Every time a health professional touches, massages, adjusts, mobilises, manipulates, needles, exercises or rehabs a patient, they are changing a patient’s muscle tone. This often help to alleviate their pain or immobility. However, often the benefits are short-term and can’t alter the patient’s physiology in a way that solves chronic health problems.
Afferentology develops your understanding of afferent input to assess it consciously, deliberately and predictably – and manage abnormalities reliably and predictably.
Afferentology adds to your existing skill set. You keep your existing treatments and modalities but the application of those treatments will be better informed by afferentology examinations.
This course features 3 hours of video lessons which are a mixture of lectures, clinical demonstrations and seminar footage which teaches any health practitioner to assess and treat difficult and complex patients with ease, in accordance with their professional qualification.
Afferentology is the starting point for any health practitioner who wants to get better at patient-specific diagnosis.
The tools you learn here can be integrated with any technique and training you currently use, and it will help you use them better.
You’ll learn how to test EVERY muscle, even the ones that “can’t” be tested. “Muscle inhibition” is the silent epidemic behind all injury and most illness, but you’ll never know how common it is if you don’t test for it.
Not every patient is straightforward. Some have local inhibition and weakness, others have bilateral weakness, multiple weaknesses and a few present with global weakness.
This course gives you the tools and the principles you need to solve all these issues.
Once you have found muscle inhibition we run through many treatment options. Global muscle inhibition is often due to a deficiency or a toxicity. Afferentology helps you work out exactly what your patient is deficient in or what might be causing their toxicity.
One of the major overlooked causes of abnormal afferent input is metal jewellery, especially piercings.
Using strength as your guide, you will be able to determine if jewellery is preventing the recovery of your patient.
“The most logical and rational approach to muscle testing, diagnosis and patient betterment that I have read, listened to or practiced.”
Just wanted to thank you for the great courses, and I am using the knowledge from the courses on every patient I have, and they couldn’t be happier. This really is accelerates the Philosophy from structure to function.
Life changing is all I can say, phenomenal results and happy patients. Never been so content as a practitioner as I have been since learning these skills, thank you.
