COMT-3: Thoracic Spine - Integrated Concepts & Modern Management

This case-based, lab-focused course features human movement and high performing PT management of the thoracic spine and rib cage. Participants will screen and analyze the role of the thoracic spine in upper and lower quadrant movement, incorporating the patient's health conditions, pain presentations, and relevant biopsychosocial factors. Mobility patterns of the upper and lower quadrant system are studied, and the central and spinal neurophysiological factors determining normal and abnormal movement patterns. Management strategies include education, activity modification, manual therapy techniques, and individualized neuromuscular rehabilitation prescription, with the goal of restoring optimal function and preventing future health conditions and impairments. Participants will incorporate techniques into evidence-informed clinical practice guidelines for specific upper and lower quadrant movement impairments and interpret relevant outcomes measures to guide treatment progression.
