Goals and objectives
This course is an overview on the mechanical actions of vertebral manipulation in an advanced msk context. It will focus on the diversity of available approaches towards the use of manipulations. The clinician will be able to explore those approaches and personalize that therapeutic gesture. As for the teachers, it will provide tools towards knowledge/ability translation. It is not aimed towards literature search but more on the hands-on reality.
1) Goals (clinician)
Be able to recognize the different strategies used to perform spinal manipulation
Acquire some tools in order to adapt those strategies according to:
The clinician’s morphology
His/her temperament
The patient’s morphology
The patient’s physical/psychological state
Integrate these notions in the everyday clinical context to make it a custom-made clinical tool
2. Goals (mentor/instructor)
Master the general teaching concepts of spinal manipulations
Develop his/her observational skills as an instructor
Use of standard / more frequently used teaching material
Recognize the difficulties of the apprentice and determine its source(s)
Offer one or more avenues to enhance the participant’s efficiency (more or less randomly)
Offer the most efficient modification (with teaching experience)
In preparation for this course, the participants will be asked the manipulation(s) they struggle the most with, so we will be able to custom-make each session.
