IMT Advanced Course - Manual Solutions for Immune Compromise ***CPD/CME Accredited***

Focus on the Treatment of Infection and Inflammation

This 3 day advanced Integrative Manual Therapy (IMT) lab course is part of a series called IMT for Biologic Medicine. Manual therapists (MD, DO, ND, DC, PT, OT, L.Ac, MT, IMT, other) typically treat dysfunction to reduce pain and improve function. This series of manual therapy seminars, called IMT for Biologic Medicine, is a new era for manual medicine: techniques to affect the tissues contributing to disease. The content of this course can be utilized to: reduce immune deficiency, increase immune competency, and decrease local, regional and systemic infection and inflammation. Discussions regarding immunology will provide the student with critical thinking and clinical reasoning, in order to begin to develop an expertise in this field. A multidisciplinary approach is best for treatment of infectious and/or inflammatory conditions. Other IMT seminars in this series which are geared toward the reduction and elimination of soft tissue and joint dysfunction contributing to infection and inflammation are: The Gastrointestinal Tract, Visceral Fascial Release, Inflammation, The Liver, The Lymphatic Series, and Irritable Bowel Syndrome.
