This online course is designed for physiotherapists and healthcare professionals who are interested in learning positional release therapy (PRT) techniques to effectively treat musculoskeletal pain and dysfunction. PRT is a manual therapy technique that utilizes gentle pressure to release muscle tension and improve range of motion.

During this course, participants will learn the principles and applications of PRT, including the history and evolution of the technique, the concept of tender points and trigger points, and the role of PRT in the treatment of various musculoskeletal conditions.

Participants will also learn the practical skills required to perform PRT techniques, including how to identify and locate tender points, how to apply and maintain pressure, and how to perform a release. The course will also cover common clinical scenarios in which PRT can be used, including neck and back pain, headaches, and other musculoskeletal conditions.

Throughout the course, participants will have access to instructional videos, case studies, and interactive learning activities to reinforce their understanding of PRT techniques. At the end of the course, participants will have the knowledge and skills required to incorporate PRT into their clinical practice and provide effective treatment for their patients.

Course Objectives:

• Understand the history and principles of PRT
• Identify and locate tender points and trigger points
• Apply and maintain pressure to perform PRT techniques
• Use PRT to treat musculoskeletal conditions, including neck and back pain, headaches, and other common clinical scenarios
• Integrate PRT into clinical practice for effective treatment of patients

Course Aim:

The aim of this online course on positional release therapy (PRT) for physiotherapists and healthcare professionals is to provide participants with a comprehensive understanding of the principles and techniques of PRT, and the skills required to effectively treat musculoskeletal pain and dysfunction using this manual therapy technique.

Course Outcome:

Upon completion of this online course on positional release therapy for physiotherapists and healthcare professionals, participants will have a comprehensive understanding of the role of manual therapy in the treatment of musculoskeletal pain and dysfunction, and the practical skills to apply PRT techniques effectively. Participants will have developed their critical thinking skills and problem-solving abilities to make accurate diagnoses, identify tender points and trigger points, and determine appropriate PRT interventions based on individual patient needs. As a result, participants will be better equipped to provide safe, effective, and evidence-based care to their patients, ultimately improving patient outcomes and contributing to the overall improvement of the healthcare system.
