Aims of the Course 2011
The course will enable practitioners, to expand their range of treatable conditions and to achieve more effective results than conventional manual therapy practitioners.
Participants will learn how they can help alleviate acute and chronic pain and ailments using a variety of manual adjustment techniques by evaluating and treating dysfunctions, within the musculoskeletal, visceral, cranial, myofascial and nervous systems.
Participants will learn hands-on diagnosis and treatment and will be presented with a model of how each component inter-relates and how some factors such as leg length discrepancy, spinal and visceral abnormalities influence and perpetuate dysfunctional patterns and chronic pain.
At the completion of the Course:
Participants will be conversant in recent developments in anatomy, patho-anatomy and the inter- related changes of the facial, neural, visceral, cranial and spinal column.
Participants will be proficient in applying spinal joint, neural, visceral, facial, cranial and muscle, examination procedures
Participants will be proficient in determining a differential diagnosis based on an integrated examination of the joint, muscle, facial, visceral, cranial and neural, systems
Participants will be able to introduce and formulate clinically meaningful concepts and effective treatment programs appropriate and suitable for the assessed condition.
Participants will be proficient in applying an appropriate manual and manipulative therapy treatment strategy, incorporating manual or/and manipulative techniques and specific therapy exercise
