Thrust Manipulation of the Spine and Extremities

Cayuga Medical Center’s continuing education series has grown out of our well-respected Residency Program to meet the needs of clinicians looking for high-quality training offered here in the Northeastern US. Our teaching faculty includes physical therapists and athletic trainers with advanced training and subspecialty certification. Several of our instructors also teach in the physical therapy program at Ithaca College.

This course covers the history of manipulation, evidence for manipulative therapy, clinical reasoning and treatment models, safety of manipulation, patient rights and informed consent, state practice acts and APTA guidelines, joint anatomy and arthrokinematics, motion palpation , HVLA thrust manipulation techniques, and a review of case reports. Instruction will include lectures, lab time, and independent reading.
