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.

PARTICIPANTS COMMENTS: EXCELLENT!! ...Bill was terrific and made sure everyone was comfortable with the techniques before moving onto something new Loved all the lab time afforded with this course. Bill was fantastic!! ...extremely helpful and made everyone in the class feel comfortable asking questions. Great balance between lecture and lab. Handouts were organized and will be easy to replicate for use in the clinic. Just what I was looking for. Thanks !!
