Weekend Seminars

12 CEU pr. Course (APIA Massachusetts)

In addition to our Certificate Programs, we also offer Weekend Seminars on varying topics in orthopaedics. In these seminars, we teach manual therapy skills, exercise concepts, and patient self-management techniques. Our Weekend Seminars are aimed to provide a snapshot view of orthopaedic manual therapy, facilitate thought processes, and reinvigorate licensed physical therapists’ skill sets. All Seminars will be held at host partner, Professional Physical Therapy Woburn, MA location.

Current research has confirmed that a combination of manual therapy, therapeutic exercises and patient education is the cornerstone of physical therapy treatment for patients with spinal dysfunction. However, during daily clinical practice it can sometimes be difficult to decide on optimal clinical decision making.
