• Cervical Spine - OA & AA
• Sacro Iliac Joint - SIJ
• Gleno - Humeral Joint - G/H
• Elbow
• Wrist
• Hand
• Foot

Learning Outcomes:

• Demonstrate a consolidation of existing knowledge and performance in pre-thrust spinal positioning for HVT thrust techniques
• Demonstrate a consolidation of existing knowledge and performance in the use of HVT thrust techniques for the spine, thorax, pelvis and peripheral manipulation techniques
• Describe and demonstrate minimal leverage, long and short lever techniques

OMT Advanced Spinal Manipulation is tailored to meet the needs of participants in addressing frequently encountered problems with the safe and effective delivery of specific HVT thrust techniques, it looks to build your existing knowledge within HVT spinal manipulation and developing and refining your current skill base.
