Advanced Dynamic Anatomy: Bridging the Gap between Anatomy & Treatment

Most PT programs only teach the actions of muscles. This course teaches what each muscle’s function is, and how to use anatomy to diagnose your patients better when the problem is due to a muscle dysfunction. You will also learn how to fix the muscle dysfunctions of hypertonicity and hypotonicity so the dysfunctions don’t come back. The course also teaches evidence based treatment for tendinosis and concepts needed for functional retraining of muscles.  

This course will give you the ability to find the cause of muscle weakness and the patient’s pain based on functional anatomy principles. This will enable you to direct you patients to a quicker, more successful recovery. You will learn how to palpate all muscles that are responsible for dysfunction, along with the difference between muscle function and action, so you will be able to immediately recognize muscle dysfunction and identify the specific muscle at fault.

Come learn what to do with the muscular system we were never taught in school! This course will change the way you view finding the cause of common orthopedic problems and make treatment easier. Participants 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. This course is at least 75% hands-on lab, and will give the clinician skills they can use immediately upon their return to the clinical setting.
