Megan Douglas , PT, DPT, MTC, OCS
This 2-hour session consists of a brief synopsis of the manual therapy portion of a thoracolumbar evaluation. Included is a brief review of lumbar and thoracic spine biomechanics, some common and useful manipulations, and manual techniques to help decrease lumbar and/or thoracic spine pain with or without radiculopathy. Also highlighted are common diagnoses such as disc pathology with/without radiculopathy, facet joint dysfunction and instabilities. Research will be available and briefly presented to support evidence-based practice and the use of manual therapy to treat the lumbar and thoracic spine.
