Current science and research will be presented, along with a vast amount of clinical experience, allowing immediate application of manipulative techniques into the clinicians’ professional practice. A two-day course, comprised of 80% practical and 20% didactic training is designed to concentrate on the development of the psychomotor skills needed to deliver manipulation safely and effectively to the spine and extremities.
