Many of my peers struggled as their CMT treatment protocols focused mainly on the neck. Other asymmetries in the body remained untouched, leaving young patients with minimal progress. Small results were better than nothing, but I knew they could do more. The problem was... they had no idea how to.
Having years of experience in neurological, orthopedic and pediatric PT, I knew that there was more to the problem of torticollis than just the neck posture. The 7 body structure exam changed everything! With this evidence-based protocol, you’ll be able to:
I’ll show you exactly how I approach each case of CMT, from in-depth evaluations to the most current clinical practice guidelines, in my brand-new online course Evidenced- Based Examination and Treatment of Congenital Muscular Torticollis: Looking Beyond the Neck for Better Results
After more than 20 years in pediatric settings, I’ve created this step-by-step course to share this transformative insight to help you assess and treat your young patients. You’ll learn alternative approaches and proven treatment interventions that gradually lengthen and strengthen the muscles to correct CMT, without making your patients feel uncomfortable.
You’ll also be able to ease parents’ fears with a family education portion that will extend your treatment beyond your patient’s sessions. Walk away feeling confident in your approach when you discover the effective interventions you’ll gain in this seminar!
