General Information About Our Courses

Courses are typically held over 3 full days, starting at 8:00 a.m. and lasting until 5:00 p.m. Participants receive a supplementary manual for use during the training sessions. Textbooks are available at the course for a discounted fee (see Fees page) and are highly recommended. In addition, participants are encouraged to bring note-taking materials, skeletal models, and clincial reports with appropriate imaging studies for discussion.

Courses have been approved for Physical Therapy Continuing Education Units. The IAOM-US is an approved provider for the BOC.

Full details on course content, teaching locations, available lodging, and local transportation are provided upon receipt of registration. Course contact persons can provide information in advance.

Guarantee your reservation with only a credit card number prior to any IAOM-US course. We can delay processing until a week prior to the course, if requested.

Our Course Objectives

We strive to bring participants to a level whereby they can:

• Explain pathoanatomy, physiology, and biomechanics of the specific joint complex being studied.
  
  
• Conduct a concise clinical examination and determine a precise diagnosis.
  
  
• Perform effective local treatment of soft tissue lesions through an accurate understanding of surface anatomy and tissue physiology.
  
  
• Restore normal mobility of the joint by means of specific treatment techniques based on up-to-date arthrokinematic studies.
  
  
• Establish an effective exercise program based on affliction-specific considerations.

Our Courses Feature:

• Individualized attention assured by a low student-to-teacher ratio.
  
  
• Relaxed, but professional, atmosphere.
  
  
• Joint-specific focus (see schedule of classes).
