Description
This is a Hybrid (Live & Online) experiential hands-on seminar that teaches the most successful approaches for the evaluation and treatment of Cervical and Thoracic Spine pathology and has been attended by over 30,000 therapists world-wide. This is a training seminar with immediate clinical applications. Participants learn a comprehensive therapeutic approach for the evaluation and treatment of:
Acute and Chronic Neck Pain
Headaches
Stiff Neck
Cervical Radiculopathy
Cervical Pseudo – Radiculopathy
TMJ Dysfunction
Acute and Chronic Thoracic Spine Pain
Orthopedic, Neurologic and Pain conditions can effectively be treated with this method.
The Online program covers basic theory and the following evidence based manual therapy techniques for Cervical & Thoracic Spine Pathology:
– Myofascial Trigger Point Therapy
– Strain & Counter-Strain
– Muscle Energy Technique
– Mobilization & Manipulation
– Neuro-mobilization
– Proprioceptive Training
– Stabilization
The Live program teaches the Application of Evidence-Based Manual Therapy techniques in various Cervical & Thoracic Spine pathologies using real clinical patient cases.
