Description

This lecture will describe a functional neurological model for sports chiropractic using muscle testing combined with standard mechanical and orthopaedic testing. We will look at the rationale for 'adaptive range' in explaining the non-traumatic insidious onset sports injuries as well as optimising athletic performance.
We will describe how uninjured does not equal fully fit and how latent and sub-clinical mechanical and neurological compromise can manifest as poor performance and increased injury risk. There will be an emphasis on practical demonstration of techniques.

If you want to be able to explain to your patients why they injured for 'no apparent reason', why their injury is recurring , find the 'cause' of the athlete's loss of form and have the tools and rationale for assessing uninjured athletes in order to improve their performance - then this lecture is for you.

Who Can Attend:

This lecture is essential for all manual therapists (NHS, private practice and sport), sports therapists, sports rehabilitators, sports massage therapists and sports physicians.
