RESOLVING POST-CONCUSSIVE PAIN
Resolve post-concussive pain
Introduction: When treating myofascial pain & dysfunction is not enough
Learn to identify Dynamic Myofascial Dysfunctions in your patient’s unique gait & behavior especially when there is a history of concussions and neck injuries
HUMANS ADAPT! Assessing today’s movement from yesterday’s (yesterYEARS) injuries enables you to identify NeuroMyoFascial adaptations and compensatory patterns
Recognize associated mechanical & systemic ramifications of myofascial dysfunction associated with neck injuries and concussion
Effective FSM and manual therapy for hidden Neuro-MyoFascial Dysfunctions:
How to leverage the interactivity between the brain, peripheral nervous system, myofascial network, biomechanics, & aberrant movement
The BRILLIANT efficiency of the brain encourages INSTANT adaptive “solutions” that result in “functional” dysfunction
How injured muscles LEARN “the right wrong thing” that leads to ongoing dysfunctional adaptations so we can continue to function until pain STOPS US
Learn how to find the story behind the story… something you were never taught in school
Take a journey through the miraculous NeuroMyoFascial system: how and why it REALLY holds & releases pain patterns, postural compensations, old physical trauma and emotions
Restore functional movement by activating key Mover & Stabilizer muscles with dynamic manual therapy techniques
GRAVITY is your friend: Learn to access this “assistant therapist” for immediate results
Stabilizers! The muscle function you never learned in school, and isn’t in the text books: Learn how to reactivate these core muscles and instantly restore biomechanical ease
Once you are STABLE… You can MOVE! Understand the function of Movers: Learn the techniques to release & re-educate these key activation muscles
Learn the fascinating relationship between agonist and antagonist muscles: You’ve seen this in your practice, but what does it really mean? You’ll get it, as soon as you see it!
Apply powerful microcurrent protocols to support restoration of natural neuro-electrical flow for muscle movement and stabilization
Hands-on Frequency Specific Microcurrent (FSM) practicums:, you’ll receive mobilization & motor sensory reboot protocols to enhance the dynamic treatment techniques you learn in this workshop
Students will:
understand the key symptoms found with concussion and post-concussion syndrome
understand post-concussive syndrome and the cervical myofascial component
demonstrate proficiency in assessing myofascial pain & dysfunction
identify the genesis of aberrant movement patterns & distorted biomechanics
be able to identify postural distortions, stabilizer muscle weaknesses, and mover muscles. dysfunction in the “Mover and Stabilizer muscles” driven by the brain “compensating for an injury/trauma/catastrophic event”
be able to demonstrate basic competence in applying specific active/dynamic manual therapy techniques to restore optimal cervical movement and function.
Gain a deeper understanding of the emotional impact of injury or trauma on the NeuroMyoFascial system and limbic system.
Learn the critical stabilizer muscles and how to PROPERLY activate them
Learn the secret to relaxing the neck and shoulder muscles
After the completion of this course the learner will be able to:
Gain hands-on experience in therapeutic techniques to resolve dysfunctional cervical motor patterns and/or dynamic postural distortions quickly (ONE Treatment)
Provide FSM combined with manual therapy techniques for the activation & treatment of the “mover and stabilizer” muscles
Apply specific active, dynamic manual therapy techniques to resolve pain and dysfunction in the neck and shoulder while resolving the debilitating symptoms of post concussive syndrome.
