Official Course Description

Detailed clinical curriculum breakdown

Assessment & Soft-Tissue Restriction

DRT Lower Extremity provides advanced instruction in the assessment and treatment of soft-tissue restrictions involving the feet, ankles, lower legs, knees, thighs, hips, and surrounding structures. Attendees review the relevant muscles, tendons, ligaments, fascial planes, connective tissues, and neurovascular structures while learning the appropriate application of Dynamic Release Techniques.

Passive Physician-Assisted Movement

Because the patient may be unconscious under anesthesia, all positioning and movement are performed passively by the treating physician and trained assistant. The patient does not actively contract, resist, or control the movement. This allows the physician to assess tissue tension, joint restriction, adhesions, and movement barriers while applying precise Passive Release Techniques before progressing to osseous manipulation when clinically appropriate.

Positioning, Safety & Sequencing

The course emphasizes controlled lower-extremity positioning, physician-assisted movement, tissue-specific contact, patient safety, communication with the anesthesia team, and the proper sequence of soft-tissue treatment and manipulation.

Anatomical Review

In-depth review of hips, thighs, knees, lower legs, ankles, and feet muscles, tendons, fascia, and neurovascular entrapments.

Passive Movement Protocols

Physician-assisted lower limb mobilization without active patient resistance under unconscious or passive anesthesia conditions.

Anesthesia Team Safety

Seamless coordination with anesthesia professionals to ensure proper patient positioning, monitoring, and soft-tissue sequence.
