Proficiency in manual therapy, including thrust manipulation techniques, is a fundamental component of entry-level physical therapy education. However, many clinicians have felt uncomfortable and unable to practice these skills extensively for various reasons, limiting their use of this valuable hands-on tool for their patients. This 2-day, 12-CE unit course is designed to bridge this gap by providing a comprehensive review of standard and advanced manipulation techniques, along with assessment techniques to guide clinical decision-making on their application. Participants will leave the course with renewed skills and confidence, ready to immediately employ these techniques as soon as they return to their respective practices.
