Making Connections: Manual Therapy For The Nervous System In Pain

Course Description:

This course introduces the concept of dermoneuromodulating as a means of “hacking” the nervous system by persuading it to “reboot”. Diane Jacobs reviews brain and spinal cord evolution and how it relates to a pain experience. Participants will gain a better understanding of neural pathways, how they might be harmed by mechanical deformation and “hacked” with therapeutic touch. Upon completing this course, anyone with a license to touch people who treats patients in pain will have a roadmap for setting up a successful “hack” to resolve pain problems.

Course Objectives

Can manual therapy "hack" the nervous system and change a patient's pain experience?

In this course, participants will explore answers to the following questions:

• How can I deal with a new patient in pain?
• How did the nervous system evolve to what it is today?
• What is tunnel syndrome, and how does mechanical deformation impact nerves?
• What are the non-specific effects of manual therapy?
• What is "descending modulation"?

Who Is This Course For: 

This course is relevant to all healthcare professionals.
