This comprehensive workshop will teach you how to effectively assess and treat the most commonly injured structures in the cervical region. You'll learn how to differentiate muscle, ligament, and disc injuries, and you'll fine-tune your palpation skills and hands-on treatment techniques. The two-day format provides ample time to develop all the skills you need to address a wide range of complaints.
There are six major components to the training.
Anatomy: Participants view, draw and palpate the relevant musculoskeletal structures.
Assessment: Practice musculoskeletal assessment tests and palpation of injured structures.
Theory: This portion presents, in depth, how to use the history, positive assessment test findings and results of palpation to determine which structures are injured. The possible causes of injury are discussed as well as effective treatments.
Integration: After learning the theoretical basis and assessment procedures, the participants integrate this information through hands-on learning games and mock clinics practiced under supervision.
Technique: Detailed treatment techniques to eliminate unwanted adhesive scar tissue are taught, practiced and reviewed several times during the training.
Clinic: On the third day of the training participants practice their skills by taking part in an injury assessment clinic, free and open to the public, under the instructor's supervision.
