Based on the detailed assessment and custom designed treatment plan, the manual therapist will also design an individualized self care plan to eliminate complicated pain conditions forever and optimize athletic performance. Our all new client intake forms will be distributed, to allow all manual therapists to raise the bar in being respected by the health care system. Participants will be eligible to be a case study, and there will be hands on training in assessment and orthopedic testing as we look inside the human body at computerized 3D functional anatomy images for a number of complicated clinical conditions. New clinical studies, and cutting edge research, will be shared that will forever change the way the manual therapists looks at treating complicated musculoskeletal pain condition.
