Description
There is myriad of evidence to support the effectiveness of
using manual therapy to address pain and musculoskeletal
disorders. Often this important modality is overlooked in
the treatment of geriatric patients. This course presents
the evidence-based rationale for using manual therapy
with geriatric patients and demonstrates how manual
therapy can safely and effectively be applied to this patient
population. Using the concepts of Robin McKenzie,
Geoffrey Maitland, and Brian Mulligan, this course details
their manual therapy techniques for treating the spine and
extremities. The philosophical, evaluative, and treatment
concepts of each approach will be compared and contrasted.
This fast-paced course will focus on lab instruction
with ample time for hands-on practice of a large variety of
manual techniques. A problem solving approach will be
presented to assist in the clinical application of manual
therapy techniques on the older patient by providing the
indication of each technique as they relate to symptoms
and diagnoses. This is the perfect course to attend if you
see geriatric orthopedic patients or have ever been curious
about these three manual therapy approaches.
Please bring an exercise mat and pillow for padding
tables and long gait belt or mobilization belt for practicing
techniques.
