Physical Therapists Learn to Diagnose and Treat Stubborn Hip, Knee and Foot Pain
Astoria, New York (PRWEB) October 26, 2014 -- Many physical therapists have had trouble treating patients with lingering foot and ankle pain long after a relatively mild or moderate ankle sprain. Often this can be due to things like a fixated talus, neuropathic pain or muscular trigger points.
The Comprehensive Manual Therapy Approach to Hip, Knee and Foot Pathology course will help to give PTs - and others dealing in this area of diagnosis and treatment - a clear understanding of the biomechanics of the ankle and offers a variety of strategies to help diagnose and treat such stubborn issues.
The course will be taught by experienced Hands-On Seminars instructor and clinical instructor with the University of Alberta, Kevin Okamura.
This comprehensive instruction will cover integrated, comprehensive techniques from the following approaches:
· Myofascial Trigger Point Therapy
· Muscle Energy Technique (MET)
· Strain & Counter Strain (SCS)
· Hip - Knee & Foot Mobilization - Manipulation
· Neurofascial Mobilization
· Hip - Knee & Foot Stabilization
· Proprioceptive Training
Those attending will further enhance their skills in differential diagnosis, and evaluation and treatment methods of Hip, Knee & Foot pathology.
