FLPT -> Continuing Edu. (April 12, 2002 7:01:00 PM)

I am a recent graduate working in a private practice setting. I am researching current continuing education offerings in the realm of manual therapy. Any advice on courses and /or certifcation programs would be much appreciated.

Thank you in advance,
David

David,

Check out Barrett Dorko's Simple Contact courses. He writes a lot on this site (News from Cuyahoga Falls) and on his own (www.barrettdorko.com) which is linked to this site. His course will be more valuable than you can imagine, most of all because he will help awaken you to a world of self-learning. His clinical science is rigorous and he plots a challenging, yet refreshing, path between traditional (and outmoded) forms of care and unreasonable, alternative methods. You will never attend a better course. He has an upcoming course in Lexington, KY, and a few other offerings this year. I highly recommend you look into it.

Best of luck,

Nick Matheson, PT

I highly recommend the NAIOMT and McKenzie courses.

I agree, Barrett's courses have an excellent reputation, and McKenzie certification is one of the PT specialties that is actually recognized, respected, and requested by physicians.

My advice: Be careful with cont ed courses. They are designed to give you CEU's based on hours taught, and my experience has been this: A simple topic is taken and stretched over the course of two days. With my busy life, I cannot stand sitting for two days, and then realizing they could have taught me everything in 2 hours! However, the CEU's would not have been obtained, and of course the instructors would not have made all that $$$$

Regards,

I'll put another vote in for NAIOMT. I've taken courses with all but one of the senior examiners. They are all excellent. The series of courses is very well put together. I wouldn't take all the courses from the same person. It is good to get some variety.
Shirley Sarhmann has some good courses as well. Very interesting to listen to.
Make sure you don't blindly accept everything that is taught. Even the best courses are going to have mistakes.

Since you live in Fl,I agree with edilling you might want to check into the University of St Augustine, (www.usa.edu, their courses are very well structured and are similar to the Ola Grimsby courses in that they can be applied to certification or even a higher degree, (Ola used to be one of Stanley Paris's instructors). On the Sahrman course I would get her book first(Diagnosis and treatment of Movement Impairment Syndromes, Mosby) before I went to the course, her info is exceptionally good but the approach is very biomechanical, and you may have alot of the info fly over your head if you aren't ready for it.
Good Luck,
Scott
