David Zulak M.A., RMT - Comprehensive Orthopaedic Assessment & Living Anatomy 

In this presentation, Zulak outlines his simple, commonsense approach to the assessment and treatment of spine and pelvis. Most clients come into massage offices for neck and back problems, yet very few therapists understand how to assess the spine and pelvis. Learning to assess all the joints of the spine and pelvis is simply learning “living anatomy”. To see how the body functions and how it becomes dysfunctional, therapists have to see both the state of individual joints and tissues, while also seeing how all of these are working together as a whole.
