Comprehensive Treatment of the Knee (Oct 26 - 27, 2024)

Comprehensive Treatment of the Knee Course is organized by Great Lakes Seminars (GLS) and will be held from Oct 26 - 27, 2024 at TriStar Stone Crest Medical Center, Smyrna, Tennessee, United States of America.

Description:
This course solves the question of “What else can I do when I feel like I’ve tried everything for my knee patient?” We teach an entirely different way to treat the knee, with an emphasis on manual therapy. Treatment techniques include joint mobilizations, meniscal mobilizations and myofascial/soft tissue releases, as well as how to customize each mobilization to different patients and issues. Plus, multiple taping techniques will be demonstrated and practiced for dysfunctions at the patella and the tibio-femoral joints. You’ll also learn how dysfunctions above and below the knee can cause symptoms at the knee joint itself. Come learn how to feel confident you’ve left no stone unturned to accurately diagnose the root of knee issues!
