Course Description:
This 14-hour course is designed to give the learner a good understanding of the practical applications of treating and managing difficult, however common, conditions in the general population. These conditions include but not limited to: Osteoarthritis, Labrum tears, joint restrictions, hip Adhesive Capsulitis, knee injuries, Metatarsalgia, Hallux Valgus, Tibialis posterior tendon weakness and tendinopathies, Plantar Fasciitis and Morton’s Neuroma. Learn the theory and application of End Range Loading Techniques, nerve tension and joint mobilizations. This is to improve range of motion, balance, proprioception, and nerve function, to reduce pain and increase functional activities. All this is incorporated around patient centered care.
Objectives:
The participant will be able to apply/manage/treat/discuss:
- Indications, contraindications and safety with the application of said techniques for the patient and therapist.
- Rule of Threes, Type One and Type Two spinal dysfunction.
- Quick and efficient assessment techniques for the spine for restriction and mobility.
- Joint mobilization glide techniques and stretches to the lumbar spine, thoracic vertebrae, and rib cage.
- End-Range Loading techniques and Contractile Myofascial Release for the intervertebral discs, facet joints, and facia.
- The Arthrokinetic Stabilization Belt for correct isolation of intended tissues to apply the end-range mobilization techniques.
- Neural and dural glide and tensioning techniques for the dura mater and nerves of the spine include the intercostal nerves, femoral nerve, sciatic nerve, and sacrococcygeal plexus.
- Conditions such as Spinal Stenosis, Degeneration Disc Disease, Sciatica, Thoracic Outlet Syndrome, Facet sSyndrome, Impacted Synovial Meniscoid, Relative Capsular Ribrosis, and rib dysfunctions.
- Treatment applications and discussion with patient-centered care in mind.

What is End Range Loading Therapy or Techniques?
End Range Loading Techniques (ERL) is essentially taking tissue (nerves, tendons, discs, connective tissue) into a position of tension and then applying an overpressure to stretch and/ or glide the affected tissue to assist with improved function and reduced pain.”
