Following the on-line course, participants attend a weekend intensive course to gain the skills of assessment and manipulation of the cervical and thoracic spine. This course will focus on the clinical reasoning and motor learning required to effectively integrate manual physical therapy examination and intervention techniques into the clinical management of these individuals. Specifically, participants will have a chance to see, be instructed in and demonstrate proficiency in manipulation. Selected techniques will be taught for each area of the cervical and thoracic spine to allow participants to have options for working in different areas of the spine.
