Hands On! ​Summer School
The Neurophysiology of Soft Tissue Manipulation in Musculoskeletal Pain Conditions

June 20-24, 2023

Indiana University
Indianapolis, IN

Our inaugural summer school aims to disseminate scientific and technical knowledge that will enable investigators to perform rigorous, mechanistic research on the neurobiology of soft tissue mechanotherapies. 

What to expect
  • A hands-on overview of soft tissue manipulation approaches and a current understanding of their mechanisms.
  • Focused sessions describing the effects of soft tissue manipulation on the neuromusculoskeletal unit, pain, and function in various neuromusculoskeletal conditions.
  • Exposure to engineering and imaging methods for soft tissue examination and intervention.
  • Interdisciplinary networking opportunities to seed new collaborations. 
  • See tentative schedule here.
  • Information on funding opportunities.
  • Up to 30 attendees will receive an all-paid trip to attend.
