Course will review evidence-based evaluation and treatment methods focused on musculoskeletal dysfunction.  This will allow attendees to create a model for standardized methods which will ultimately enhance ability to achieve accurate differential diagnosis. 1.5CCUs

At the conclusion of the course, participants will be able to:

• Understand precautions, contraindications for STMOB, Manipulation
• Demonstrate key concepts of the 5 components of abnormal movement patterns 
• Discuss, review and demonstrate the concept of END FEEL for all tissues  
• Define, localize and treat (using MSK treatment tools) upper quarter/lower quarter myofascial, joint, nerve, visceral restrictions, and motor control, proprioceptive dysfunctions
