In Positional Release Therapy CE Video Package, Dr. Timothy E. Speicher demonstrates how to use positional release therapy to gently treat patients of all ages who have acute and chronic somatic dysfunction, including tightness and pain.

This package includes all 12 videos in the series:

• Acquired Torticollis Management
• Chronic Lower Back Pain Management
• Forward Head Posture Management
• IT Band Friction Syndrome Management
• Medial Tibial Stress Syndrome Management
• Patellar Tendinopathy Management
• Piriformis Syndrome Management
• Plantar Fasciitis Management
• Postconcussion Syndrome Management
• Shoulder Impingement Syndrome Management
• Tennis Elbow Management
• Thoracic Outlet Syndrome Management

Each of these videos, covering a different condition, imparts the following to students:

• A brief overview of the physiological aspects of the condition
• Explanations on how the injury develops
• Tips for using assessment to identify the injury or dysfunction
• Treatment methods using positional release therapy
• Ancillary treatment techniques and exercises that can be performed to augment the treatment

The video series, modeled after Dr. Speicher’s workshops and seminars, features him using contemporary science, evidence-based research, and years of expertise to guide real students and practitioners through assessment and treatment using positional release therapy. Each video is followed by an exam that contains 30 to 35 questions. Upon passing an exam, you may print out and submit a certificate to obtain the continuing education credits. Credits are approved for each of the 12 videos, so you may complete all the videos and exams or choose only the ones you need.

Author

Timothy E. Speicher, PhD, ATC, LAT, CSCS, is president of the Positional Release Therapy Institute. He is considered a leading expert in positional release therapy (PRT). Speicher discovered and developed the fasciculatory response method (FRM), which has revolutionized the way PRT is applied, practiced, and taught. He established the Positional Release Therapy Institute to provide education on the FRM and PRT through the institute’s courses while allowing for its application to a patient population at the institute in Ogden, Utah.

Speicher frequently speaks on PRT to professional organizations and at conferences, and his research has been published in academic journals. In 2014 he received the first-place award for outstanding manuscript on evidence-based concept mapping by the Athletic Training Education Journal, published by the National Athletic Trainers’ Association (NATA). In 2013 he won the journal’s first-place award for outstanding manuscript on case-based analogical reasoning.

Speicher, who has held several faculty and research appointments at various academic institutions, is a member of the NATA and was on the board of directors of the NATA Research & Education Foundation. Currently, Speicher holds two faculty appointments: affiliate faculty for the University of Idaho, where he teaches neuroscience for the master’s degree in athletic training program, and assistant professor at Rocky Mountain University of Health Professions, where he provides instruction in evidence-based medicine for the health science doctorate program.
