Synopsis: This is a specialized course focusing on the impact of whiplash.

Course Highlights:

• Study the three primary areas of trauma as they relate to whiplash: physical laws, evaluation and treatment.
• Learn the appropriate anatomy and physiology for treatment of whiplash and trauma conditions.
• Learn to locate and release restrictions along the meningeal system.
• Assess injuries to the soft tissues of the cervical region and learn treatment protocols for optimal release.
• Learn tests to determine restriction patterns of the cervicobrachial region.
• Understand how whiplash creates restriction patterns throughout the body.
• Identify techniques that encompass the whole body, as the whole body receives collision forces in a whiplash injury, not just the cervical spine.
• Learn to evaluate restrictions in the lumbosacral region.
• Discover new applications of visceral manipulation principles and techniques as they can be utilized for patients presenting whiplash and other conditions involving trauma.
• Compare treatment sequence and tests for whiplash and traumatic injuries.

Prerequisite: Palpation of Craniosacral Rhythm.
Required Advance Reading: Trauma: An Osteopathic Approach by Jean-Pierre Barral, RPT, DO.

Synopsis: This course explores evaluation and treatment techniques for peripheral nerves of the upper body.

Course Highlights:

• Explore in detail the anatomy and function of the peripheral nerves of the upper body.
• Discover typical pain patterns that arise from dysfunction of these peripheral nerves.
• Learn evaluation methods and treatment techniques to facilitate normal functioning of these peripheral nerves.
• Discover various methods for releasing restrictions in nerves.
• Explore practical integration into treatment sessions.

Prerequisite: Neural Manipulation: Neuromeningeal Manipulation (NM1) or Visceral Approach to Trauma and Whiplash (VTW).
Required Advance Reading: Manual Therapy for Peripheral Nerves by Jean-Pierre Barral, RPT, DO; and Alain Croibier, D.O.

Synopsis: This course explores evaluation and treatment techniques for nerves of the brain, and cranial region.

Course Highlights:

• Explore in detail the anatomy and function of the brain and cranial nerves.
• Discover typical pain patterns that arise from dysfunction of the brain and cranial nerves.
• Learn evaluation methods and treatment techniques to facilitate normal functioning of these nerves.
• Learn differential evaluation skills to determine skull, suture and brain fixation.
• Explore how compressions of the brain cause dysfunction in the cranial nerves.
• Discover how intercranial pressure affects the function of the entire body, and cranial techniques to bring about normal functioning.
• Learn practical integration into treatment sessions.

Prerequisite: Neural Manipulation: Peripheral Nerve Manipulation; Upper Body (NM2) OR Peripheral Nerve Manipulation; Lower Body (NM3) OR Visceral Approach to Trauma and Whiplash II (VTWII).
Required Advance Reading: Manual Therapy for Cranial Nerves by Jean-Pierre Barral, RPT, DO; and Alain Croibier, D.O.

Synopsis: Synopsis: This course is a fusion of all the levels of the Visceral Manipulation, Neural Manipulation and Manuarl Articular curriculum to enhance effectiveness of the evaluation and treatment process.

Course Highlights:

• Explore the organs in greater depth: structure, ligaments, capsula, nerves.
• Learn more about the metabolic (direct manipulation in compression and decompression on the organs), energetic (organs, brain, nervous system) and emotional (each major organ) components of the body and how they are interrelated.
• Discover ways to combine the treatment of multiple organs, e.g., liver, right kidney, lung, spleen, left kidney, descending colon.
• Learn additional techniques to treat the neuro-viscero-emotional components of a pain condition.
• Explore how to lead a therapeutic session, perform an all encompassing assessment, and choose the best therapy to apply.

Prerequisite: VM3 (Pelvis) OR VM4 (Thorax); and NM2 (Peripheral Nerves Upper Body) OR NM3 (Peripheral Nerves Lower Body; and MALE (Manual Articular Approach Lower Extremity) OR MAUE (Manual Articular Approach Lower Extremity) OR MASP (Manual Articular Approach Spine and Pelvis).
Required Advance Reading: None
