Direct Action Thrust

Direct Action Thrust: Mobilization with Impulse

Prerequisite:  Principles of Manual Medicine and Muscle Energy Part I (Advanced Muscle Energy strongly recommended).

Description: This is a four-day intensive course of lectures, demonstrations, and small group practice sessions on the principles and use of direct action high-velocity manipulative technique. Emphasis will be placed upon the spine, pelvis, and thoracic cage.

Objectives: Upon completion of this course, the participant will be able to: 1) diagnose somatic dysfunction of the vertebral column, pelvis, and thoracic cage; 2) recognize the principles of high-velocity technique including the cavitation phenomena; 3) identify components of somatic dysfunctions that are most amenable to direct action thrust manipulative technique; 4) apply direct action thrust technique to all of the regions of the vertebral column, pelvis, and rib cage; 5) recognize the role of long and short lever control; development of a fulcrum and application of force from a lever to a fulcrum in direct action thrust technique; 6) recognize relative and absolute contraindications and possible complications from these techniques.
