Description

Manual Therapy is a specialized treatment approach that consists of hands-on techniques including joint mobilization, massage, and other interventions designed to mobilize joints, activate muscles, connective tissues, and stimulate nerves in order to facilitate healing and restore optimal function. This program is designed to teach canine rehabilitation practitioners’ canine peripheral joint and spinal biomechanics, and manual therapy techniques inclusive of joint mobilization, massage, and range of motion. Our courses are designed to provide clinicians with practical techniques that will change the way they practice and help patients achieve maximal outcomes.

This course is designed to teach the basic principles of manual therapy including massage/soft tissue mobilization, and joint mobilization, with an emphasis on the extremities.  Participants will combine online lecture material and hands-on experience with dogs as they learn these techniques.  Manual therapy concepts and evidence-based rationale for treatment selection are covered in depth.  Developing goal-focused treatment plans and assessing outcomes in canine rehabilitation patients will also be covered.

This program is delivered in a hybrid format of online lecture, hands on lab sessions, case studies and an online exam.

Learning Objectives

At the completion of this program, students will be able to:

Part I:  Manual Therapy:  Introduction, Assessment and Techniques

  • Have a working knowledge of the appendicular system, including bones, joints, articular surfaces, ligaments, muscles, and soft tissues.
  • Comprehend various selected manual therapy techniques including massage/soft tissue mobilization and joint mobilization.  Participants are encouraged to actively participate online and practice on their available animals.
  • Discuss the indications, precautions and contraindications to various manual therapy techniques (massage/soft tissue mobilization and joint mobilization).
  • Understand the basic principles of massage/soft tissue mobilization.
  • Understand the basic principles of joint mobilizations with an emphasis on the extremities along with normal and abnormal end feels.
  • Describe the common classifications of joint mobilization grades.
  • Determine how and when to incorporate massage/soft tissue mobilization and joint mobilization into a treatment regiment
  • Discuss trigger points, their etiology and management
  • Discuss muscle spasms, their etiology and management
  • Understand outcome measures and assessment techniques to guide the treatment progression

Part II:  Joint Mobilizations of the Spine

  • Identify the anatomy of the spinal anatomy inclusive of palpation, individual sections, and areas of the vertebrae.
    • Cervical
    • Suboccipital region
    • Thoracic
    • Thoracic with relation to ribs
    • Lumbar
    • Lumbosacral region
    • Pelvis
  • Identify the individual components of the vertebra inclusive of the spinous process, transverse process and facet joints.
  • Identify the spinous and transverse processes of the available vertebrae independently
  • Understand the functional anatomy of the spine as it relates to movement
  • Understand the motions of flexion, extension, side flexion and rotation at each level of the spine
  • Understand the individual movement of the spinal regions independently and how it relates to the appendicular skeleton
  • Understand the principles of Maitland mobilization as it applies to the spinal movement with regard to grades I to IV
  • Learn to assess end feel for each level of the spine and apply graded movements appropriately to manage pain and stiffness at each individual level of the spine

Prerequisites

DVMs, LVTs, PTs, DCs (American Veterinary Chiropractic Association) must all have completed (or have completed the majority) of their CCRP or CCRT/CCRA training.
