Lower Quarter 2 Course

Michael Shacklock (DipPT, MAppScMSK, FACP) and NDS Neurodynamic Solutions are very pleased to announce that we are now providing courses for more advanced practice in Clinical Neurodynamics.  

NDS Neurodynamic Solutions has taught more than 10,000 clinicians and scientists worldwide in Shacklock's Clinical Neurodynamics approach and, with growing demand and requests for further development in NDS practical courses, two more courses are being released:

  • Clinical Neurodynamics upper quarter 2
  • Clinical Neurodynamics lower quarter 2.


These courses take neurodynamics further into:

  • many more important and unrecognised neural problems
  • more advanced concepts in neurodynamics and their relations with the musculoskeletal system.
  • higher skill levels in diagnosis and physical treatment.

​
Course Highlights

More diagnostic categories and advanced clinical reasoning illustrations of Shacklock's Clinical Neurodynamics system.

Demonstrations of neurodynamic problem solving.

Detailed hands-on (manual and active) neurodynamics and discussional elements. 

Many new techniques for manual diagnosis and integration of the nervous with musculoskeletal rehabilitation through to performance.
Course Objectives 

Advance and refine manual diagnosis and treatment skills to new areas of neurodynamics.

Learn diagnoses and manual treatments for more nerves and neurodynamic dysfunctions:
​
  • more nerve diagnostic and therapeutic techniques

  • provide a new, mechanisms and evidence-informed, clinical reasoning model for more direct and easier problem solving for neurodynamic disorders

  • update the latest validity and diagnostic and therapeutic efficacy evidence for neurodynamics

  • present new neurodynamics scientific studies that increase clarification of neurodynamic mechanisms and broaden neurodynamics into more clinical syndromes

  • provide more progressions of neurodynamic techniques from the severe pain and incapacity through to neurodynamics for high performance in sport and athletics
    ​
  • provide a new evidence-informed clinical reasoning model for neurodynamics that can be used to include or rule in or rule out neurodynamic disorders, classify disorders in terms of mechanisms and plan and execute treatment for all levels of patient/client function

  • how to apply more extensively bilateral neurodynamic tests according to our recently published validation studies.

    ​
NOTE: the prerequisite for attending the upper quarter 2 and lower quarter 2 courses are the upper 1 and lower quarter 1 courses.

What You Learn

How to:
​
  • diagnose the existence (or absence) of neurodynamic disorders (rule in or out)

  • treat new and more complex movement dysfunctions in relation to neurodynamic disorders

  • detect a neurodynamic aspect to muscle dysfunctions and imbalances
    ​
  • create progressions for severe pain and incapacity through to high performance for the sports person and athlete.


Detect and treat the neurodynamic aspect to:

  • self-treatment and mobilisations combining interface and nerve root for low back and lumbar radiculopathy

  • complex lumbar multi-dysfunctions: sliding and opening and closing dysfunctions

  • differentiate between hamstring length produced by hamstrings versus a neural element
    ​
  • progress hamstring rehabilitation with a neural element from early first aid to rehab through to performance

  • apply the bilateral and contralateral straight leg raises to more clinical problems (buttock pain and thigh pain/hamstrings)

  • test for femoral nerve and muscular components to anterior thigh and knee pain

  • medial knee pain, genicular and saphenous nerve branches
  • sural nerve disorders for calf, Achilles tendon and foot pain

  • medial heel and plantar foot pain through the medial calcaneal nerve
  • integrated techniques for plantar fascia disorders with a neural element (eg. tibial and medial and plantar nerves)

  • opening, closing and nerve mobilisation progressions for the interdigital nerves.

The course includes combined digital manual techniques over nerves during neurodynamic mobilisations.
