Neumann and Mr. Rolandas Kesminas, both accomplished physiotherapists, will co-present a continuing education course featuring the foundation of anatomy and kinesiology of the axial skeleton, combined with treatment strategies aimed at improving pain-free movement. The course will focus on the craniocervical, thoracic, and lumbar regions.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This 12-hour online course will be presented in English via Zoom on three dates: February 2, 9, and 16, 2027. Participants will receive detailed PDF handouts of lecture materials. Lecture sessions will be held from 5:00 PM to 9:00 PM (Vilnius time). Scheduled breaks, question-and-answer sessions, and open group discussions will be integrated into each class session.<\/p>\n<p>This course combines the extensive experience of two respected experts in the field of physiotherapy. Dr. Neumann, Professor Emeritus at Marquette University in the United States, will share insights gained from more than 40 years of teaching and writing on the anatomy and kinesiology of the axial skeleton. Much of his presentation material and many of the images are derived from his internationally acclaimed textbook, Neumann\u2019s Kinesiology of the Musculoskeletal System (4th ed.), published by Elsevier in 2025.<\/p>\n<p>Mr. Kesminas, based in Kaunas, Lithuania, brings more than 20 years of clinical experience as a physiotherapist. He is highly regarded for his ability to integrate anatomy-based kinesiology with skilled manual therapy, particularly in the treatment of spinal disorders. Mr. Kesminas trained and studied in the United States under both Dr. Don Neumann and Dr. Guy Simoneau as part of a one-year Fulbright Fellowship.<\/p>\n<p>This course will be beneficial for physical therapists, physicians, personal and athletic trainers, coaches, yoga and Pilate instructors, and other professionals who deal with movement and function of the axial skeleton.<\/p>\n<p><b>Course Objectives :\u00a0 \u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<p>After the completion of this course, participants shall be able to:<\/p>\n<p>1) Describe how the specific regional anatomy of the cervical through lumbar regions strongly influences the primary planes and extent of motion.<br \/>\n2) Cite the anatomy and function of ligaments and intervertebral discs of the spine.<br \/>\n3) Explain how the motions of the pelvis (and hip) alter the curvature, mechanics, and motions at the lumbar region, and ultimately across the entire spine.<br \/>\n4) Cite the primary muscular function and innervation of motions across the spine.<br \/>\n5) Apply principles of spinal kinesiology and arthrokinematics to the clinical assessment of posture, movement restrictions, and regional spinal dysfunction.<br \/>\n6) Explain the role of ligamentous, discal, muscular, and neural tissues in the generation and modulation of pain, muscle activity, and movement dysfunction.<br \/>\n7) Integrate spinal kinesiology principles when selecting and applying manual therapy techniques, movement-based interventions, and therapeutic exercises for spinal disorders.<br \/>\n8) Analyse the effects of posture, mechanical loading, muscle function, and motor control on spinal movement and utilize this knowledge to develop evidence-informed rehabilitation strategies.<\/p>\n<p><b>Time Agenda:\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>SESSION I<br \/>\n<\/b>February, 2, 2027 Tuesday 5-9PM (Lithuania time)<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u2013 Osteology, Arthrology and Kinematics of the Spine (Part 1)<br \/>\n\u2013 Kinesiology in the Assessment of Spinal Posture and Movement<br \/>\n\u2013 30 minutes Q &amp; A and Discussion<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><b>SESSION II<br \/>\n<\/b>February 9, 2027 Tuesday 5-9PM<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u2013 Osteology, Arthrology and Kinematics of the Spine (Part 2)<br \/>\n\u2013 Introduction to Muscle and Function<br \/>\n\u2013 Clinical Applications of Spinal Anatomy, Arthrokinematics, and Tissue Biomechanics<br \/>\n\u2013 30 minutes Q &amp; A and Discussion<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><b>SESSION III<br \/>\n<\/b>February 16 2027 Tuesday 5-9PM<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u2013 Muscle and Joint Interactions across the Spine<br \/>\n\u2013 Application of Muscle Kinesiology to Exercise, Manual Therapy, and Rehabilitation of Spinal Disorders<br \/>\n\u2013 30 minutes Q &amp; A and Discussion<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/details>\n<div style=\"margin-top: 20px;\"><\/div>\n<details>\n<style>\ndetails summary {<br \/>    list-style: none;<br \/>    cursor: pointer;<br \/>}<\/p>\n<p>details summary::-webkit-details-marker {<br \/>    display: none;<br \/>}<br \/><\/style>\n<summary style=\"font-size: 16px; font-weight: bold;\">\u2795 TUTORS <span style=\"font-size: 13px; color: #91ad3d; font-weight: 600;\">(READ MORE)<\/span><\/summary>\n<div style=\"margin-top: 10px; padding: 14px 16px; background: #FFFFFF; border-left: 4px solid #91AD3D; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.8;\">\n<p><strong>Donald A.
