Event Information

Course Description

Manual therapy has long been seen as an expert-driven stretching or tissue impact model that reduces or corrects local pathology. However, newer research positions manual therapy as a form of communication to the patient’s brain, allowing them to contribute to change.

This course uses newer multifactorial impact research to position tongue-based manual therapy under the umbrella of such evolutions. 
Using a shared decision-making intervention model, this course will allow the learner to incorporate manual therapy in the tongue region for issues relating to articulatory disorders, oral motor delays, post-surgical and post-radiation disorders, airway issues, and swallowing/voice concerns. 

Learning Outcomes

The participant will be able to:

  1. Describe how manual therapy influences reach far beyond correcting local tissue faults.

  2. Tell how shared decision-making can be incorporated into manual therapy interventions.
  3. Be capable of applying a range of tongue-based manual therapy interventions for the remediation of oral motor, swallowing, voice, and airway concerns.
  4. Define how to combine tongue-based manual therapy with exercise to build awareness and function.
