Simple Solutions for Complex Joints

$129.99 Standard

Too many therapists jump straight to aggressive manipulation techniques without fully appreciating the involvement of the nervous system.  Dysfunction within complex joints is often misinterpreted as weakness and requires a different lens of evaluation/treatment to obtain lasting results.  Take a deep dive into joints like the upper cervical and cuboid as you investigate how to: 

  • Go beyond the traditional pain provocation model of assessment for improved outcomes 
  • Quickly identify and treat reflex inhibition vs protracted weakness  
  • Integrate strategies that simultaneously address muscle inhibition and nociception 

This evidence-based toolkit will help you to reframe the way you develop your treatment plan and clearly identify when the traditional model of manipulation is not the best fit.   With these gentle, yet effective techniques, you’ll see results in as few as 1-3 visits!
