With a hands-on format, this workshop will empower participants to bridge the gap between having the tools and
applying them in effective combinations to make a difference in a patient’s life while improving outcomes and
management of complex clinical pathologies and dysfunctions. Using interactive case-studies, this lab-intensive
workshop will guide participants through effective treatment strategies using a combination of manual therapy,
therapeutic taping, and neuromuscular reactivation techniques that can be used on orthopedic, geriatric, neurological,
and sports medicine patients.
This one-day workshop focuses on the most effective taping and proper billing practices to ensure that you are not only
able to achieve superior clinical outcomes with your patients but are also able to receive full reimbursement for the
services rendered. A test-treat-retest methodology is practiced so that immediate effects of treatments can be modified
as needed for optimal effectiveness. After completing the workshop, participants will be able to immediately implement
the strategies you learned for immediate positive outcomes.
