The seminar is addressed to Physiotherapists, Osteopaths, Chiropractors and Physicians, graduates of Higher Education Institutes or Technological Educational Institutes, or equivalent schools.

Course’s language is English with simultaneous translation to Greek.

LLLC, EPIMORFOSIS intents to organize a HVLA Thrusts Techniques in Cervicothoracic & Lumbopelvic Region course with Dr. Sean O. Flannagan (MPTA/iM.IT Founder, Senior Instructor & HMNS/AACP Accredited Tutor).

The program of the seminar is exactly the same as the one that Dr. Sean Flannagan teaches in the USA.

The seminar lasts 3 days and will be held in Athens.

The cost of the seminar is 470€.

To finalize your participation, you have to prepay 170€.

The remaining amount of 300€ must be deposited at least 2 days before the start of the seminar.

^{Advanced Manipulation, Manual Therapy & Clinical Management Courses}

Combined MM-A & MM-B Manipulation Series Courses:

• MM-A: Spinal Manipulation + Adv. Cervicothoracic


• MM-B: Spinal Manipulation + Adv. Lumbopelvic

This 3-day course is designed as a highly interactive practical, and theoretical approach to total spine care, with emphasis on high-velocity thrust techniques with supportive non-thrust and neuromuscular education components.  Participants will learn essential motor skills to safely incorporate evidence-informed manipulation techniques for the spine (cervical, thoracic, lumbar, sacral) and major junctional zones (upper cervical, cervicothoracic, thoracolumbar, lumbosacral) or extremity manipulation immediately into clinical practice.  Included will be a review of updated clinical practice guidelines to support clinical reasoning, as well as comprehensive neurological and red flag screening.  
• The course will emphasize a differential evaluation of the cervicothoracic region, emphasizing clinical reasoning and pattern recognition. Additionally, multimodal treatments and patient progressions are supported with advanced thrust & non-thrust interventions and neuromuscular reeducation approaches specific to cervicothoracic dysfunction
• It will also emphasize a differential evaluation of the lumbopelvic region, emphasizing clinical reasoning and pattern recognition. Additionally, multimodal treatments and patient progressions are supported by advanced thrust & non-thrust interventions, and neuromuscular reeducation approaches specific to lumbopelvic dysfunction.
• Course participants will be presented with multiple unique alternative techniques explicitly designed for the larger patient, so providers of all sizes can easily be successful.
