This document outlines a 4-day training schedule on mechanical diagnosis and treatment of the lumbar, cervical, and thoracic spine. The training includes lectures and presentations on topics like anatomy, biomechanics, the three syndromes of mechanical diagnosis, centralization phenomenon, clinical examination techniques, principles of mechanical treatment, procedures and techniques, treatment progression, indications and contraindications, problem solving case studies, and clinical decision making. Participants will practice therapist techniques and treatment applications for the different spinal regions and present case studies.
