Course Description:
This 2-day introductory lab course provides Physical Therapists, Occupational Therapists, Massage Therapists, and Manual Therapists with a hands-on foundation in Muscle Energy Techniques and Integrative Manual Therapy for the pelvis, sacrum, and spine. Participants will learn to assess and treat biomechanical dysfunction through a practical, whole-body approach that connects structural integrity with functional outcomes. Through guided lab work and clinical application, attendees will gain tools to decrease muscle hypertonicity, improve joint mobility, and enhance movement efficiency. This course emphasizes immediate clinical relevance, helping practitioners build confidence in their assessment skills and expand their treatment options for a wide range of patients.
Learning Outcomes:
Upon completion of this course, students will be able to:
- Perform a structured assessment of the pelvis, sacrum, and spine
- Apply foundational Muscle Energy techniques to address biomechanical dysfunction
- Identify and treat sources of muscle hypertonicity and joint restriction
- Integrate a whole-body, systems-based approach into clinical decision making
- Improve patient outcomes by connecting structural treatment with functional movement
