A Deep Dive into Principles of Posture, Movement and Management of Complex Patient Cases
Course Overview
This course will explore an evidence-based approach to evaluating and treating patients who have pain with no apparent mechanism of injury. We will discuss the role of basic anatomic and physiological function in peripheral systemic dysfunction, specific evaluative techniques, and intervention strategies that can drive efficient resolution of this dysfunction.
