- Online Preparatory Instruction
Hybrid Educational Model & Digital Coursework
Dynamic Release Techniques (DRT) provides a hybrid educational model combining online preparatory instruction with live, in-person clinical training. Before attending the seminar, participants complete the required 16 hours of online coursework (part
of 32 CE hours (16 online with Dr. Robert C. Gordon, DC, AAMUAP + 16 in person),
pending approval) covering the principles of Manipulations Under Anesthesia, patient selection criteria, indications, contraindications, documentation requirements, and the clinical application of Soft Tissue and Osseous Manipulation Under Anesthesia (MUA) for chronic disorders. Students gain an understanding of STOMUA™ procedural protocols, pre-operative considerations, observational clinical techniques, and the pathway to implementing STOMUA™ within a hospital or ambulatory surgery center setting.
- In-Person Clinical Practicum
Live In-Person Clinical Training
During the in-person portion of the seminar, participants work directly with DRT instructors and fellow attendees to develop palpation, tissue assessment, patient positioning, and hands-on treatment skills. Instruction includes instructor demonstrations, supervised partner practice, clinical application, and individualized feedback.
- Evaluation & Certification
Competency Examinations & Professional Verification
After completing the required online education and in-person training, participants demonstrate their knowledge and technical proficiency through written and practical competency examinations. Successful completion confirms that the participant has met the minimum educational and clinical standards established by Dynamic Release Techniques for the appropriate use of the techniques within their professional scope of practice.
