IMT Advanced Course- Manual Solutions for Immune Compromise

These 3 days advanced Integrative Manual Therapy (IMT) lab course is part of
a series called IMT for Biologic Medicine.  Manual therapists (MD, DO, ND,
DC, PT, OT, L.Ac, MT, IMT, other) typically treat dysfunction to reduce pain
and improve function. This series of manual therapy seminars, called IMT for
Biologic Medicine, is a new era for manual medicine: techniques to affect
the tissues contributing to disease. The content of this course can be
utilized to: reduce immune deficiency, increase immune competency, and
decrease local, regional and systemic infection and inflammation.
Discussions regarding immunology will provide the student with critical
thinking and clinical reasoning, in order to begin to develop an expertise
in this field.  A multidisciplinary approach is best for treatment of
infectious and/or inflammatory conditions.
