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.

Objectives

1. Investigate adverse peripheral neural tension impairments of the upper extremity (UE).
2. Appraise provocative tests to identify mobility impairments related to adverse neural tension in the UE.
3. Apply neurodynamic mobilization techniques to manage mobility impairments for median, musculocutaneous, ulnar and radial nerves using manual or instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization.
4. Develop a home exercise program to manage adverse neural tension.
5. Assess and document effectiveness of the neurodynamic approach to adverse neural tension disorders.
6. Investigate current literature related to the effectiveness of neurodynamic therapy for mobility impairments of the UE
