Objectives 1) to be able to diagnose somatic dysfunction of the vertebral column, pelvis, and thoracic cage; 2) to understand the principles of high velocity technique including the cavitation phenomena; 3) to identify components of somatic dysfunctions that are most amenable to direct action thrust manipulative technique; 4) to be able to apply direct action thrust technique to all of the regions of the vertebral column, pelvis, and rib cage; 5) to understand the role of long and short level arm localization development of fulcrum and application of fore from lever are to fulcrum in direct action thrust technique; and 6) to understand relative and absolute contraindictions and possible complications from these techniques.
