Manipulation Masterclass Series

These 15-hour courses are supplemented with six 30-minute online modules and is strategically developed to maximize the use of the two live seminar days, which will be 90% hands-on. Participants will learn essential motor skills to safely incorporate evidence-informed manipulation techniques for the spine (cervical, thoracic, lumbar, sacral) and major junctional zones (upper cervical, cervicothoracic, thoracolumbar, lumbosacral) or extremity manipulation immediately into clinical practice. Coursework can be taken in any order, and will include a review of updated clinical practice guidelines to support clinical reasoning, as well as, comprehensive neurological and red flag screening.

Course participants will be presented with multiple unique alternative techniques explicitly designed for the larger patient, so providers of all sizes can easily be successful.

No prerequisites are needed for this 2-day course. Must be a PT, ATC, DO, MD, DC, NP, or PA, or enrolled in your final year of school.

Course A will also teach a comprehensive patient evaluation of the cervicothoracic region, emphasizing clinical reasoning and pattern recognition. Additionally, multimodal treatments and patient progressions are supported with advanced thrust & non-thrust interventions, and neuromuscular reeducation approaches specific to cervicothoracic dysfunction.
Course B will also teach a comprehensive patient evaluation of the lumbopelvic region, emphasizing clinical reasoning and pattern recognition. Additionally, multimodal treatments and patient progressions are supported with advanced thrust & non-thrust interventions and neuromuscular reeducation approaches specific to lumbopelvic dysfunction.
Course C: Adv. Spinal Manipulation Coming Soon!!
Course E: Extremity Manipulation Coming Soon!!

“This is one of the best spinal manipulations courses I have ever attended. It really gave me more confidence and skills that I need for many of the complex patients I treat daily!”

~Kyota Shizuka, PT, DPT, ATC, Cert. DN, CSCS

“This is the most skilled and humble group of instructors I have encountered in over 16 years of practice. They are going to change our profession in a profound way!”

~Tiffany Lamonde, PT, DPT, FAAOMPT

“After 10 years of practice and being fearful of spinal manipulation – especially of the cervical spine – this spinal manipulation course changed my outlook and will change how I practice.”

~Melissa Kuester, PT, DPT

I’ve been to many manual therapy courses over my 35+ year career and this one was the best spinal. The techniques were clearly explained and demonstrated, with ample time for feedback and practice.”
