Advanced Manual Therapy Concepts for the Spine

Many of us are taught there is a single best approach to treat the spine. However, we know every patient responds differently to treatment techniques. After this course, you’ll have an entire toolbox you can utilize to find out what works best for each spine patient! This course is advanced in that it covers eclectic concepts and multiple different spinal treatment approaches, including MET, PA’s, coupled/non-coupled mobilizations, as well as combining mobilizations with movement for all components of the spine: cervical spine, thoracic spine, ribs, lumbar spine and pelvis.

 

As with all our manual therapy courses, this course is at least 75% hands-on lab, and will give you skills you can use immediately upon returning to the clinic! Intended participants are Physical Therapists who have a good understanding of at least one spinal treatment approach.
