Most clinicians were taught manipulation.
Few were taught to trust it.
You know the technique exists. You may have been shown it in school, or picked it up in a course that moved too fast and left you uncertain about when — and whether — to apply it.
Precision with HVLA isn’t just about the thrust. It’s about reading the joint, understanding regional biomechanics, knowing exactly what you’re testing and why.
Without that foundation, the technique works sometimes and you’re not sure why — or doesn’t, and you don’t know what to change.
This course builds the foundation that most training programmes skip.
What the course covers
18
Hours of hands-on training
Two full days. No filler — every hour is on the table applying technique with direct feedback.

About the instructor
Dr. Oron Fiksel holds a Doctorate of Science in Physical Therapy with doctoral research focused on manual therapy for chronic headache and TMJ dysfunction.
He completed his Fellowship in Orthopedic Manual Therapy through the North American Institute of Orthopaedic Manual Therapy in 2023 — the highest post-graduate clinical credential available in this field.
He has treated patients across Israel, India, New York, New Jersey, and South Florida, including world-ranked competitive athletes and complex post-surgical cases.
He has been teaching and applying spinal manipulation clinically for over a decade. The techniques covered in this course are ones he uses in practice every week.
