This ~2.25 hour course covers the science that explores the mechanisms of how manual therapy works as well as what contributes to the clinical outcomes we observe in practice.
This course will help you hone your skills at helping people in many evidence-based ways, in addition to the passive modalities you already successfully employ. This course is for those who are keen to modernize their knowledge base and align the narratives that they deliver with the current evidence base.
Here is a small sampling of the questions the course looks to answer:
→ How much of a positive clinical outcome is due to the modality that I perform on a person?
→ How much of a positive clinical outcome is due to other factors such as natural history, placebo, etc.?
→ How does manual therapy work? Are we ‘realigning’ things? Are we ‘releasing’ things? etc.
→ What should I be telling people that I am doing when I perform manual therapy on them?
→ If I am not ‘fixing’ someone’s posture/asymmetry/biomechanics, how can I help them?
→ Can I be more than the passive modalities (massage, mobilization, manipulation) I am known for?
→ What do people expect in a session with me?
→ Does the degree to which the session meets their expectations impact clinical outcomes?
→ How do I learn what someone’s expectations are and how do I meet them?
→ What are treatment fundamentals and how can they help me with the toughest cases I encounter?
→ What is the easiest way to be more evidence-based?
You will take away information and skills that you will be able to immediately incorporate into your clinical practice to the benefit of your patients!

I also thank you for putting current research in the course, as I don't always take the time to find current and relevant research and you package it up so nicely. Your fundamentals of treatment are also a great guideline. I look forward to more courses with you.

Read MoreThis course was awesome. A perfect length, a clear message and well delivered. Thanks Marcus! While I was familiar with some of the concepts I was happy with how you dove into how this practice fits into our daily work life; loved the examples of the different ways we can communicate with our patients and how you validated that what we feel is real, it's just the reasoning behind what we think is happening might not actually be accurate. Thank you!
Read LessI highly recommend the Science Behind Manual Therapy and Clinical Outcomes course. I'd love to see this integrated into health care education as the foundation of clinical practice.
