NEURAL MOBILIZATION OF THE UPPER QUADRANT WITH MYOFASCIAL MOBILIZATION

Have you ever wondered why some patients do not report any symptoms during neu-rological tension/ mobility testing but shortly after release, or questioned if the nerve is truly gliding when given an HEP If you have questioned yourself about the Intra-neural adhesion’s when nerve gliding exercises are given and worried if you were in-fact stretching the nerve than gliding it, then come join us to learn how to discern the areas of adhesion’s and to safely glide the nerve without stretching the nerve at its entrapment site This course questions the basic philosophy of nerve gliding exercises and ensure that the nerve gliding that is done is actually therapeutic. The nerve is gliding through the adhesion’s of its surrounding tissues and entrapment sites caused by fibrosis and not stretching and creating further damage.

COURSE OBJECTIVE

  • Learn the basics and assessment techniques of Upper Limb Tension Tests (ULTT)
  • Learn the difference between Neural Flossing and Neural Stretching
  • Learn how to find obstructions to neural gliding
  • Learn the Myofascial techniques with Nerve glide to release the nerve at various entrapment sites to ensure gliding of the nerve and prevent tensioning the nerve.
  • Learn how to establish customized exercise program for each patient based on the entrapment site and prescribe a home exercise program to enhance the results achieved in therapy via Myofascial with Nerve glides.
  • Also learn the different neural taping (Leuko/ Kinesio) to reduce the entrapment/ pressure on the nerves.
  • Find out more on how you can retain the effects of the gains made in therapy via taping (Leuko/ Kinesio) and exercises, thus a faster recovery.
  • Bring your own Leuko/ Kinesio tape for practice.
