PT 725 Musculoskeletal Physical Therapy III

2 Credits

Building upon the concepts and techniques that were learned in Musculoskeletal Physical Therapy I-II, Musculoskeletal Physical Therapy III focuses primarily upon improving clinical skills in evaluating and treating spinal disorders. Through the use of online modules, a review of the functional anatomy and biomechanics of the spine and the pain-producing capabilities of the different tissues that compose the spine is conducted. Class time is dedicated to laboratory work and screening for medical and/or non-organic disorders, examination techniques for all areas of the spine, and interventions including high-velocity thrust for spinal disorders.
