Upper Extremity Myofascial Chains: Identifying the Source of Dysfunction and Treatment Strategies
Course: #4297Level: Intermediate 3 Hours 3759 Reviews
This course is a concise resource for the practicing clinician to solve those ”mystery” diagnoses the next day due to vague symptoms and makes it hard to point to the exact source as it may be an etiology anywhere along the chain mimicking the symptoms. This course is directly related to the practice of physical therapy and athletic training and is therefore appropriate for the PT/PTA and AT.
