This course is designed to encourage the therapist to compare some common
treatments used in physical therapy with evidence based medicine.
Some procedures presented in this course are unquestionably alternative
medicine, while some may cross the line into alternative medicine by the way it
is presented to the public. Included in this course is a rational and logical analysis of the following
non-traditional physical therapy treatments:
myofacial release, cranial-sacral therapy, spinal manipulation, rolfing,
reflexology, acupuncture, massage therapy, reiki, magnetic therapy, low level
laser therapy, biofeedback, yoga, meditation, tai chi, pilates, Feldenkrais
method, and Alexander technique. Background
or history of each technique is presented, followed by a brief summary and
author comments. This is an
informative, thought provoking, though controversial course for any physical
therapist or therapist assistant!
