This 15 hour, 2-day hand on class is designed to update participants on the latest evidence and clinical application of neurodynamics. Neurodynamics is the physical ability of the nervous system allowing it to move, slide, glide and accommodate human movement and function. Compared to more traditional manual therapy models focusing on joints and muscles, neurodynamics is important in restoring normal movement and function. To understand the physical movement of nerves, neuroscience knowledge is explored to understand how pain works from a neurobiological and neurophysiological perspective. This course will discuss the latest research in the use of neurodynamic tests for examination as well as treatment. Mounting evidence supports the use of neurodynamics in various traditional orthopedic-based disorders such as low back pain, radiculopathy, plantar fasciitis, lateral epicondylitis, whiplash, neck pain, carpal tunnel, post-surgery, ankle sprains and more. This lab intensive class will discuss the most commonly used neurodynamic tests for the upper limb, trunk and lower extremity, ensuring skillful handling, sound clinical reasoning and neuroscience knowledge. The course will systematically demonstrate all neurodynamic tests, discuss research related to each test, various passive and active treatment options, treating tissues around the nervous system, home exercises, neuroscience education with neurodynamics and more. This course is a must for all therapists treating patients in pain.
