Description

Chronic. Debilitating. Challenging.  Clinicians are often stumped by the wide array of diagnoses and presentation of low back pain. With the myriad of impairments related to LBP, you need streamlined evaluation techniques and interventions that get results fast. 

Many patients do not respond favorably to the typical exercise regimens prescribed for LBP.  No time for manual therapy?  Think again - there’s a reason patients are willing to pay for massage therapy sessions out of pocket! In this training, you’ll discover  

  • Fast and easy techniques that you can use immediately 
  • How to quickly pinpoint lumbar spinal impairments and restricted areas 
  • Techniques that save your hands!  

This training will shine a light on providing patient-centered care while utilizing CPGs to inform decisions and stay within reimbursement guidelines.  You’ll learn what exam tools to use based on the CPGs for fast classification of LBP categories that will benefit from tissue mobilization, and specific techniques to free up restrictions and ease pain.  Discover fast and easy methods to release mobility restrictions in the low back to get people moving freely without pain rapidly.
