Physical Therapy Continuing Education Offerings
WE ARE utilizes significant clinical experience, awareness of published evidence, research interests, and clinical reasoning to deliver high-quality information and psychomotor skillsets that you can put to use in the clinic on Monday.
Spinal Manipulation:
The evidence supports it, and patients often expect it with spinal pain. Even with non-spinal pain, there have been numerous studies published on the potential role and benefit of spinal manipulation (e.g., subacromial pain syndrome, tennis elbow/lateral epicondylalgia).
With our two-day spinal manipulation course, you will have the opportunity to learn and improve upon your performance of a number of thrust manipulation techniques with a focus on when to use these interventions and how to communicate with patients about manipulation in order to more successfully utilize this form of treatment.

However, it can sometimes be harder when the athlete is larger than the therapist or has muscle bulk that limits mobility.
