Get a Grip on Sciatica: Assessment & Manual Therapy Solutions That Work Fast

$129.99 Standard

Whether you're a physical therapist trying to unwind faulty movement mechanics, a massage therapist navigating tricky pain referral patterns, or a chiropractor addressing spinal contributions, this training gives you evidence driven, hands-on strategies you can use immediately to treat sciatica.  

Today you have an incredible opportunity to tease out what’s actually contributing to your clients’ symptoms and design a customized treatment plan faster than you could before. 

Join Theresa Schmidt, PT, LMT, and with her multi-license clinical experience, you’ll learn how to masterfully tailor your treatment plan to any client - no matter what they respond best to… 

Nerve glides, myofascial mobilization, positional release, muscle energy, and more! 

And as added value, you’ll also learn how to adapt treatment to each client’s unique environment and lifestyle, so factors like: stress, anxiety, activity limitations, occupation, sleep positions – don’t derail your treatment goals. 

It's evidence informed. And it’s designed to help you think critically—not just follow routine protocols. Secure your spot today!
