SMT-1: HIGH-VELOCITY LOW-AMPLITUDE THRUST MANIPULATION OF THE CERVICAL, THORACIC, LUMBAR & SI JOINTS

Course overview

This two-day seminar includes 70% hands-on practical training and 30% didactic lecture instruction. The content of the seminar highlights the biomechanical principles and practical hands-on skills required to perform high-velocity low-amplitude (HVLA) thrust manipulation techniques in a competent and safe manner for all of the spinal regions. Clinical case studies are presented for discussion of diagnosis and management based upon clinical reasoning and the best available empirical evidence. Course tuition includes 110 page booklet with detailed description and pictures of all HVLA thrust techniques, current evidence underpinning the use of spinal manipulation in cervicogenic headaches, acute and chronic low back pain, sacroiliac joint dysfunction, and idiopathic neck pain.
