The Ultimate 5-minute exam: Most practitioners
in natural healthcare recognize that every aspect
of human physiology is inter-related. The ultimate
5-minute exam utilizes viscero-somatic reflexes
to correlate musculoskeletal imbalances to internal
dysfunction. This allows the examiner to provide
a deeper level of treatment that may include cranial
manipulation, acupuncture procedures, spinal adjustments,
reflex treatments to improve circulation and lymphatic
drainage, and clinical nutrition.
Clinical
muscle testing: comprehensive instruction on
the art and science of manual muscle testing. Over
120 muscle tests will be covered. |

Spine, cervical and lumbar discs: Precise
evaluation of the spine including evaluation and
treatment of cervical and lumbar discs. Cranial/sacral
corrections: Cranial manipulation has been used
extensively in osteopathic medicine for over 70
years. Practitioners skilled in cranial manipulation
report remarkable improvements in conditions that
may seem completely unrelated to the skull. Applied
kinesiology provides a diagnostic method to evaluate
the skull and the efficacy of cranial treatments.

Soft tissue treatments: One of the basic
principles of applied Kinesiology is that muscles
move bones. If muscular imbalance exists then any
correction to the skeletal system will be temporary.
You will learn methods to diagnose and treat muscular
injuries including origin/insertion, muscle spindle
cell and golgi tendon organ techniques, strain/counterstrain,
fascial flush and trigger-point therapy. Upper
extremity evaluation and treatment: you will
learn comprehensive evaluation and treatment of
the shoulder, the elbow, the wrist, and the hand.
The shoulder joint is the most mobile joint in the
human body. The integrity of this joint is almost
entirely dependent upon muscular balance. Applied
kinesiology techniques allow for precise evaluation
and correction of shoulder dysfunction. Similar
techniques will be reviewed for the elbow, wrist
and hand. |
