The weekend courses encompass a large amount of hands-on lab and exercise prescription necessary to develop the required motor skills and foundational clinical reasoning in the realm of sports and orthopedic manual therapy. Bi-monthly virtual clinical reasoning sessions with fellow students and IAR faculty. This certification program is open to all therapists with a valid physical therapy license in good standing.
