Folsom Physical Therapy
This four-day course is the first in the series of courses constituting the next generation of Folsom Physical Therapy OMT continuing education. Our courses focus on development of critical skills necessary to enhance clinical confidence, efficiency and professional fulfillment in today’s challenging medical-economic environment.
The initial series highlights the foundations of proficient OMT practice.
– Introduction of our new clinically-based reasoning and practice model
– Rapid interpretation of observation, palpation, and movement testing findings
– Effective manual, exercise and ergonomic interventions
Orthopedic PT clinical expertise requires understanding of the interplay between body systems and the ability to interpret the contribution of each to the patient’s overall presentation. As such, instruction will include pertinent anatomy and pathology associated with, and interplay between, the lymphatic, fascial, and arthro-neuro-motor systems. Clinical skill development will focus on sharpening reasoning, observation, manual and intervention proficiency.
For the full course description, please visit our Foundations Course page.
