Description: Selective manual therapy techniques are an integral part of a physical therapist assistant’s collaborative scope of work. This course is the first part in our PTA series and will provide a fundamental foundation on specified manual therapy in addition to the current guidelines and recommendations for the PTA. Course content will explore different osteokinematic mobilizations both passive and active, proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation techniques, assisted neurodynamic, and soft tissue techniques as they relate to the cervicothoracic region and the upper quarter. This lab course will be designed to maximize hands-on practice with short lectures and group discussion.

During the lab, participants will have expert supervision and guidance from multiple Certified Orthopaedic Manual Therapists and Fellows of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Manual Physical Therapists. Download Flyer
