Scrape, Tape, Cup,and Glide: Restoring Space, Motion, and Slack for Restricted Neural Dynamics of the Lower Quarter
Friday, June 1st, and Saturday, June 2nd, 2018
Friday, June 1st Registration: begins at 4:30 pm, Program time: 5:00 pm-9:00 pm
Saturday, June 2nd 7:30 am check in. Program time: 8:00 am-6:00 pm
Course Description:
The concept of restricted neural dynamics is not new, however, its impact on our patients’ daily activities and movement tolerance is often overlooked during the examination and treatment of our patients. This course integrates the basic concept of “test-treat-retest” as a foundation to manage these challenging patients. Motion-based interventions consisting of neural flossing, nerve bed/nerve differential gliding, instrument assisted soft tissue mobilization (IASTM), and negative pressure soft tissue mobilization (cupping); as well as corrective exercises and taping are covered in this lower extremity focused course. The basic principle that neural tissue needs space, motion, and slack for optimal healing potential underpins all concepts covered.
Objectives: At the completion of this course you will be able to:
- Recognize the 3 conditions neural tissue requires for optimal health and healing potential
- Apply and document findings for neural mobility testing of the LE biasing the sciatic, tibial, fibular, sural, femoral, saphenous, and obturator neural tissue and nerve beds
- Differentiate between neural and non-neural structures of the LE through positioning, palpation and symptom behavior
- Generate a treatment plan, and establish goals and prognosis based on exam results using specific case studies as a teaching vehicle
- Identify, understand and apply basic treatment to restore space, motion, and slack including gliding and tensioning exercises, manual techniques, and home exercise/ADL modifications for the LE with case studies and labs
- Choose appropriate IASTM treatments to enhance movement and space for movement dysfunctions resulting from restricted neural mobility of the lower quarter
- Choose from among 3 basic negative pressure soft tissue techniques (cupping) over the nerve bed to enhance space and movement for addressing restricted neural dynamics
