STAAR RATING SYSTEM: STAAR has developed a basic guideline rating system to help you select the workshop(s) most suited to your educational level. Ratings are given for the following disciplines:

Veterinarians (DVM/VMD) Veterinary Technicians (VT) Physical Therapists (PT) Physical Therapy Assistants (PTA) Certified Canine Rehabilitation Practitioners, Therapists, or Assistants (CCRP / CCRT / CCRA)

Use the credentials that best define your skill set. Furthermore, the STAAR Rating System qualifies each Workshop based on clinical experience as follows: ★ Basic course: Designed for participants who desire a basic understanding or knowledge of the topic or skills. ★ ★ Intermediate course: Participants assume a solid foundation and understanding of the topic and skills,

and desire more advanced training. ★ ★ ★ Challenging course: Presentation includes advanced skills and up-to-date techniques that assumes a thorough understanding of the topic.

PRE-SYMPOSIUM LAB (Wednesday, April 23 – Thursday, April, 24) r Manual Therapy Essentials for the Canine Spine – Laurie Edge-Hughes

16 contact hours ★DVM, VT, PT, CCRP/T 20 participants maximum

Wednesday 9:00 am – 6:00 pm (breakfast and lunch included) Thursday 9:00 am – 6:00 pm (breakfast and lunch included)

Prerequisites: This 2-day course is open to Veterinarians, Veterinary Technicians, Physical Therapists, and those who have successfully completed a canine rehabilitation certification program. Others may be admitted by special permission based on review of applicant’s previous coursework and experience.

Course Description: Through lecture and lab, the instructor will lead participants through a thorough evaluation of the canine spine from a mechanical perspective. Focus will include manual therapy concepts and evidence-based rationale for treatment selection. Participants will gain a greater depth of understanding of spinal mechanics, a better appreciation for the detection of spinal dysfunctions, and the ability to manually treat (via mobilization techniques) the spinal system.
