Course Description
This two-day onsite laboratory course is focused on the advanced examination / interventions targeting the lower quarter, including mechanical diagnosis and therapy concepts, adverse neural dynamics, mobilization/manipulation techniques, and manual resisted exercise. The course will include discussion on optimizing the patient history, key differentiation testing to use in the physical exam, and strategies to select optimal intervention procedures.
Appropriate Dress: Please wear lab attire that allows for assessment and treatment of the neck and thoracic spine.
Learning Objectives
By the end of this course, participants will be able to:
- Analyze the selection of lower quarter manual therapy techniques or integrated exercise using clinical reasoning and application of current best evidence.
- Performed selected manipulation and mobilization techniques in patients with lower quarter pain or dysfunction.
- Performed advanced lower quarter techniques with growing expertise, including mechanical diagnosis and therapy concepts, adverse neural dynamics, mobilization/manipulation techniques, and manual resisted exercise.
- Demonstrated ideal progression of exercise with increasing demands on the patient with lower quarter symptoms and conditions.
- Discuss evidence-informed communication strategies that enhance clinical-decision making processes in those with lower quarter presentations.
