NAIOMT provides a complete, seamless post-professional education pathway for physical therapists wanting to become experts in clinical reasoning. We aim to help manual physical therapists achieve the highest standards of clinical practice and effectively treat complex patient problems. One of the ways we achieve this is through continued innovation in the types of courses we offer so that our physical therapists are better prepared to service a variety of client populations. Our newest addition to NAIOMT’s course schedule is Manual Therapy for the Sports Physical Therapist.

What Does Manual Therapy for the Sports Physical Therapist Cover?

This comprehensive, clinically based course focuses on manual therapy and exercise for sports rehabilitation of the upper and lower extremities. Participants will gain confidence in diagnosing various sports injuries, understand loads on the body, and appreciate the anatomy and function of different structures. The hands-on training emphasizes subjective and objective assessments and the design of tailored rehabilitation and in-season manual therapy programs for common upper and lower limb sports injuries, all backed by the latest research. Spinal manipulation, cupping, dry needling, mobilizations, and dynamic mobility drills are all included. By course completion, attendees will be well-prepared to apply evidence-based practices, facilitating athletes' safe return to play.
