Objectives
CTI: Cervical Thoracic Integration
(Developed by Jeffrey J Ellis MS, PT, MTC, FFCFMT)
Describe the normal and abnormal arthrokinematics of the cranio-cervical and thoracic spine in the neutral and non-neutral postures.
Describe the normal and abnormal arthrokinematics of the costal cage.
Differentiate "structural" rib dysfunctions from "respiratory" rib dysfunctions.
Describe the normal and abnormal myokinematics of the cranio-cervical thoracic and costal cage regions identifying potential sites of "myofascial and neurovascular entrapment".
Describe / demonstrate the significance and role of myofascial dysfunction (MFD) as a "primary motion restrictor" in movement dysfunction of the cervical-thoracic and costal cage regions.
Perform a biomechanical evaluation of the cranio-cervical-thoracic and costal cage regions identifying aberrant arthro/myokinematics of the same (positionsl/motion dysfunction).
Stress the importance of, and safely perform "vertebro-basilar" and ligamentous stress testing" of the cranio-cervical region.
Identify the relationships and distinctions between spondylogenic, radicular, neurogenic, viscerogenic and psychogenic pain syndromes of the cranio-cervical-thoracic and costal cage regions.
Perform a variety of "traditional and non-traditional" Muscle Energy (MET), Soft Tissue Mobilization (STM), and Neuromuscular Re-Education techniques in a safe and efficacious manner.
Incorporate various "schools of thought" and treatment strategies (ie. PNF, Functional Technique, Joint Mobil./Manip., McKenzie, Maitland approach, Functional Orthopaedics and Functional Mobilization) with the Osteopathic MET methodology.
Demonstrate the importance of a "prescriptive" home exercise program (HEP), relative to specific motion/position dysfunction of the cervical-thoracic and costal cage regions.
Target Audience
Physical Therapists, Physical Theapy Assistants

Description
Integrative Muscle Energy Series
Developed by Jeffrey J Ellis MS, PT, MTC, FFCFMT
CTI provides an Integrative and systematic approach in differentiating and correcting somatic dysfunction of the cervical, thoracic spine and rib cage. Primarily utilizing Integrative Muscle Energy Technique (MET), CTI incorporates Soft Tissue Mobilization (STM), Neuro-Muscular Re-Education and Prescriptive Home Exercises, while combining, harmonizing the principles of Osteopathic methodology with those of Orthopaedic Manual Physical Therapy. CTI serves as "core curriculum" in Touro College's Advanced Masters program (Bayshore, NY) in Orthopaedic Manual Therapy as well as the Institute of Physical Art's Certification Program CFMT (Steamboat Springs, CO).
*A $35 discount is given for CTI if payment "in-full" is received 30 days prior to start date of the seminar.
