Course Description
This is an intermediate to advanced manual therapy course that will cover soft tissue mobilization, joint mobilization and thrust joint mobilization. Professor Hartman is a master clinician who will demonstrate how his minimal leverage thrust techniques to the cervical and lumbar spine can help reduce unwanted forces and increase patient comfort. He will demonstrate the appropriate soft tissue mobilization techniques for preparing the tissues for thrust joint mobilization. He will also demonstrate how to use joint mobilization to reach a target segment and make the thrust technique more effective.
