Description

This course provides a step-by-step approach to lower cervical spinal manipulation. Each step equips the learner with a tool to assess the validity of their technique, regardless of the patient's condition. The course explains the biomechanical reasoning behind each movement, giving the practitioner greater predictability and confidence in the success of their technique. The approach mirrors that of martial arts, where the doctor/athlete performs each move without a patient, repeatedly practicing it to memorize the pattern. This method, called Kata-Chiro, is named after the "Kata" practiced in martial arts. The learner will be presented with common errors to avoid, accompanied by visual guidance to enhance patient safety. If you've performed cervical spinal manipulation without proper training or struggled to relax your patients, this course is designed for you. Perhaps you're overwhelmed by the various approaches seen on social media and unsure which to choose, especially concerning safety. This course provides clear answers. If you aim to practice spinal manipulation safely but feel apprehensive due to past experiences of roughness, you'll appreciate this class. It allows you to learn independently, practicing the techniques manually and memorizing them without a patient present. Each video highlights a key challenge and offers practical advice to the viewer. It is recommended to watch these lessons without holding a phone, as your hands need to be free to practice with a virtual patient. Many videos encourage the viewer to perform the steps themselves, as practicing is essential to learning.

Who this course is for:

  • If you’re performing spinal manipulation on your patients and feel uncomfortable treating the neck, unsure of the purpose behind each micro-move during setup, it’s time for a change. You deserve to feel secure in your treatments, offering extra gentleness to your patients. You want the ability to watch social media videos and instantly identify both mistakes and effective techniques. This course gives you the tools to discern between the right and wrong approaches with confidence.
