| Objective |
| This course is designed for physicians with little or no prior experience who wish to learn basic manipulation skills for assessing and treating common clinical problems. It will also serve as a good review for DOs who wish to refresh their skills. An osteopathic framework emphasizing soft tissue (ST), muscle energy (ME) and high velocity-low amplitude (HVLA) techniques will be used. Participants will learn focused examination tips and basic treatment techniques, working on each other as simulated patients. Techniques will cover cervical, thoracic, lumbar, and sacral areas as well as special cases. Common clinical cases will be presented for attendees to solve using newly learned skills under instructor supervision to ensure competence and confidence. |
UPON COMPLETION OF THIS PROGRAM, PARTICIPANTS WILL BE ABLE TO:
Perform assessment and treatment of somatic dysfunction of musculoskeletal conditions amenable to basic manipulation techniques to include: long restrictors (piriformis and psoas), lumbar spine, sacroiliac joint, thoracic spine, cervical spine, and special cases. |
