Achieved certifications in McKenzie Mechanical Diagnosis and Therapy, Manual Therapy, Dry Needling, and Sports Physical Therapy. Specializes in management of musculoskeletal injuries of the spine and extremities, and combining hands-on treatment with pain science education and exercise therapy.
LEARNING OUTCOMES ● Review the evidence that supports the use of IASTM, cupping therapy, and kinesiology taping ● Differentiate indications and contraindications for IASTM, cupping therapy, and kinesiology taping ● Categorize different techniques available for cupping and AISTM
● Predict how to effectively utilize IASTM, cupping therapy, and kinesiology taping for the lower body ● Relate how pain science education and the biopsychosocial (BPS) Model can be used to help your patients with their pain and improve occupational performance
