Course Description
Designed to give you an understanding of lower half functional relationships, in order to accurately assess and treat common syndromes and dysfunctions.
Developed for manual therapists with an understanding of spinal, extremity and pelvic girdle assessment and treatment, this seminar helps you to integrate this knowledge with current clinical insights. Following the course, you will understand and appreciate how the lower half of the body functions as a single, functioning unit.
You will be able to evaluate the joints of the lower half statically and dynamically for normal and abnormal function and describe their functional interdependence. Treatment techniques such as soft tissue and joint mobilization, as well as rehabilitative exercises, will be studied.
