Rob Hufgart: Advanced Clinical Assessments
RMT Master Class Series: March 14, 2009
In this lecture therapists will be introduced to the different types of assessment techniques available to Manual Therapists and taught how to differentiate between myofascial, osteoarticular and dural dysfunctions. Emphasis will be on the pelvis, thorax and upper cervical spine, and the importance of the anatomy and biomechanics of these regions will be discussed. Students should be immediately able to add the concepts into their treatments and will have a better understanding of what technique approach is appropriate for each dysfunction.
