Course Description:

The goal of this lab-based course is to refine one’s skill with evidence-based evaluative and treatment techniques that can be utilized for those presenting with common conditions of the cervicothoracic region. This in-person laboratory experience will utilize a person centered, integrative and evidenced informed approach to foster one’s clinical reasoning and decision making through discussion based and hands-on laboratory experiences. The use of a person-centered framework, a hands-on examination, individualized evaluation, and the integration of manual physical therapy, therapeutic exercise, and education will be emphasized. A guideline-based process will also be highlighted within an autonomous, collaborative, person-centered, and integrative framework.
