Cost: $20 for members, $35 for non-members, free for students
CEU: 2 contact hours (0.2 CEUs approved by CPTA)
Description: This 2-hour online course will introduce the “Results Treatment Method (RTM)” developed by Andreas Schenk, PT, RPT. Although this unique treatment approach can be applied to all regions of the body in this course, we will focus specifically on the shoulder region and the influence of the pectoral muscles on glenohumeral joint mobility. Through application of the “12 Domains of Clinical Excellence” attendees will explore RTM treatment concepts and obtain helpful tools which can immediately be implemented into clinical practice. We will also share what makes RTM different from conventional interventions and encourage attendees to consider this process for treating shoulder pain and dysfunction in order to achieve your patient’s highest rehab potential.
