About the course
Capri strongly believes that a successful clinician’s foundation lies in strong and accurate orthopedic assessment to deliver qualitative and appropriate treatment. This comprehensive 8 days’ certificate course lays strong emphasis on orthopedic manual therapy to provide clinicians with intensive tuition to perform an accurate and specific manual therapy examination according to the patient’s needs. The examination & treatment process developed by CIMT draws on the work of various NUMERO UNO in Manual Therapy like Butler, Edwards, Elvey, Maitland, McConnell, McKenzie, Shacklock, and several taping concepts.
We inculcate in the clinicians the art of subjective and physical examination from Manual Therapy point of view rather than spoon feeding the therapist with a dead-end protocol.
