The intersection of manual therapy and neuroscience has revealed profound connections between visceral manipulation, fascial mechanotransduction, and autonomic nervous system regulation. Modern patients present with complex interoceptive processing deficits that require clinicians to understand how mechanical input translates to neurological change through sophisticated afferent pathways and connective tissue signaling mechanisms.

This advanced course bridges the gap between hands-on therapeutic techniques and evidence-based neurophysiology, providing clinicians with the scientific foundation to optimize visceral manipulation outcomes. You'll explore how fascial mechanoreceptors communicate with interoceptive processing centers, creating measurable autonomic responses that can be therapeutically targeted through precise manual interventions.

Designed for licensed healthcare providers seeking to elevate their understanding of viscero-neural connections, this program integrates cutting-edge research in mechanotransduction, connective tissue physiology, and autonomic regulation. The curriculum addresses the neurophysiological mechanisms underlying successful manual therapy outcomes, enabling more precise clinical reasoning and enhanced patient care.

Dr. Briana Salazar, a chiropractic neurologist, brings advanced clinical expertise in functional neurology applications to visceral and fascial interventions. Her integration of neurological principles with manual therapy techniques exemplifies the Carrick Institute's commitment to evidence-based, neurologically-informed clinical education that transforms patient outcomes.
