Description
This program explores the dynamic relationship between body alignment and central nervous system function, emphasizing how misalignments affect neurological health, and vice versa. Designed for clinicians seeking advanced skills in manual therapy and neurological integration, this course outlines how joint position errors alter proprioceptive input and how targeted adjustments can restore function. The curriculum integrates concepts from clinical neuroscience, biomechanics, and sensorimotor systems, providing practical strategies for leveraging visual, vestibular, and proprioceptive systems in patient care.
What you’ll learn:
- Explain how body alignment influences and is influenced by central nervous system function.
- Integrate visual, vestibular, and proprioceptive assessments to identify joint position errors.
- Apply manual therapy and adjusting techniques based on neurological correlates.
- Customize adjusting strategies for cerebellar, cortical, and vestibular deficits.
- Use SNAGs and coordinate system models to enhance assessment and treatment precision.
