Course Description

This course is an overview of the mechanical actions of vertebral manipulation in an advanced musculoskeletal context. It will focus on the diversity of available approaches towards the use of manipulations. The clinician will be able to explore those approaches and personalize that therapeutic gesture. 

Course Goals

Participants will be able to recognize the different strategies in order to perform spinal manipulation and acquire tools allowing them to adapt those strategies according to:

  • The clinician’s morphology
  • His/her temperament
  • The patient’s morphology
  • The patient’s physical/psychological state

Participants will be able to integrate these notions in the everyday clinical context to make it a custom-made clinical tool.

In preparation for this course, the participants will be asked about the manipulation(s) with which they struggle the most, so we will be able to customize each session. The instructor would need this information 4-6 weeks prior to the course so he can adapt its content for each setting.
