CEU’s: Pending
Counts towards: COMT & Manual Therapy Fellowship
Course Description: This course will present a contemporary approach to managing neuromuscular dysfunction. Emphasis will be placed on integrating human biomechanics, myofascial kinetic chains and respiration enabling the clinician to utilize a multi-planar examination approach that respects multi-systems and environmental demands placed on human movement system. Utilizing theoretical concepts as well as evidence-guided principles for examination and treatment, discussions will focus on related issues pertaining to clinical reasoning and decision making involving the whole individual, multiple systems, and tri-planar muscle and joint assessment. The 2-day live course will include structured laboratory sessions that provide hands-on instruction in pertinent assessment and treatment techniques.
