Description
From Findings to Treatment.
A precise assessment is only half the job. Knowing a pattern is dysfunctional doesn't tell you whether to mobilize a joint, treat tissue, or retrain control — and choosing wrong wastes visits and stalls outcomes.
The SFMA Level 2 Online Course builds on your Level 1 assessment with the Reset—Reinforce—Retrain model: a step-by-step framework for turning SFMA findings into targeted treatment. Region by region, you'll work through local biomechanical examination — joint play and tissue appraisal — and the motor learning science that makes corrections hold.
By the end, you'll move from diagnosis to intervention with a clear sequence: what to reset, what to reinforce, what to retrain, and how to progress each patient toward durable movement.
Leave With The Ability To
Turn findings into treatment plans — apply the Reset—Reinforce—Retrain framework to every dysfunctional pattern you identify.
Differentiate joint from tissue restrictions — examine each region with joint play and tissue appraisal, so your manual techniques target the right structure.
Make corrections stick — use motor learning principles to retrain the pattern, not just treat the parts.
Progress with a system — sequence interventions and retest against the SFMA, so progress is measured, not assumed.
Deliver outcomes patients feel — treat the cause with precision and reduce the recurrence that erodes trust in the plan.
Hear from our Professionals
Completing SFMA 1 and 2 has been a genuine game-changer for my practice. It improved my diagnostic clarity, made treatment planning more efficient, and helped me deliver more consistent, reliable outcomes for patients.
- Dr. Brian Jones, Doctor of Physical Therapy
The demonstrations of the techniques for the local biomechanical exam (both joint play and tissue appraisal) are phenomenal. The recorded course is extremely valuable in revisiting the methods for motor learning in all the different patterns.
- S. Kressel, Israel
I found all of it helpful, but especially appreciated the explanation of principles in the beginning and the rationale for the assessment and treatment approaches in a very methodical way.
- D. Stepanek, US
The breakdowns of the 4x4 matrix, but also how to apply feedback and the logic behind it so I can carry that over into other aspects of treating patients.
