Manual Therapy, Lumbopelvic Stabilization, & Exercise for Movement Dysfunctions

• • Contrast the differences in manual therapy techniques created by Grimsby, Kaltenborn, Mackenzie, Maitland, Mulligan, and Paris, and list the benefits of each
• • Analyze local and global muscle systems to determine how dysfunctions occur through evaluation of fascial layers, the role of fascial slings, and trigger points
• • Articulate how the three layers of spine in applied anatomy and research on the "four horsemen" (quadratus lumborum, transverse abdominis, multifidus, and obliques) are used to develop core strengthening exercises
• • Apply myofascial release techniques that have immediate therapeutic effects for cervical, shoulder, spine, and periphery areas
• • Integrate manual techniques addressing pain and mobility for cervical, shoulder, and lumbar regions into your clinical work
• • Perform balance, strengthening, and core exercises and adjust them accordingly based on the foundation of exercise, balance, dysfunction, and training

Improve Mobility, Reduce Pain, & Enhance Function!
Mechanical pain continues to be a common spinal dysfunction that creates discomfort, restriction, development of trigger points, and leads to loss of function. Professionals need effective, easy to perform manual techniques that will address various dysfunctions. Manual therapy is one of the most effective, evidence-based interventions to help patients. With several different manual therapy approaches available, Mr. Gellert simplifies and highlights techniques created by Grimsby, Kaltenborn, Mackenzie, Maitland, Mulligan, and Paris. Discover how myofascial release and joint mobilizations improve mobility, reduce pain, and quickly enhance function. Identify where dysfunction commonly occurs in the spine, how to assess, design, and progress effective, individualized lumbopelvic stabilization programs. Finally, modify an exercise to shift from a balance exercise to a strengthening exercise utilizing various equipment and patient cues to improve patients' progress. Attendees will be able to immediately implement these techniques the next day to improve clinical outcomes.
