Indirect Functional Approach

Indirect, Functional Approach to Manual Medicine

Prerequisites:  Principles of Manual Medicine and Muscle Energy Part I

Description: This is a three-day tutorial-style course with an emphasis on hands-on practice.  The functional approach was described in the osteopathic literature in the 1950s.  This course was inspired by the work of George Laughlin, D.O., A.T. Still’s grandson.  The course offers indirect treatment options, especially useful in painful or chronic conditions; application of the principles of indirect, functional treatment to all areas of the body; opportunity to improve palpation skills; single treatment for organizing and sequencing manual treatments.

Objectives: Upon completion of this course, the participant will be able to: 1) identify indications, involved mechanisms, and principles of indirect, functional techniques; 2) demonstrate and practice application of functional technique to vertebral column, ribs, upper and lower extremity and pelvis; 3) recognize clinical applications of functional techniques; 4) practice screening for area of greatest restriction; and 5) design treatment sequence based on screening.
