SURFACE ANATOMY AND PALPATION
Details:
Surface Anatomy and Palpation is an intensive, hands-on workshop designed to elevate your clinical palpation skills from basic competence to expert precision. In the world of manual therapy, orthopedic assessment, and musculoskeletal rehabilitation, the ability to accurately identify and palpate anatomical structures is not just a skill—it's a clinical superpower that separates good practitioners from exceptional ones.
This immersive 2-day workshop combines theoretical knowledge with extensive practical training, giving you the confidence to locate and assess muscles, bones, tendons, ligaments, and neurovascular structures with anatomical accuracy. You'll develop the tactile sensitivity and systematic approach needed to perform comprehensive physical examinations, enhance your diagnostic accuracy, and improve treatment outcomes.
