You can work toward a certification or explore the system in phases. The key to becoming a master manual therapist is learning how to treat the source of the problem, not just the location of the symptom. The Bowstring Method® is a systemized approach that teaches physical therapists, osteopaths, chiropractors, and other bodyworkers the hands-on skills that are the key to identifying numerous effective manual therapy options commonly missed during the treatment of orthopedic pain patterns. The certification program for The Bowstring Method® of Advanced Manual Therapy uses a three-pronged approach: An instructional video series (available to stream or download) that includes specific instructions for over 60 original techniques unique to this system; a textbook that augments the videos with even more in-depth information; and in-person mentoring with a certified Bowstring Method Instructor. In both the videos and the book, colored tape is used to provide a visual representation of the technique. This approach helps your brain understand the 3-dimensional aspect to the work, and create a memory for you that can help you access that understanding later when you’re working on clients. Manual therapy designed for the longevity of the therapist. Certified Bowstring Method Manual Therapist. Licensed health care professionals can receive full certification in The Bowstring Method® after passing all six sections of the instructional series. Therapists may also petition to become certified in individual sections; for instance, you could be a Spine-Certified Therapist in The Bowstring Method®. The modified educational track for non-licensed providers, such as personal trainers, physical therapy assistants, and bodyworkers, will lead to certification as a Bowstring Method Technician.
