Course Description

Because of a shift in our healthcare economy, many of our students have shared with us that they find it more and more difficult to delve deep with IMT because they are limited in time with their clients. More and more of our students and colleagues are working with insurance and/or persons that are limited in funds. Because of this feedback, we have created the Advanced Integration Course Series, providing our advanced students with learning on how to delve deeper into the advanced IMT coursework in less time. These classes provide the IMT practitioner with critical thinking and integration related to the material in the class. Each Advanced Integration Course will include material from several specifically listed advanced IMT courses that cover a similar topic. During the course, the instructor will provide the student with a deeper understanding of the material and how to use the techniques from the different classes in concert, particularly in situations where we are limited in time.

The Advanced Integration: Biomechanics Focus will integrate the following advanced IMT coursework:

  • Advanced Sacrum IMT
  • Advanced Spine
  • Toe Walking
  • Hip/Low Back course (including ‘Scotty Dog Series’)

Pre-requisites: Ideally, experience using Mobility Templates and Muscle Energy Technique as well as some participation in advanced IMT coursework. Students will be accepted into class if they have a strong background in biomechanics using another manual therapy approach (not IMT), however, the instructor of the course does not have ample time to review basic biomechanical treatment.

This class was so much fun. Having a strong background in mapping and exposure to much of the material in the past was extremely helpful. Much was review, but in an integrated way that improved my understanding of the whole process of addressing the spine. I have already seen the impact in my chronic pain pts, as I back up and clean up many of the pieces I'd been missing. I LOVE the online format, which allowed me to get information then use it at work, then return for more. Thanks so much for offering this class!

This course was fabulous. I may even repeat it in a few years time as a refresher. Our practice is always driven by our patients and we all have a tendency to get into a rut and forget some other great options to maximize our effectiveness. As well IMT is such a rich source of choices that it is wonderful to be re-thinking material that I do use all the time. One of the things I miss most about our frequent large classes is the opportunity to discuss IMT with other therapists. It also allows for more integration of material that has been taught piecemeal. I loved the new manual too and now have it on my laptop library.

Thank you for compiling this class! I found it extremely helpful and like there were several "missing pieces" for treating my patients. I'm seeing Scotty Dogs everywhere now- ha! Chris A. is a wonderful teacher and presents the material in a very clear, concise manner with great knowledge of the body.
