If you're a healthcare provider in the physical medicine space, your body is one "tool of the trade" that you use more than any other in your practice. Whether you're performing joint manipulations, soft tissue treatments, needling or using any variety of treatment modalities, your physical ability to perform is the common denominator.

And while there is no shortage of courses that can teach you about various techniques and treatments, there is very little attention given to the biomechanics and ergonomics involved with preserving the physical health of the provider administering care.

In this two part series with Dr. Ti Pence, titled Body Mechanics and Beyond: Crafting a Sustainable Manual Therapy Practice, we will discuss the importance of alignment and conservative force generation techniques when performing joint manipulation.

Key Themes in Today’s Episode:

Important "red flag" mistakes that can quickly lead to overuse injuries
How to avoid the most common injuries within the first five years of practice
Techniques and positioning that place unnecessary strain on the body
The practical and somewhat unconventional rule to measure the effectiveness of body mechanics
