Functional Diagnosis and Treatment of Muscle Dysfunction: Evalution and Treatment of Inhibited and Hypertonic Muscles – Credit Hours: 2Clinical

This course will provide the clinician the instruction necessary to understand how to diagnose inhibited muscles using static posture and gait analysis and treatment of those inhibited muscles using Origin/Insertion, Myogelosis, Trigger Point, Reactive Muscle Pairs, and Neurolymphatic Reflex techniques.  This course will review the basic principles of static posture and gait and the neurology, and physiology of muscles and what may cause them to be inhibited or hypertonic. If you do any muscle therapy in your practice this course will add to your treatment arsenal!

Functional Diagnosis and Treatment of Muscle Dysfunction: The Art of Muscle Testing – Credit Hours: 2Clinical

This course instructs the Clinician  how to functionally muscle test common muscles seen in a musculoskeletal practice which will improve the diagnosis of the correct vertebral or extremiy subluxation. It takes a deep dive into the principles of muscle anatomy, neurology, physiology and action. The clinician will learn how to diagnose muscle dysfunctions using the ability to determine inhibited and hypertonic muscles.  This course is recommended to be taken with Evaluation and Treatment of Inhibited and Hypertonic Muscles and together, will solidify your ability to make certain you are adjusting the correct subluxation through muscle biomechanics which will improve your patient outcomes!
