Precision Neuromuscular Therapy for the Lower Extremity

19 Continuing Education Hours

Cost: $395 Review Rate: $225

In many ways, the lower body is the unsung hero of the muscular system. It has an enormous responsibility in providing both support and locomotion. To effectively treat the lower body, the therapist must understand the relationships and complexities of the musculature.

PNMT for the Lower Extremity begins with analysis and treatment of the SI joint area, a structure that belongs both to the upper and the lower body. We then slowly address each muscle group and move down the leg. With a balance of hands-on practice time and pertinent lecture, we will address conditions such as piriformis syndrome, knee pain, hamstring strains, plantar fascitis, and other common lower extremity pain patterns. We will also explore the role of leg and hip muscles in gait, low back pain, and structural symmetry. The class is filled with practical applications to conditions that are commonly seen in everyday practice. The class is structured upon precise manual techniques for incredibly thorough treatment interspersed with clinical applications to help the therapist know what muscles to treat and why to treat them.

In PNMT, we focus on helping you master the material, not just on presenting it. To that end, we will be evaluating and assessing each participant during the class to check your understanding of the material presented. At the end of class, an open book test will be given to help you clarify what you learned. If you have special needs, please let us know.
