Neuro Assessment and Treatment Course

The Neuro Assessment and Treatment Course provides the manual therapist or exercise professional with an in depth understanding of neuroanatomy, neural pain disorders, pain science, and the practical skills to perform a range of neurological assessment procedures and physical treatment techniques.

The nervous system can be a complex and intimidating system to understand and work with, but it is critical for effective assessment and treatment planning. This program has been developed to fill the gap in undergraduate training that so often leaves health practitioners wishing they knew more about how to help their patients with neurological related presentations.

You will receive a comprehensive pre-course learning program that covers everything from basic neuroanatomy all the way through to modern pain science principles to help you understand, classify and treat various clinical pain presentations. The pre-course materials will equip beginners and advanced therapists with a strong foundational understanding of the nervous system, and the 2-day practical training will bring the theory to life and make it easy to apply in the clinical setting.

  • An overview of the nervous system

    You will be guided through the fundamentals of the nervous system in detail with a comprehensive breakdown of the structure and function of the central and peripheral nervous system, providing you with the underpinning knowledge of how the nervous system operates and communicates.

  • Explore the nervous system

    Using amazing 3D digital animation, we explore the nervous system and all its components in numerous detailed videos. We break it down and help you understand each part and how it relates to, and influences the rest of the body. The neuroanatomy videos will also assist in guiding your assessment and treatment approach.

    3D anatomy

  • Pain neuroscience

    Take a deep dive in to the world of pain neuroscience, exploring the complexity of a pain experience. This course will provide participants with a contemporary approach to understanding pain mechanisms and explaining pain in clinical practice.

The practical component of this course will guide you through the structure and function of the peripheral nervous system in a hands on manner, along with neurological assessment procedures such as sensory and motor testing, reflex testing and neurodynamic testing.
In addition to developing these skills, you will gain an understanding of what these assessment findings mean and what we as practitioners can do with that information in the clinical setting.

  • Neurological treatment skills

    Learning the theory is not enough, we must learn how to apply it and use it to help our patients. Developing the practical skills to dramatically improve neurological related clinical presentations will unlock a whole range of opportunities to change the quality of your patient’s lives.

    Neuro Assessment and Treatment technique

  • Neurological assessment skills

    Developing a wide range of evidence based neurological assessment skills will absolutely change your clinical outcomes. Sensory testing, reflex testing, motor testing, neurodynamic testing… We cover it all!
