Alpine PT Embraces Maitland Approach to Manual Therapy - by brent dodge

Expert, Effective, Caring.
​
More than merely a tag line, these words set the bar for advanced physical therapy services at Alpine Physical Therapy. Casting these words creates direction for our company.

Although Alpine has a stellar reputation for providing expert manual therapy, we determined to take our expertise to a new level. To this end, we’ve encouraged our entire professional staff to pursue post-professional education toward manual therapy certification utilizing the Maitland approach.

We brought in a Maitland course presenter and held an in-house continuing education course last month in which most of our 15 PTs were present, along with several area PTs. The three-day training went smoothly, and the information and skills have proven themselves to be readily useful and effective.

Here is a picture in which Alpine’s Jamie Terry, DPT demonstrates specific shoulder treatments using the Maitland approach.

We’re getting ready to schedule our next in-house course in fall 2013.
