The course will examine elements of the movement exam from developmental kinesiology and movement systems approaches while also assessing Neurodynamics elements.
Course Objectives - Upon completion of the course, the clinician will be able to :
Apply when to utilize Neurodynamics interventions vs Movement or developmental approaches for treatment of nerve conditions in the upper extremity/shoulder.
Integrate both Movement and Neurodynamic assessments into their examination of patients with nerve related issues in the upper extremity / shoulder.
