Manual Therapy for the Pediatric Shoulder & Spine

Price:$169.99

Additional Information

Manual therapy is an effective intervention for the pediatric population, one that is often not found in continuing education for this area of practice. The shoulder/spine region is especially susceptible to joint dysfunction and pain due to the strain of repetitive use. Hands-on interventions can help mitigate impairments and functional limitations throughout the lifespan. Both typical developing children and children withdisabilities are at a high risk for pain and dysfunction in this area and pediatric therapists are charged with prevention, treatment, and education for all ages.

This course will provide an in-depth anatomy review of the shoulder/spine complex, and address how the regions work in conjunction to maintain erect posture and allow the most efficient use of the upper extremities. Participants will learn hands-on techniques for joint mobility and soft tissuerelease of all structures involved in both regions, as well as learn how faulty mechanics can lead to pain and loss ofactivity/participation in later years. Clinicians will immediately be able to implement treatment strategies and patient/ caregiver education once they return to the clinic.

The content of this program is germane to children, students and clients ages 4-22 years old.

Highlights

  • Hands-on review of cervical and shoulder anatomy and joint mechanics as it applies to the pediatric population
  • Identify specific factors that make the pediatric patient susceptible to dysfunction in these regions
  • Immediately implement manual therapy interventions to alleviate pain, correct dysfunctional jointmechanics, and improve functional mobility for yourclients
  • Hands-on lab including several joint mobility and myofascial release techniques you can implement the next day in patient care

Target Audience: Physical Therapists, Physical Therapist Assistants, Occupational Therapists, Occupational Therapy Assistants

great course! would just say that the instructor talked very fast and times rattled off an alphabet of letters that some may be unfamiliar with or need a reminder of what they stand for. i really did learn a lot about manual therapy and evaluation of the shoulder complex!
