Evidence-Based Manual Therapy Techniques: Advanced Concepts for the Upper Body
Charlotte, NC - Apr 18, 2026 (8:00 AM to 11:15 AM US/Eastern)
Price:$169.99
Research studies frequently point to the benefits of treatment interventions that consist of both therapeutic exercise and manual therapy together. Furthermore, manual therapy has been shown to provide a variety of benefits other than the traditionally understood biomechanical effects, though these potential benefits are not often taken into consideration clinically. Unfortunately, in many rehabilitation settings, one-on-one time with the patient to provide manual therapy is limited. To give patients, the best and most effective care, clinicians must be able to perform efficient assessments and manual interventions that don't require a full session to implement. These manual techniques ultimately need to be reinforced with patient-driven exercises and self- care techniques that foster optimal long-term outcomes.
This course goes beyond the material covered in the Evidence-Based Manual Therapy Techniques course, focusing specifically on more advanced concepts to aid in the treatment of upper body dysfunctions. Essential conceptswill be reviewed and then applied through the application ofmanual therapy and exercise to help address patient conditions beyond the basic conditions encountered in the preceding course. The result is a clinician who is better equipped to address some of the more complex cases thatrequire management beyond basic treatment, to help restore the patient to their prior level of function and beyond.
Target Audience: Physical Therapists, Physical Therapist Assistants, Occupational Therapists, Occupational Therapy Assistants, Athletic Trainers

one of the listed objectives above regarding the lumbar spine is incorrect for this course, likely due to clerical error. i am highly satisfied with the course's information provided regarding ruling out cervical spine

there is a question that says lumbar spine when it should say cervical spine.
