Exercise Prescription as a Complement to Manual Medicine

October 23, 2020 - October 26, 2020

This four-day program was developed in 1992 by Mark Bookhout, P.T. based upon the work of Vladimir Janda. This unique course is designed to complement the muscle energy biomechanical model. The exercises taught assist the participant in developing an individualized exercise program based upon the patient’s biomechanical findings and help to maintain the changes made after manual therapy treatment.
