Description
This lab intensive course presents both Muscle Energy Techniques (MET) and Soft Tissue Mobilization (STM) for the cervical and upper thoracic spines, upper ribs and shoulder regions. The participants will be instructed in the science and principles of these techniques along with an overview of the anatomy and biomechanics of the regions. The laboratory sessions will include demonstration followed by opportunity to practice these hands-on evaluation and treatment techniques under the supervision of your instructor. The course will end w/ a discussion and demonstration lab of appropriate exercises to support manual therapy. This course will provide the participant with the understanding and necessary skills to apply these techniques in the clinic environment.
