IASTM Continuing Education for Physical Therapists and PTAs: Building Skills Beyond the Basics
Physical therapy is a hands-on profession, but effective treatment involves much more than simply learning a collection of techniques.
Why are you choosing a particular approach? What are you assessing? What does the research say? And how does what you're doing fit into the bigger picture of movement and rehabilitation?
Those are the kinds of questions that can turn learning a technique into developing a deeper professional skill.
At Pinnacle Training & Consulting Systems (PTCS), our PT and PTA continuing education is designed to connect scientific principles with practical knowledge that physical therapy professionals can apply within their scope of practice.
What Is IASTM?
Instrument-Assisted Soft Tissue Manipulation (IASTM) involves the use of specialized instruments as part of soft-tissue assessment and treatment.
But learning IASTM shouldn't simply mean learning how to use a tool.
Understanding the principles behind the technique, including assessment, tissue considerations, appropriate application, and the research surrounding IASTM, can help physical therapists and physical therapist assistants make more informed decisions about how it fits into patient care.
That's why our IASTM continuing education course goes beyond simply demonstrating techniques.
More Than 100 Illustrations and Graphics, Plus Research and Video
Different professionals learn in different ways.
Some concepts make sense when you read the research. Others become much clearer when you can actually see what is being discussed.
The PTCS Instrument-Assisted Soft Tissue Manipulation course combines multiple learning resources, including:
Detailed instruction
Research references
Educational videos
More than 100 illustrations and graphics
IASTM principles and concepts
Assessment approaches
Practical considerations for professional application
The goal isn't simply to give you information to memorize.
It's to help you understand what you're doing and why you're doing it.
Earn 14 Continuing Education Units While Expanding Your Skills
Continuing education requirements are part of professional life for many physical therapists and PTAs.
But earning CEUs can also be an opportunity to accomplish something more.
The PTCS Instrument-Assisted Soft Tissue Manipulation course provides 14 continuing education units, allowing you to work toward your continuing education needs while expanding your professional knowledge at the same time.
Rather than viewing continuing education as another box that needs to be checked, why not use those hours to develop skills and knowledge you can bring back to your professional practice?
Continuing Education That Works Around Your Schedule
Finding time for professional development isn't always easy when you're already balancing patients, documentation, work responsibilities, and life outside the clinic.
That's why flexibility matters.
The PTCS PT and PTA Track includes both online courses and live seminars, giving physical therapy professionals different ways to continue learning around an existing schedule.
Whether you're looking to expand your understanding of human movement, explore IASTM and soft-tissue treatment, or simply continue growing as a physical therapy professional, there's always another opportunity to build on what you already know.
Keep Building Your Professional Toolbox
Your degree or license gave you a foundation.
Continuing education gives you opportunities to keep building on it.
At PTCS, our goal is to provide practical, evidence-based education that helps physical therapists and physical therapist assistants deepen their knowledge and continue developing skills they can apply within their professional scope.
