Let's get started.
Rather than providing answers, this course focuses on teaching you how to think critically. It aims to simplify the decision-making process and develop a deeper understanding of how the knee behaves under load. The knee behaves under load.
This two-day course isn’t just about the knee; it’s about building a way of thinking. We’ll break biomechanics and pathology down to their simplest, most practical form. The material is driven by principles of loading, neuromuscular control, and how the body adjusts movement based on the environment it’s placed in. The goal is to bridge complexity and clarity, giving you an approach that holds up when you’re solving real cases, not textbook ones.
PT CEU approved.
ATCs, DCs, and PTAs are welcome to join, though formal CEU credit is not provided for these disciplines.
- Clinicians who want clarity around the cervico-shoulder relationship.
- PTs tired of memorizing “isolated” exercises and want actual reasoning.
- Providers working with athletes, active adults, or complex cases.
- Anyone who wants a repeatable framework, not more noise.
- Clinicians looking for a cookbook or a strict protocol
- People who want passive CEUs
- Anyone unwilling to question their current patterns of thinking

Everything you need to learn before, during, and after the course is delivered in a way that fits your practice.
The pre-course gives you the foundation. The live weekend gives you the shift. The follow-up keeps you sharp.
Curriculum
You’ll start with four pre-course modules that lay the foundation in knee biomechanics and reasoning strategies you’ll need before we get in the room. These modules are simple, direct, and built to give you the baseline framework so we can move fast during the live weekend.
But the pre-course is just the primer.
The real shift happens on the live weekend.
The live weekend is where the concepts get organized into something functional. We break down the biomechanics, run the reasoning in sequence, and show how to manage the knee interplay when it’s messy. You leave with a workable framework you can use in a complex case on Monday.
