Integrating Manipulative and Body-Based Therapies into Practice

Part1

Develop a project related to a Manipulative and Body Based therapy of interest to them. Write a paper defining the chosen therapy and its uses, comparing two types of the chosen therapy, and discussing how the therapy has been or could be used in the student’s practice.

Use a minimum of 2 peer-reviewed journal articles for this section of the project. J

The body of the paper should be 1 ½ – 2 pages in length. The second section of the project (see below) should be included as an addendum to the paper.

Part 2

Perform an internet search to determine if there is a certification for therapists who engage in the chosen therapy, identify the certifying body or bodies, and describe the education and training required for certification or levels of certification. If there is no certification available for the chosen therapy, the student will compare requirements from two programs that offer training in this therapy.

Then write an opinion of whether or not consideration of certification is important when recommending use of complementary therapies for their patients and provide reasons for their opinions. Include the website(s) used for this section in your reference list and include citations.
