Description
Pain, numbness, tingling, weakness, electrical sensations and more – where do you begin to address the myriad of symptoms of adverse neural tension? This recorded session will provide foundational essentials of neuryodynamics with respect to how nerves move within a complex system.
- Refine your clinical skillset while identifying compromised nerve mobility as the origin of musculoskeletal dysfunction
- Form a streamlined assessment and develop a variety of hands on techniques to manage adverse neural tension
- Confidently develop personalized home exercise programs to reinforce treatment techniques for accelerated outcomes
With an understanding of and the ability to facilitate movement of the peripheral nervous system, you will elevate your skill and provide the results your patients want.
