Manual Therapy of the Cervical spine, TMJ and Upper Extremity (MT2)

This is a current method of diagnostic tissue differentiation and treatment progressions of the upper quarter to include the cervical, thorax, TMJ, and upper extremity dysfunctions relevant to sports and orthopedics. Weighted toward hands-on training, MT2 emphasize clinical reasoning for the application of manual therapy techniques, including techniques ofr spinal mobilization, extremity mobilization and extremity manipulation. Evidence based coursework provides guidelines to clinical reasoning skills necessary for the application of manual therapy techniques. This course is taught by  senior faculty, with an additional year of manual therapy training beyond the Fellowship year, utilizing these techniques daily in a clinical setting. 

Course Dates and Cities:

MT2 Cervical Spine, TMJ, Upper Extremity (Seattle, Washington) Jun 17-18, 2023
MT2 Cervical Spine, TMJ, Upper Extremity (Anchorage, Alaska) Mar 25-26, 2023

Course Objectives

Upon completion of MT-2 participants will be able to:

  • Describe the basic anatomy, biomechanics and pathology of the cervical spine, thorax, TMJ and upper extremity joints.
  • Evaluate the cervical spine, thorax, TMJ and upper extremities with an introduction to soft tissue treatments, joint mobilization/manipulation treatments, and dosed exercise progressions.
  • Describe the optimal stimuli for neuro-musculoskeletal repair.
  • Understand the dysfunctions related to regional inter-dependence of these areas
  • Understand how the anatomy, biomechanics and arthro-kinematics of a joint contribute to its function or dysfunction.
  • Relate the neurology, pathophysiology and pain to the dysfunction and to the appropriate treatment.
  • Evaluate dysfunction of the different tissues in all extremity joints and identify the signs and symptoms of joint pathology.
  • Select and apply an appropriate treatment program utilizing the optimal stimuli for histological regeneration of all extremity tissues.
  • Apply various techniques for articulation and mobilization as well as other current PT modalities with skill and accuracy.
  • Recognize the indications and contraindications for the use of articulation and mobilization procedures.
