Manual Therapy to Eliminate Multiple Nerve Compression Patterns of the Upper Body

Course overview

State-of-the-art anatomy and nerve graphics will allow manual therapists to look inside the human body. Starting with the brain and spinal cord, therapists will use positional release, muscle energy techniques, and soft tissue balancing protocols to address OA and C-1-C-2 fixations, cervical kyphosis (military neck), spinal stenosis patterns, and stuck facet joints, and treat sprains and strains throughout the upper body. Nerve tests include, Spurling Test, spinal nerve compression, Eden's test, costo-clavicular syndrome; Adson's test, scalene and first rib involvement; tests to identify Cubital Tunnel and Guyon's Canal (ulnal tunnel) conditions; Test for Bicipital Aponeurosis tendinosis; median nerve scarring; Pronator Teres Test; median nerve entrapment and Tests for Carpal Tunnel Syndrom. Also including Tinnels Test, Phalen's Test, and Tethered Median Nerve Tests. Complicated shoulder capsular adhesions will also be addressed, and home care retraining will include spinal decompression, nerve glide, and nerve tensioning protocols.
