Best Course I’ve Taken!
​
Michael's course was excellent.
I learned all kinds of manual
therapy techniques that I was
able to apply the next day,
even a number of manipulation techniques.
​
His course is an eclectic curriculum taking the best from a number of other clinical experts like Mulligan, Bulter, Greenman and more.
Beyond the great manual skills I learned, it was a great review of anatomy, biomechanics, and patient psychology too. He really emphasized patient communication which I thought was extremely useful. Michael also took the time to discuss the patients I was having difficulty with back at my practice. It was just like a residency.
​
Of course with all the review, I felt very confident sitting for the OCS exam and passed it with flying colors the first time.
I would highly recommend Michael's course to anyone wanting to improve their patient care.

What We Do
Our Team of board certified specialist, residency and fellowship trained physical therapists teach and assist during lab time.
Lectures covering concepts related to current best evidence in advanced Orthopedic Physical Therapy and Manual Therapy begin each session. During lab, the course instructor places emphasis on evidence based evaluation and treatment of orthopaedic impairments, functional limitations and activity restrictions. Practice of excellent handling skills is emphasized during the lab sessions.
​
This predominately hands-on lab course provides consistent feedback throughout the year. Our team of Manual Therapy Fellowship trained instructors are always available to help you master the skills and concepts we teach. We keep the student to instructor ratio low (<14:1) to ensure that all participants receive the feedback they desire. Written exams and practical reviews are administered to help review the information covered.
