Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization (IASTM)

Research: Movement and Corrective Exercise

Joint manipulations for the cervical spine. Types of manipulations, manipulations vs. mobilizations of the spine and cervical spine. Optimal intervention for forward head, shoulders elevate, arms fall, cervicogenic headache, radiculopathy, posture, jaw, shoulder, and elbow dysfunction. The risk of adverse events, accuracy vs sensitivity, screening, reliability, and validity of cervical spine manips. 

Joint Manipulation: Cervical Spine

Assessment and reliability of joint mobilizations and manipulations of the cervical, thoracic, lumbar, and sacroiliac joints. Effects of mobilizations and manipulations on the range of motion (ROM), inter- and intra- therapist reliability, force, manipulation grades, types of manips and mobs, and outcomes.

Joint Mobilization and Manipulation: Palpation, Assessment, and Reliability

Joint manipulations for the thoracic spine. Types of manipulations, manipulations vs. mobilizations of the spine and thoracic spine. Optimal intervention for cervical pain, CTJ, shoulder pain, TMJ, elbow pain, thoracic spine pain, forward head, arms fall, scapula elevates, and epicondylitis (epicondylalgia). The risk of adverse events, accuracy vs sensitivity, screening, reliability, and validity of thoracic spine manips. 

Joint Manipulation: Thoracic Spine

Joint manipulations for the lumbar spine, sacroiliac joint, and pubic symphysis. Types of manipulations, manipulations vs. mobilizations of the spine, lumbar spine, SI joint, and pubic symphysis. Optimal intervention for anterior pelvic tilt, low back pain, inadequate forward lean, asymmetrical weight shift, sacroiliac joint dysfunction, knee bow in, knee bow out, and hip symmetry. The risk of adverse events, accuracy vs sensitivity, screening, reliability, and validity of lumbar spine, SIJ, and pubic symphysis manips.

Joint Manipulation: Lumbar Spine, Sacroiliac Joint and Pubic Symphysis

Joint manipulations for the wrist and elbow. Types of manipulations, manipulations vs. mobilizations of the wrist and elbow. Optimal intervention for elbow pain, lateral epicondylitis (epicondylalgia), wrist pain, and carpal tunnel syndrome. The risk of adverse events, accuracy vs sensitivity, screening, reliability, and validity of wrist and elbow manips.

Joint Manipulation: Elbow (Radial Head) and Wrist

Joint manipulations for the ankle, midfoot, and tibiofibular joint. Types of manipulations, manipulations vs. mobilizations of the cuboid, talonavicular, and proximal tibiofibular joint. Optimal intervention for chronic ankle instability, balance, ankle sprains, vertical jump height, heel pain, knee bow in, knee bow out, feet flatten, feet turn out, excessive forward lean, and asymmetrical weight shift. The risk of adverse events, accuracy vs sensitivity, screening, reliability, and validity of ankle, midfoot, and tibiofibular manips.
