  • The tremendous amount of knowledge that you have and your willingness and ability to share is absolutely second to none. You're great at creating a welcoming environment for everyone to feel comfortable and ask questions. There were so many things I loved about the course but I think it really helped me gain a greater appreciation and enjoyment in my practice. It seems to be so often in manual therapy that we don't really understand what we are doing, or why we are doing it, but we do it because it works. I think the research you present and the organization / application of the techniques allows so much greater specificity in treatment approach and expected outcome. When things don't go as planned with a patient, having the understanding as to why that might be, and to modify based on those principles is very rewarding. I feel very grateful for your help in putting together so much of your information into such a well organized and digestible format!

  • The course was absolutely fantastic, and probably my favorite of all time.

  • Michael is an exceptional teacher and is able to communicate the depth of the course material in a manner that makes it interesting, digestible and applicable. The transition from theory into the application and his demonstration of how to apply and coach the material and methods makes this course a valuable addition to a practitioners toolkit.

Advance and refine manual diagnosis and treatment skills to new areas of neurodynamics.

Learn diagnoses and manual treatments for more nerves and neurodynamic dysfunctions:

  • more nerve diagnostic and therapeutic techniques.
  • provide a new, mechanisms and evidence-informed, clinical reasoning model for more direct and easier problem solving for neurodynamic disorders.
  • update the latest validity and diagnostic and therapeutic efficacy evidence for neurodynamics.
  • present new neurodynamics scientific studies that increase clarification of neurodynamic mechanisms and broaden neurodynamics into more clinical syndromes.
  • provide more progressions of neurodynamic techniques from the severe pain and incapacity through to neurodynamics for high performance in sport and athletics.
  • provide a new evidence-informed clinical reasoning model for neurodynamics that can be used to include or rule in or rule out neurodynamic disorders, classify disorders in terms of mechanisms and plan and execute treatment for all levels of patient/client function.
  • how to apply more extensively bilateral neurodynamic tests according to our recently published validation studies.

How to:

  • Diagnose the existence (or absence) of neurodynamic disorders (rule in or out).
  • Treat new and more complex movement dysfunctions in relation to neurodynamic disorders.
  • Detect a neurodynamic aspect to muscle dysfunctions and imbalances.
  • Create progressions for severe pain and incapacity through to high performance for the sports person and athlete.
  • How to apply more extensively bilateral neurodynamic tests according to our recently published validation studies.

Upper Quarter Level 2 - How to detect and treat the neurodynamic aspect to:​

  • Cervicogenic headache and suboccipital myodural connections (upper cervical spine).
  • Thoracic outlet, scalenes, first rib and brachial plexus, scapular dyskinesia.
  • Suprascapular nerve
  • axillary nerve (aka posterior shoulder pain in the athlete, eg. pitcher, swimmer).
  • Medial elbow pain (median and ulnar nerves at the elbow), pronator and cubital tunnel syndromes.
  • Radial sensory nerve - applied to thumb pain and masquerading as de Quervain's disease.
  • Ulnar nerve at the wrist - Guyon's canal.
  • Digital nerves.
  • Techniques for treating nerve with innervated tissues.

Lower Quarter Level 2 - How to detect and treat the neurodynamic aspect to:​

  • self-treatment and mobilisations combining interface and nerve root for low back and lumbar radiculopathy.
  • complex lumbar multi-dysfunctions: sliding and opening and closing dysfunctions.
  • differentiate between hamstring length produced by hamstrings versus a neural element.
  • progress hamstring rehabilitation with a neural element from early first aid to rehab through to performance.
  • apply the bilateral and contralateral straight leg raises to more clinical problems (buttock pain and thigh pain/hamstrings).
  • test for femoral nerve and muscular components to anterior thigh and knee pain.
  • medial knee pain, genicular and saphenous nerve branches.
  • sural nerve disorders for calf, Achilles tendon and foot pain
  • medial heel and plantar foot pain through the medial calcaneal nerve.
  • integrated techniques for plantar fascia disorders with a neural element (eg. tibial and medial and plantar nerves).
  • opening, closing and nerve mobilisation progressions for the interdigital nerves.
  • The course includes combined digital manual techniques over nerves during neurodynamic mobilizations.
