The Relationship Between Manipulative Therapy
and the CNS

22 September 2012

Presented by: Jens Anders Kjersem, DC

Course Synopsis

Many manual medicine practitioners have a specific interest in improving their ability to detect and treat'misbehaving' soft-tissues, not least because of their ability to perpetuate joint dysfunction. Recently there has been an emergence of a number of modern soft tissue techniques, many of which involve complex protocols, extended seminar attendance or highly priced equipment.

The aim of the seminar is to enable the delegate to become proficient in the use of these
techniques, and is presented in the context of those factors which generate neuromusculoskeletal
pain and dysfunction, so will include discussion of concepts including:

• How overloads in the tissues of the weight-bearing structures produce dysfunction in sensory receptors and uncoordinated postural balances.

• How the TPH and the TC may affect sensory receptors by increasing mobility and circulation.

• How we may treat sciatica more efficiently with a TPH.

• How the nervous system reacts to postural alterations.

• How leg length discrepancies may be cloaked and how to accurately measure leg length deficiencies.

• How to find and treat dysfunctions affecting the sensory nervous system.

• How to most appropriately prescribe heel-lifts to patients with leg length deficiencies.
