Gait Analysis: Simplified for the Practicing Clinician

The gait analysis course is a 4 hour course, 1 hour lecture and 3 hours hands-on lab. Typically, the course is an add-on to the Lower Quarter PRT course. In this course, you will:

• examine common biomechanical faults that lead to somatic dysfunction
• learn how to identify biomechanical faults through use of video and orthopedic examination in laboratory and
• learn corrective orthotic and exercises to address biomechanical faults 

At the end of this course, students should be able to:

1. List 5 common biomechanical faults that cause injury and somatic dysfunction
2. Be able to describe how at least three biomechanical faults cause injury and somatic dysfunction
3. Be able to perform a basic video analysis of gait with a hand-held video device
4. Identify a minimum of three biomechanical faults on video analysis of a patient
5. Be able to articulate how a gait analysis can be integrated into an overall treatment plan for treatment of somatic dysfunction

Positional Release Therapy: An Evidence-Based Update

In this introductory course, participants will be introduced to the evidence and theory supporting the use of positional release therapy (PRT) for a wide-variety of medical conditions. Positional Release Therapy (PRT) also known by its parent term, Strain Counterstrain, is a form manual therapy that resolves pain and somatic dysfunction. Through positioning the body and tissues in positions of comfort, the neurological system can be manipulated to interrupt the pain spasm cycle and over time, to reset the resting length of tissue in a "normal" range, which promotes a reduction in pain, increase in strength, range of motion, performance and function. Essentially, PRT is the opposite of stretching. Much like unkinking a knot from a chain necklace, PRT works in the same fashion; tissues are pushed together, twisted, compressed and manipulated to take tension off vessels and nerves. The therapy is pain-free and is suited for all ages and most painful conditions and only requires the hands. The primary goal of PRT is to promote a positive healing environment by correcting musculoskeletal and neurological imbalances to facilitate tissue regeneration, growth, and repair in order for the body to self-correct itself.
