Course Description
The clinician learned to understand and apply manual therapy (MT) as a multifactorial method of impacting issues of voice and swallowing. Using a biopsychosocial approach to evaluation and intervention, the clinician utilized the evidence to support this MT model and, through hands-on experiences, learned immediately applicable clinical skills in the context of the diagnoses facing the SLP. This course content also fits within the framework of the massage, occupational, and physical therapist with an interest in this region. Areas of interest include: voice, swallowing, oral-motor disorders, tongue dysfunction, breathing limitations, pain, performance limitations, and more. 

Learning Objectives for Pre-Seminar Online Module
After successful completion of this online module, the therapist will:

  • Be able to compare and contrast the traditional “tissue-based” explanatory model of change with neurologically based models with respect to manual therapy.
  • Be able to describe the strengths and limitations of a postural/biomechanical evaluation and treatment-based approach.
  • Be able to describe the variations in explanations for manual therapy effects.

Learning Objectives for In-Person Workshop:
After successful completion of this online module, the therapist will:

  • Demonstrate the ability to apply an effective patient-directed method of manual therapy evaluation.
  • Describe and demonstrate the various treatment options in a manual therapy session, including cross handed, single handed, compression, gathering/lifting, and traction.
  • Describe options and apply effective treatment for the remediation of a variety of voice/swallowing and related disorders.
