Neuro-Release Treatment (NRT) online home study course utilizes the IDN neurologic model of a local, segmental, and systemic treatment approach. This course is designed to provide participants with a deeper understanding of how to improve movement and human performance through various manual therapy tools. The therapeutic effects of Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Massage (IASTM), Percussion /Vibration Massage, and Cupping on musculoskeletal, neuropathic, and radiculopathic pain syndromes will be discussed and clearly demonstrated. The negative effects that peripheral nerve inflammation has on muscle function and how IASTM, Percussion/Vibration Massage, and Cupping can assist in maximizing human (athletic) performance is explained. NRT is taught with a patient centered manual therapy approach that encompasses the emotional, physical, and neurologic aspects of treating pain and movement dysfunction.
The examination and management of peripheral nerve inflammation/sensitization, neuromuscular dysfunction and biomechanical imbalance of the musculoskeletal system will be presented. Integration of Manual Therapy and other treatment options will be included that will complement the efficacy of treatment. A considerable amount of video lab demonstration is focused on assuring safe and effective advanced manual therapy skills with an emphasis on clinical decision-making.
Pre-requisites: None
The purpose of the NeuroRelease Treatment Course is to teach physical therapists, physical therapy assistants, chiropractors, athletic trainers, massage therapists and other health care providers to better utilize the IDN neurologic treatment model without the application of dry needling. A deeper understanding of the application of manual therapy tools within the lens of the neuro-immune system is discussed. This creates opportunities of treatment in different areas, and for patients or practitioners not able to do dry needling. This course is appropriate for clinicians that are new or have had prior experience with the IDN treatment model. Our 720 degree Integrative method uses a research-based approach to treat sensory and peripheral nerve distributions seamlessly integrating cupping, instrument-assisted massage, and percussion massage to manage both acute and chronic pain conditions covering the entire body.
We will help you develop a simple and effective approach that expands on your current clinical skills to provide an even greater level of patient satisfaction. .
Neuro-Release Treatment: Using the 720 degree Integrative Approach course will discuss;
At the conclusion of the course participants are required to pass, at 80% or better a practical examination based on a clinical case study demonstrating clinical reasoning and decision-making related to the NRT course concepts.
