S1 - Spinal Evaluation & Manipulation: Impairment Based, Evidence Informed Approach is organized by University of St. Augustine for Health Sciences (USAHS) and will be held from Mar 22 - 24, 2019 at Charleston, South Carolina, United States of America. Hours: 26 (includes 5 online hours) or 2.6 CEUs or 3 graduate credits Prerequisite: Intro S1 Webinar & Pre-course FCO - Home study (included with S1) Who Attends: Physical Therapists Description: This is a three-day seminar emphasizing interpretation of basic science knowledge toward the development of clinical skills needed for differential evaluation and effective treatment of spinal dysfunction. General principles of functional anatomy, tissue and joint biomechanics, pathology and treatments are applied to clinical examination and treatment. Includes instruction and techniques of evaluating structure, active movements and palpation for condition, position and mobility of the spine. Manipulation techniques are instructed at all levels of the spine except the subcranial area. Supportive treatments, such as exercises and distraction, are instructed and practiced to a limited degree. At the conclusion of the seminar, the student should feel confident to examine and treat most common spinal conditions. Learning Objectives: At the completion of this seminar, the attendee should be able to: • conduct a comprehensive physical examination of the spine • describe the mechanisms and characteristics of spinal pain and the behavior of pain patients • safely perform basic spinal manipulation techniques • observe, perform and demonstrate safe thrust techniques on thoracic and lumbar spine • discuss and present cases with spinal dysfunction • describe the indication and contraindications of spinal manipulation • demonstrate an appreciation of the role of therapeutic exercise and preventative measures in the management of spinal dysfunction

Dry Needling Part I - Instructed by Eric Krell, PT, DPT, Cert DN, MTC, MSKUS Cert is organized by University of St. Augustine for Health Sciences (USAHS) and will be held from Apr 05 - 07, 2019 at Charleston, South Carolina, United States of America. Hours: 25 or 2.5 CEU Prerequisite: None Who Attends: Physical Therapists Description: This 3 day seminar will provide the physical therapist with a thorough understanding of the history and current evidence regarding the use of Dry Needling in clinical practice.  The seminar will build a foundation on which the attendee may then integrate Dry Needling into clinical physical therapy practice.
