Thompson Technique

An overview course of drop table work and accommodations for the pediatric population

Being proficient in Thompson Technique is a very valuable tool for Chiropractors to have, especially if you strive to care for pregnant and paediatric populations.

The neurological understanding, analysis, procedures and setups take a great deal of time and practice to fully learn. At The Kids Summit Dr. Sarah Hogan will teach an overview course. You will learn the proper way to do a leg length analysis, how to confirm a number of different subluxation listings, how to set up for the proper corrections and how to make accommodations for children. This will all be taught with biomechanical and neurological supporting evidence.

In the workshop, you will get some hands on experience practicing assessments and correction setups under Dr. Hogan’s guidance. We will run through various clinical scenarios together. Overall, you will gain knowledge, skills, and confidence in practicing Thompson Technique. These critical tools can be immediately implemented into your current practice,
