Manual Therapy for the PTA

This course will cover manual therapy interventions for the extremities, both lower and upper. The course will be primarily in a lab format and will focus on joint mobilizations, and also include soft tissue release techniques, and neuromuscular re-education  interventions. There will be suggestions and problem-solving for body mechanics/handling techniques to minimize stress on the clinician's hands and body. There is an asynchronous online portion (3 hours) covering biomechanics, arthrokinematics, and documentation. There will be two days of instruction in person (7 hours each).  Participants will be able to employ learned techniques immediately in the clinic. 

Format: 2 days onsite (14 hours) + 3 hours with asynchronous online content = 17 contact hours
