anatomical principles for the enhancement of patient care through manipulation and exercise isemphasized, as is the patient’s role in his/her own welfare. Prerequisite for this course is successfulcompletion of PHT 5135C, Musculoskeletal IV and the CPE Seminar “Advanced Evaluation andManipulation of the Pelvis, Lumbar and Thoracic Spine (S2)” offered by the University.PHT 6202 - Advanced Evaluation and Manipulation of the Hours: 2Pelvis, Lumbar and Thoracic Spine (S2)Anatomy and biomechanics of the pelvis, lumbar and thoracic spine are discussed in the onlinecoursework associated with the live version of this seminar. Review and modification of techniques fromS1, along with the instruction of additional techniques are provided. An in-depth presentation on thesyndromes of the lumbar spine and their treatment is instructed. The utilization of biomechanical andanatomical principles for the enhancement of patient care through manipulation and exercise isemphasized, as is the patient’s role in his/her own welfare. Prerequisites are completion of PHT 6201and the CPE seminar “Advanced Evaluation and Manipulation of the Pelvis, Lumbar and Thoracic Spine(S2)” offered by the University.PHT 6203E – Advanced Evaluation and Manipulation of the Hours: 2Cranio-Facial, Cervical and Upper Thoracic Spine (S3)Anatomy and biomechanics of the cranio-facial cervical and upper thoracic spine areas are discussed.Several techniques from S1 are reviewed along with modifications and instructions of additionaltechniques are provided. An in-depth presentation on the syndromes of the cervical spine, sub-cranialand thoracic outlet is included. The student has the opportunity to explore the classification of headachesand current treatment approaches. The utilization of biomechanical and anatomical principles for theenhancement of patient care through manipulation and exercise is emphasized, as is the patient’s role inhis/her own welfare. Prerequisites are completion of PHT 5135C, Musculoskeletal IV and the CPESeminar “Advanced Evaluation and Manipulation of the Cranio-Facial, Cervical and Upper ThoracicSpine (S3)” offered by the University.PHT 6203 - Advanced Evaluation and Manipulation of the Hours: 2Cranio-Facial, Cervical and Upper Thoracic Spine (S3)This course discusses basic science principles and develops clinical skills needed to complete adifferential examination and proceed to effective intervention of cranial, cervical and upper thoracicspinal impairments. General principles of functional anatomy, tissue and joint biomechanics, andpathology/syndromes are presented. Online discussions will encompass relevant research and clinicalapplication. Prerequisites are completion of PHT 6201 and the CPE seminar “Advanced Evaluation andManipulation of the Craniofacial, Cervical and Upper Thoracic Spine (S3),” offered by the University.PHT 6204E – Functional Analysis and Management of the Hour: 1Lumbo-Pelvic-Hip Complex (S4)This course emphasizes the application of basic sciences to clinical examination and treatment skills,management policies, and supportive services for dysfunction of the pelvic region. Instruction inadvanced technical and decision-making skills for the evaluation and treatment of pelvic dysfunction isprovided. Prerequisites are completion of PHT 5135C, Musculoskeletal IV and the CPE Seminar“Functional Analysis and Management of the Lumbo-Pelvic-Hip Complex (S4)” offered by theUniversity.114
