Description

This course was designed to give the clinician the knowledge and skills needed to instruct their patients in self-joint mobilizations, self-soft tissue mobilizations (instrument and non-instrument assisted), and taping techniques that the patient can use at home. This will reinforce the results of your exercise and manual treatment with the patient in the clinic to improve carry-over between sessions and overall patient outcomes. This course is at least 75% hands-on lab and will give the clinician skills they can use immediately when they return to the clinic setting.
