Intricate Art Extremity Manipulation
This is a 2-day (typically Sat-Sun) introductory course on Extremity Manipulation, theory and practical application. It's built on years of experience with DO’s, DC’s and PT’s. All aspects from these different professions are incorporated into this course. I played D1 ice hockey in college and have been manipulated by many people, in many professions, prior to manipulating my own patients. A wide variety of techniques are discussed in-depth throughout this course, with focus on providing safe and effective clinical manipulative treatment for a wide variety of patients.
How to treat high-level athletic impairments, carpal tunnel syndrome, CMC pathology, plantar fasciitis, ankle and wrist hypomobility, TOS and other impairments with manipulative techniques is covered throughout the course.
Often-times, in order to provide effective, pain-free HVLA treatment, other manipulative techniques, such as soft tissue manipulation and grades 1-4, must be employed prior. These techniques are also covered throughout this course as an aid and adjunct to the grade 5 techniques you will learn.
How to utilize Dry Needling in conjunction with manipulative therapy is also covered in-depth throughout this course.
Significant time will be spent on safety, biomechanics and neurovascular anatomy, and physiology. This course centers on hands-on, practical experience with partners.
Additionally, this course will include history taking, informed consent, set up procedures, relative and absolute contraindications, efficacy, physiology, global and local forces generated during manipulation, controversy regarding the utilization of manipulation, cervical arterial dissection, and other evidence based research.
