Course overview

**This course is NCCAOM and CE Broker approved. Completions will be automatically reported to CE Broker instantly** This course offers practitioners a neuroscience-grounded lens for understanding pain, posture, and how manual therapy actually works in the body. Material moves beyond traditional musculoskeletal thinking to examine pain as a constructed, brain-driven experience distinct from raw nociception and shaped by sensitization, descending modulation, and broader endocrine and immune influences. Coverage explores posture as an adaptive behavioral output influenced by nociception, emotions, interoception, and social context, and walks through the neurological mechanisms behind bodywork.
