Cost: $160 for APTA members, $200 for non-members, $80 for APTA student members, $110 for student non-members
CEU: 8 contact hours (0.8 CEUs pending approval by CPTA)
Description: This comprehensive shoulder course will introduce the ‘Results Treatment Method (RTM)’ with instruction from the founder of RTM, Andreas Schenk, PT, RPT. Although this unique treatment approach can be applied to all regions of the body, this course will specifically focus on treating shoulder impingement related impairments. Through the application of the “RTM Theory”, attendees will explore and learn treatment concepts for the shoulder 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 dysfunction to achieve your patient’s highest potential.
About the Presenter: Andreas Schenk has over 30 years of clinical experience, beginning with his physical therapy education in Schaffhausen, Switzerland. After receiving his California Physical Therapy license in 1991, extensive training in various challenging environments influenced him to develop the proprietary “Results Treatment Method”. This method is utilized to treat patients with a whole body postural approach that influences a patient's proprioception and motor control to deliver effective results. He is the proud owner of a 20-year-old outpatient clinic Results Physical Therapy in Coronado, California.
