Unlock the Power of Precision in Spinal Manipulation


Are you looking to elevate your skills in treating spinal dysfunction and improving patient outcomes? This two-day masterclass on Thoracic & Lumbar Spine Manipulation techniques is designed to provide manual therapists with the essential knowledge and hands-on experience to master the diagnosis and treatment of spinal conditions using High-Velocity Thrust (HVT) and mobilisation techniques.

​

Why Attend?

 

The thoracic and lumbar spine are crucial areas of the body responsible for supporting posture, mobility, and overall musculoskeletal function. This masterclass will dive deep into the anatomy, biomechanics, and therapeutic approaches to these regions. By the end of the course, you'll be equipped with the advanced tools to assess, diagnose, and treat conditions of the spine, addressing common issues like low back pain, spinal misalignment, and thoracic dysfunction. Whether you’re an osteopath, chiropractor, or manual therapist, this course is designed to help you deliver exceptional care.

 

What You Will Learn:


 

Day 1: Anatomy, Assessment & Palpation Techniques


Anatomy of the Thoracic & Lumbar Spine

  • Comprehensive exploration of the vertebrae, intervertebral discs, and ligaments in the thoracic and lumbar regions.

  • Understand how the biomechanics of these areas affect the overall function of the spine and posture.


Common Spinal Conditions
