Joint Thrust Part 1 – CT Junction to Mid Thoracic Spine

This pop-up course provides a comprehensive introduction to joint thrust techniques focused on the cranio-thoracic (CT) junction to the mid-thoracic spine. Participants will learn the anatomy, indications, contraindications, and hands-on application of thrust techniques for enhanced patient outcomes.

The course will cover a variety of techniques, including distraction methods, seated techniques, as well as approaches for both supine and prone positions, along with High-Velocity Low-Amplitude (HVLA) techniques.

Course Objectives

• Understand the anatomy and biomechanics of the CT junction and mid-thoracic spine.
• Learn the principles and indications for joint thrust techniques.
• Develop practical skills in safely and effectively applying thrust techniques in clinical practice.
• Enhance assessment and treatment strategies for patients with thoracic dysfunction.

Pop-up courses are customizable sessions designed primarily to review previously learned techniques and lectures while also introducing additional taping methods that were not included in the certification course.
