Course Description:  Manual Therapy Pearls For Spine Conditions It's typical to walk away from a good continuing education course with one or two "clinical pearls", things that you can apply Monday morning that will have a significant impact on your practice and patient outcomes. Imagine an entire course of "clinical pearls" that can be used to treat patients with challenging spine conditions. Participants learn manual therapy interventions routinely used by expert clinicians. Most are supported by research and others by years of clinical experience. Participants will leave this course with manual therapy skills and treatment strategies they can apply immediately. The course is intended for the novice and experienced clinician and will facilitate critical thinking and clinical reasoning
