This interdisciplinary program includes four weekend lab courses aimed at each body region (lumbopelvic, lower extremity, cervical thoracic, and upper extremity) and a therapeutic neuroscience education online course. You will learn psychomotor and clinical reasoning skills for orthopaedics and then tie it together with best practices for the integration of pain science.

Courses are taught by EIM’s world-class faculty, many of whom are internationally recognized for their contributions to education, research, and practice management. The extensive community that has formed around EIM provides a best-practice environment for students to receive the highest caliber of training and to become distinguished leaders in evidence-based orthopaedic and manual physical therapy practice.
