Course Details
Manual Therapy in Voice/Swallowing Disorders: Hands-On Online Course
Course Description
The clinician learned to apply the evidence for and techniques of manual therapy as a multifactorial method of impacting issues of voice and swallowing. By using a biopsychosocial approach, the SLP understood how a patient-led model optimizes clinical outcomes. Through lecture and demonstration videos, the SLP saw how theory flows into practice and was given opportunity to practice with a partner.
ASHA Learning Objectives
After successful completion of this online module, the therapist will:
1. Be able to compare and contrast the traditional “tissue-based” explanatory model of change with neurologically based models with respect to manual therapy.
2. Be able to describe the strengths and limitations of a postural/biomechanical evaluation and treatment-based approach.
3. Be able to describe the variations in explanations for manual therapy effects.
4. Be offered the ability to apply an effective patient-directed method of manual therapy evaluation.
5. Through observation of demonstrations and lab experiences, had the opportunity to explore the various hands-on treatment options in a manual therapy session, including cross handed, single handed, compression, gathering/lifting, and traction.
6. Be exposed to multiple options and applications for effective treatment for the remediation of a variety of voice/swallowing and related disorders.
7. Be asked to apply the learned material first with a partner at home, followed by incorporating the work into their caseload.
