"Spinal HVLA Thrust Techniques. A Physiotherapeutic approach"
Manipulation techniques also known as High Velocity Low Amplitude techniques are very popular among therapists and patients for their fascinating effect. These techniques refer to spinal and peripheral manipulations. Although the mechanism of action is not purely biomechanical, when used within a proper clinical reasoning framework, they provide not only pain relief, but improvement in function as well.
This 3-days hands on seminar is designed to help participants to develop their handling skills and learn how to perform HVLA techniques for the extremities and the spine, within their manual therapy treatment strategy.
Course agenda:
- Basic biomechanics of the spine that are related with HVLA techniques
- Safety measures and precautions when performing HVLA techniques
- Indications and contra-indications for HVLA techniques
- Clinical reasoning framework on how to choose the proper techniques
