Speaker: Mark R. Bookhout, M.S., P.T.
Contact Hours: 15 contact hours (MN BPT Cat. 1)
About This Course
This 15 hour course explores the interrelationship of anatomy, biomechanics and neurophysiology for the neuromusculoskeletal system. Emphasis is placed on the evaluation of neuromotor regulation with identification of faulty movement patterns in both the upper and lower quarters. The course emphasizes the use of specific home exercises to compliment manual therapy for acute and chronic musculoskeletal dysfunction. Joint mobilization, manual stretching, self stretching exercises and neuromotor retraining exercises are demonstrated and practiced by the participants.
Course Objectives
Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to:
- To understand the functional and anatomical connections of the upper and lower quarter musculature to the proximal trunk and pelvis.
- To understand the concept of neuromuscular imbalances of high tone and low tone/inhibition as contributors to chronic musculoskeletal dysfunction.
- To identify faulty movement patterns in the lower and upper quarter.
- To be able to interpret and plan a treatment strategy to correct faulty movement patterns in the upper and lower quarter using manual therapy and specific exercises.
- To be able to instruct patients in specific exercises to refine neuromotor control in both the upper and lower quarter.

Speaker Biography
Mr. Bookhout received his Certificate in Physical Therapy from the Mayo Clinic in 1977 and his Master’s Degree in Orthopaedic Physical Therapy from the Institute of Graduate Health Sciences in Atlanta, Georgia in 1982. In April of 1983 he co-founded Physical Therapy Orthopaedic Specialists, Inc., a private practice physical therapy clinic which specializes in evaluation and treatment of spinal dysfunction.
Mr. Bookhout has taught numerous courses throughout the United States since l981. He has been an Adjunct Associate Professor in the Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation at the College of Osteopathic Medicine at Michigan State University in East Lansing, Michigan since 1987. In 1992 Mr. Bookhout developed a course on exercise as a compliment to manual medicine as part of the Michigan State Continuing Medical Education Program. Since 2011 Mr. Bookhout has been a certified instructor for the Neuromeningeal Manipulation courses with the Barral Institute.
