Learning objectives include:
- Definition of manipulation
- Regional Biomechanical Assessment
- Proposed Effects of mobilization / manipulation
- Indications for mobilization / manipulation
- Contraindications for mobilization / manipulation
- Managing adverse reactions
- Obtaining consent for mobilization / manipulation
