Precision Neuromuscular Therapy
Precision Neural Mobilization
Two day class: 9AM to 6PM (16 Continuing Education Hours) $295
See the Neural Mobilization Brochure Part #1 Part #2
Precision Neural Mobilization (PNM) applies highly specific mobilization procedures to the neural tissues of the body. Neural entrapments and compressions are a complex, common and frequently overlooked symptom presenting in patient populations everywhere.
Vital to this class is the understanding all of the major and minor peripheral nerve pathways, innervations, distributions and symptoms as well as when and where they become impeded upon. Physical examination can be of critical importance in determining the proper methods and locations of where treatment should be directed. Neural issues can mimic many commonly occurring disorders, so having a means at your disposal to not only differentiate but treat these sometimes baffling disorders is paramount for all therapists of all disciplines to learn and understand.
Common issues that are neural in nature but are often treated and appear as muscular issues are: low back pain, hip pain, calf cramping, hamstring strain, plantar fasciitis, lateral epicondylosis, occipital headache, upper trapezius hypertrophy, recent scoliosis and many more. Knowing the difference means doing a treatment that will either increase stress and strain on the irritated structures or off loading them to decrease sensitivity and symptoms as well as mobilizing them in a pain free range that will return both the local and necessary nerve circulation and the intra-neural axoplasmic flow, also critical to normal nerve function.
PNM incorporates all aspects of manual physical assessment of neurologic function. This level of specificity allows the practitioner to gain a highly accurate understanding of functional capacity of your patients' nervous system and a baseline of what neural deformations exist and how to know when they've changed. As stated by the famed Pediatric Neurologist, William DeMyer, "a masterful history and examination, conducted with competence and grace leads to the [therapist's] pleasure in discovery and to the patient's trust in the [therapist.] No technologic procedure or computerized form can ever replace the mutual knowing process and bonding that occur during the clinical encounter. Mastery of the neurologic examination provides a giant step in achieving the clinical competence that fosters the maximum reward for you and the maximum benefit for your patients throughout your career."
Post treatment movements are also shown and emphasized during this class. The focus will be on when, if and how to most effectively apply these powerful neural flossing techniques to ensure easy and free movement of the neural tissues through, by and around adjacent and interacting structures. Differentiating where the symptoms are primarily being generated from is a key factor that will be utilized during this class. Whether the issues stem primarily from disc compressive issues or myofascial entrapment, the ideal movements and relief positions for the patient will be a primary goal. Ensuring that the patient has a means of taking control of their disorder will expedite the rehabilitation of the patient. Utilizing the understanding of the nervous system as a connected unit that may display symptoms due to mechanical or chemical forces that have been caused from a part of the neural continuum very distal to the site of symptoms will help the practitioner to critically analyze where and when to treat symptoms and often this will have implications nowhere close to where the patient complains of issues.
