NeuroFascial Integration 203

Course overview

Hour 1: *List the relevant indications to assess using cross-crawl patterning. *Describe testing procedures to determine specific cross-crawl pattern issues. *Describe testing procedures to assess for signs of sympatheticotonia. *Describe testing procedures to assess for signs of imbalance. Hour 2: *Perform seated functional range of motion testing with segmental and curve analysis. *Perform standing functional range of motion testing with segmental and curve analysis. *Describe fascial considerations to modify common orthopedic tests (including straight leg raise, supine apparent arm length inequality, bilateral prone knee flexion, and Soto Hall). *List the orthopedic exam procedures specifically relevant to Fascial Kinetic Chain tension. Hour 3: *Describe clinical considerations in terms of safety of providing care (knowing when to adjust and when NOT to adjust). *Define what is "primary" (including considerations of "cause" as well as "least stressful point of access" to determine what to adjust or otherwise apply therapeutic input). *Recognize patterns of and describe gestalt clinical interpretation for sympatheticotonia. *Recognize patterns of and describe gestalt clinical interpretation for adverse mechanical tension in the Fascial Kinetic Chain. *Describe patterns of peripheral nerve interference found through synthesis of clinical history and exam procedures. Hour 4: *Summarize the concept of an initial Therapeutic Trial of care, including reasoning behind it and how to complete this extension of initial assessment in order to customize patient care. *Describe considerations for technique selection (including where to start, how intensely to adjust, and how to adjust). *Explain reasoning behind initial frequency of care, and how/when/why to modify this frequency. *Describe the considerations for projecting response to care and prognosis. *Summarize guidelines for patient home care recommendations, including considerations for movement and rest, ergonomics, nutrition, and referrals when appropriate.
