Treating Mechanically Larger Patients Using the Arc of Tension Model

This course is designed to provide practitioners with an in-depth understanding of how to effectively treat mechanically larger patients utilizing the Arc of Tension model. The curriculum is structured to enhance practical skills and knowledge through a series of detailed presentations, demonstrations, and hands-on practice.

• -Understand the biomechanical principles of the Arc of Tension model and its application to patients with larger body mass
• -Identify anatomical and postural variations in mechanically larger patients that require modified treatment approaches
• -Demonstrate proper body mechanics and positioning techniques to reduce practitioner strain while treating larger patients
• -Apply the Arc of Tension model to develop individualized treatment plans for patients with increased mechanical demands
• -Practice hands-on adjustment techniques adapted for larger patient populations using proper leverage and force distribution
• -Evaluate patient progress and modify treatment protocols based on response and tolerance
• -Integrate practical strategies for clinic workflow and equipment optimization when treating mechanically larger patients
