THE IMMT SYSTEM
Use this page as a guide to making your course selection. You begin this journey with our preliminary courses, our IMMT PALPATION and IMMT FOUNDATIONS courses, depending on the kind of practitioner you are (see below), which lays the framework for our IMMT CORE COURSES.
WHERE DO YOU START?
MANUAL THERAPISTS
Athletic Therapists, Chiropractors, Naturopathic Doctors, Osteopathic Doctors, Osteopathic Practitioners, Physiotherapists, & Registered Message Therapists.
IMMT FOUNDATIONS
This course introduces our fundamental concepts of the integration of movement and manual therapy. We provide you with the IMMT system, allowing you to deliver effective interventions on the treatment table and on the training floor.
NON-MANUAL THERAPY BASED PRACTITIONERS
Medical Doctors, Kinesiologists, Personal Trainers, Acupuncturists, Traditional Chinese Medicine Doctors, & Occupational Therapists.
IMMT PALPATION
Dive into the art and science of palpation today! This 2-day prerequisite course teaches the fundamentals of palpation. It is designed for health practitioners who do not have manual therapy experience and are interested in entering the IMMT education stream.
IMMT FOUNDATIONS
This course introduces our fundamental concepts of the integration of movement and manual therapy. We provide you with the IMMT system, allowing you to deliver effective interventions on the treatment table and on the training floor.
IMMT CORE COURSES
Once you complete our preliminary courses, you have access to the IMMT CORE COURSES, which are grouped by area of interest and comprise a series of courses to cover all aspects of Movement & Manual Therapy interventions.
PELVIS
PELVIS 1
This two-day course starts the journey of learning how to assess and treat the pelvic region from a holistic perspective. Biomechanics, visceral influences and movement strategies will all be introduced and give the clinician effective tools to treat this wonderfully complex region.
PELVIS 2
This two-day course integrates manual therapy, foundational movement and manual therapy techniques to assess and treat clients with low back pain.
SPINE
SPINE 1
This two-day course explores thoracic spine from a holistic perspective that blends manual therapy and exercise. The concepts of IMMT will be used to help the practitioner intervene with appropriate manual therapy techniques and movement solutions.
SPINE 2
This two-day course explores the assessment and treatment of the lumbar spine from a blended perspective of manual therapy and exercise. The concepts of IMMT will be used to help the clinician identify what area needs to be addressed and how to choose which techniques and exercises are most appropriate.
SPINE 3
Simplify the complexity of head and neck issues and get practical tools for the cervical spine with this two-day course. In addition, there will be head and face techniques with an introduction to cranial manipulation.
EXTREMITIES
EXTREMITIES 1
This course will cover all relevant anatomy, physiology, biomechanics relating to the feet, ankles, lower extremities and knees and provide you with the ability to expertly assess and treat common injuries.
EXTREMITIES 2
Attend this one of a kind course to learn how to master shoulder and upper extremity rehabilitation by expertly assessing the position, mobility and interrelationships with other body regions and determining when to use manual therapy, movement and loading.
VISCERAL
VISCERAL 1
This course will show how to palpate visceral structures, and how to determine if an individual’s internal structures are a factor in their pain or functional limitations.
VISCERAL 2
This course builds on Visceral 1 and will teach you to fine tune your palpation skills to the next level. Participants will learn to feel the inherent mobility of the organs to help you gain an appreciation for common organ/visceral impairments that often mask themselves as muscle, fascial or joint dysfunctions.
CRANIAL 1
This course introduces the concept of cranial manipulation. You will learn how to palpate and assess the major bones of the head and face, their mechanics of movement and basic treatment concepts.
CRANIAL 2
This course expands on the first course, going into techniques to affect deeper cranial structures, addressing the membranes, sutures and the deeper structures within the skull.
