THE ASSESSMENT AND TREATMENT OF LOW BACK PAIN
WITH RICK HORTON

In this workshop you will develop strong assessment skills as well as therapeutic techniques that address the most commonly injured structures in the low back area. You will learn how to differentiate muscle and ligament injuries from the more serious disk injuries. Palpation skills and hands-on treatment techniques are taught and fine-tuned. You are given ample time and frequent opportunities in the workshop to acquire these new skills.

There are six major components to the training.

Anatomy: Participants view, draw, and palpate the relevant musculoskeletal structures.

Assessment: Participants practice detailed history taking, palpation of injured structures, and over 25 specific musculoskeletal assessment tests for the low back.

Theory: This portion presents, in depth, how to use the history, positive assessment test findings, and results of palpation to determine which structures are injured. The possible causes of injury are discussed as well as effective treatments.

Integration: After learning the theoretical basis and assessment procedures, the participants integrate this information through hands-on learning games and mock clinics practiced under supervision.

Technique: Detailed treatment techniques to eliminate unwanted adhesive scar tissue are taught, practiced, and reviewed several times during the training.

Clinic: On the third day of the training participants practice their skills by taking part in an injury assessment
