​NEW!  Shacklock's NDS Clinical Neurodynamics Level 2 Courses

Upper Quarter 2 Course - see below

Other Courses
SECOND TIER NEURODYNAMICS COURSES NOW AVAILABLE!

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.


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

​
Upper Quarter 2 Course - 2 days

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


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. 

Two new neurodynamic models for specific application to different regions and structures based on regional variations in anatomy and biomechanics.

Many new techniques for manual diagnosis and integration of the nervous with the musculoskeletal system and rehabilitation.


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





How to detect and treat the neurodynamic aspect to:
​
  • cervicogenic headache and suboccipital myodural connections (upper cervical spine)
  • thoracic outlet, scalenes, first rib and brachial plexus, scapular dyskinesia
  • suprascapular nerve
  • axillary nerve (aka posterior shoulder pain in the athlete, eg. pitcher, swimmer)
  • medial elbow pain (median and ulnar nerves at the elbow), pronator and cubital tunnel syndromes
  • radial sensory nerve - applied to thumb pain and masquerading as de Quervain's disease
  • ulnar nerve at the wrist - Guyon's canal
  • digital nerves.

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