It may surprise you to learn that some of the hard and tender knots we've furiously been working on are actually swollen and potentially inflamed and tethered nerves. Neural mobilization skills will dramatically increase your level of results and set you apart. This live, hands-on technique class will be an introduction to working directly with the nerves and superficial fascia to restore joint mobility and decrease pain, and is based in part on concepts from JP Barral, Alain Crobier, and Don Hazen, DC.
We will learn to slow down, refine our touch of the superficial layers and palpate and release several nerves in the shoulder, arm, lower neck, and upper back. You will learn how tethered cutaneous nerves contribute to shoulder, neck, and arm pain, and learn a set of specific techniques for release, differentiation, and repositioning of the local nerve fields, including the brachial plexus, and the following nerves: musculocutaneous, axillary, radial, median, dorsal scapular, suprascapular, ulnar, and spinal accessory. We will also discuss concepts of fibromyalgia, central sensitization and neurogenic inflammation.
