MTX: Skilled Integration of Manual Therapy and Exercise – New Orleans, LA

This course will teach you to improve exercise prescription along the continuum of the rehab process. Principles of exercise are reviewed and analyzed regarding implementation, namely through “phase progression.” The ability to make initial intervention choices and HEP prescription more impactful will be strengthened by matching common manual interventions and impairments to therapeutic exercise. Advanced exercise progressions will be demonstrated and clinical reasoning will be explained so that the concept of “phase progression” can be better applied. In addition, techniques to help bridge gaps in treatment progressions will be discussed. Specifically, PNF-like assisted techniques will be shown as an intervention to progress from passive manual intervention to independent active movement.
