It is evidence based and incorporates muscle energy technique, articular mobilization, myofascial release and stabilization exercises to give you a multi-faceted approach that gives you all the tools to treat this area with confidence. You should feel very comfortable with most lumbar patients once you leave this class.
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.
