Therapeutic Exercise and Manual Therapy

Do you know which exercises will "best" recruit the rotator cuff musculature? The gluteals? This workshop is designed to provide the medical professional with an understanding of research findings combined with clinically relevant therapeutic exercise and manual therapy techniques. This workshop will provide extensive hands-on lab time in order to practice and refine your manual therapyskills. While exercises are often beneficial, individuals are often assigned too many exercises with excessive parameters and this can be ineffective.

This workshop will enhance the clinician's critical reasoning process by providing the most recent advances to further enhance evidence-informed practice. Each participant will receive a comprehensive workshop manual with multiple summary tables that detail "take home" findings from the research studies. Expand your toolbox and learn manual therapy techniques to deactivate trigger points. The exercises and manual therapy techniques taught can be immediately implemented into practice with patients, athletes and clients.
