Welcome to the Midwest Manual Therapy Seminars Therapy Institute.
For more than 15 years we have been equipping physical therapy professionals with advanced skills to further their careers. Our highly trained instructors give you the hands-on training and support you need to succeed.
This 2-day course has been approved for 15.0 hours through the KPTA and will focus on the Manual Therapy of the Lumbar Spine, Pelvis and Sacrum.
This is a usable skills course that teaches you to accurately assess and treat mechanical spine and pelvic dysfunction. The techniques used in this course have been proven clinically to restore function and therefore decrease a patients pain when current practices of algorithmic assessment and treatment have failed.
Date: August 10th and 11th, 2024
Primary courses at MMTS are taught by Pete Emerson, PT, MMTC. Pete has more than 25 years experience in manual therapy. He has taught throughout the United States and abroad, and was the keynote speaker at the 1997 and 1999 OCPPP Conference in England and a guest speaker at the 2000 APTA Conference in Denver. Pete is proficient in many aspects of manual therapy, including high-velocity spinal manipulation, MET, cranial mobilization, joint mobilization techniques and neuropathodynamic mobilizations.
Objective: To evaluate and treat dysfunctions of the Cranial System using manual therapy.
Treating the Cranium as a source of dysfunction has been around for decades. The importance and effectiveness of treating the Cranial system have been lost because of the presentation of “unseen energy” being the basis of cranial work. This class peels away all the mystery and gets to the basics and true benefits of Direct Cranial Mobilization.
We start with a detailed review and re-learning of Cranial anatomy, moving on to palpation to identify specific cranial landmarks. Then analysis of cranial movement is studied followed by assessment of cranial dysfunction and finishing with treatment of cranial dysfunction using concepts of sustained force loading to restore cranial mobility and function.
Included will be discussions on how the Cranium is a movable system and how Cranial dysfunction can be contributing factors in conditions such as headaches, neck pain, dizziness both vestibular and cervicogenic, lateral C1 dysfunction, post concussive syndrome and cranio-mandibular dysfunction (TMJ).
This course stresses a hands-on, aggressive approach as well as self-mobilization and a home exercise program. The course:
