CONTINUING EDUCATION & MENTORSHIP
Our clinic puts a high value on continuing education and sharing of knowledge between colleagues through our mentorship program and individual company-supported continuing education each year. In additional to their doctoral degrees, our PTs have acquired additional certifications including the advanced Orthopedic Clinical Specialist (OCS) held by only 5% of all American PTs, Mechanical Diagnosis and Treatment of the Spine (MDT), McKenzie Method, Dry Needling: Trigger Point Dry Needling and Integrative Dry Needling, The Graston Technique, Cupping Therapy, Graded Motor Imagery / Mirror Therapy, and Mulligan Technique.
In addition, we reinforce these advanced degrees and certifications with reserved time each month to educate ourselves as a team. This monthly mentorship program includes reviews of the most up-to-date evaluation and treatment techniques and discussions about current research in PT, sports medicine, and rehabilitation. Periodic seminars led by area healthcare providers from different specialties are another important component of clinical staff professional development at Cioffredi & Associates.
