NEURODYNAMIC SOLUTIONS (NDS)
NEURODYNAMIC SOLUTIONS (NDS) is the teaching organisation founded by Michael Shacklock. It was started with the express aim of offering practical clinical solutions for health professionals around the world in the field of musculoskeletal disorders through conference presentations, seminars and workshops.
We aim to provide the highest possible standard of education through the clinical application of the most advanced research in neurodynamics with emphasis on development of clinical skills.
NEURODYNAMIC SOLUTIONS (NDS) focuses on the musculoskeletal integration of neurodynamics and the interactions between mechanics and physiology of the nervous system.
These are covered in detail in Michael Shacklock's book ‘Clinical Neurodynamics: A New System of Musculoskeletal Treatment’, released by Elsevier Science, Oxford, UK.
Michael Shacklock graduated as a physiotherapist from the Auckland Technical Institute (now the Auckland College of Health Sciences) in 1980.
During his undergraduate training, he quickly developed an interest in manual therapy and was strongly influenced by Kaltenborn, Maitland, McKenzie and Michael Monaghan.
Michael worked in public hospitals and private practices for several years in New Zealand before travelling to Adelaide, South Australia, to take part in post-graduate study.
In 1989, Michael completed a Graduate Diploma in Advanced Manipulative Therapy at the University of South Australia in which his thesis was on the effect of order of movement on the peroneal neurodynamic test where he discovered the concept of neurodynamic sequencing.
Following this, Michael Shacklock then converted his diploma into a Master of Applied Science in 1993.
In 1995 Michael published the paper ‘Neurodynamics’ in the journal Physiotherapy as a stimulus for integration of nervous system physiology into manual therapy.
He has taught internationally for over 10 years and has given numerous keynote and invited presentations.
Michael has studied mechanics and physiology of the nervous system and pain science, performing research and writing a number of publications in these areas.
Michael edited the extremely successful book ‘Moving in on Pain’, the royalties for which were donated to the Physiotherapy Research Foundation.
He has published in ‘Physiotherapy’ and ‘Manual Therapy’ and written leading and invited articles for the Australian Journal of Physiotherapy and New Zealand Journal of Physiotherapy among other publications.
Michael reviews research and publication submissions for organisations such as the Physiotherapy Research Foundation and Manual Therapy.
Michael Shacklock is Director and Principal of Neurodynamic Solutions (NDS) and City Physiotherapy and Sports Injury Clinic, Adelaide, South Australia.
Michael is currently a member of the Australian Physiotherapists’ Association, Musculoskeletal Physiotherapy Australia and the International Association for the Study of Pain.
Michael is a reviewer for the international peer reviewed journals ‘Pain’ and ‘Manual Therapy’.
