S-910 Lower Quadrant Dry Needling = 34.5 In-Person Hours

Dry Needling (DN) is a powerful, adjunctive tool for the orthopaedic manual physical therapist. This course is designed to bridge the gap between DN theory to how this tool can be integrated into clinical practice seamlessly by presenting a case based approach to DN with an emphasis on clinical reasoning in order to provide first time exposure and education to clinicians on DN as well as review and improve effective technique with clinicians currently utilizing DN.

Participants will cover the most commonly implicated muscles involved with frequently encountered lower quadrant musculoskeletal dysfunctions. With concerns about complications from the invasive nature of dry needling, ample amount of lab time will be spent on surface anatomy and palpation to ensure accurate location of relevant regional anatomy and safety of technique.

Mobility patterns of the upper and lower quadrant system are studied, and the central and spinal neurophysiological factors determining normal and abnormal movement patterns. Management strategies include education, activity modification, manual therapy techniques, and individualized neuromuscular rehabilitation prescription, with the goal of restoring optimal function and preventing future health conditions and impairments. Participants will incorporate techniques into evidence-informed clinical practice guidelines for specific upper quadrant movement impairments and interpret relevant outcomes measures to guide treatment progression.

Cleared to Throw: Manual Therapy for the Overhead Athlete = 12.0 hours

This 1 1/2-day is designed to equip the sports medicine professional with the skills to confidently manage the overhead throwing athlete. Developed for physical therapists and athletic trainers alike, Day 1 focuses on assessment and examination of the upper quarter joints, then moves into a hands-on, lab-based demonstration of the most commonly used manual therapy techniques for treating spinal and extremity disorders in this population. Participants will learn the systematic process of prepping a thrower for their start date — including the rationale behind each procedure — and explore how a thorough understanding of throwing biomechanics can inform provisional diagnoses for cervical, thoracic, and lumbar disorders. Day 2 shifts to shoulder care and recovery, and addresses the role that analytics, wearable technology, and workload monitoring play in managing the physical and biomechanical demands placed on these athletes. By the conclusion of the course, participants will have the confidence and clinical framework needed to manage the challenges faced by this unique population.
