The Clinical Palpation Online Course is a specialized certification course for physiotherapists, chiropractors, manual therapists, and other health-care professionals wishing to advance their hands-on diagnostic skills through the assessment skill of palpation (a prerequisite skill for proper assessment and differential diagnosis, and treatment planning).
The course syllabus includes surface anatomy, musculoskeletal landmarks, joint lines, soft tissues, structures myofascial restrictions, trigger points, and neurovascular structures of the human body. Learners will acquire all palpation skills including detailed palpation of the anatomical structures, identification of normal and abnormal findings, as well as rubrics for effective sensory evaluation and interpretation. Using HD videos (with 3D anatomical overlays), along with instructor demonstrations, we ensure that students have the kinesthetic awareness and tactile sensitivity to develop strong palpation skills.
Each module will deliver interactive assessments, self-guided practice techniques, and integration exercises for palpation skills with corresponding referral assessed regions. The training will synthesize theoretical anatomy with clinical application, which will enable students to safely and effectively assess patients confidently bringing the treatment options for established clinical conditions into focus.
At the end of the course, each learner will receive a certificate of completion for clinical palpation competency. This certificate will also support clinicians in boosting their clinical confidence as well as improving the quality of patient care.
