Clinical Interventions: Concussion Recovery; Barral Manual Therapy (CI-CRBMT)

The objectives of this workshop will be for each participant:

• Be able to describe the basic premise and clinical reasoning for neurological, visceral and fascial manipulation for the post concussive patient.
• Identify how specific manual therapy can enhance our treatment outcomes for post concussive injuries and their related symptoms (such as head pain, cervical dysfunction, loss of memory, depression, anxiety, fatigue and sleep disorders)
• Palpate and identify deeper fascial restrictions within the articular, diaphragmatic, visceral, neural, vascular and craniosacral systems of the body as they relate to clinical tests and treatments.
• Understand the connections between your organs, emotions, trauma and pain for concussion recovery.

Course Highlights:
~Concussion injury - from acute to chronic
