Learn From the Best
Michael Shacklock has done more to advance our understanding of the mechanical properties of nerves than any other researcher. See him present his material here!
The past 40 years have ushered in a new appreciation not only of the systemic health of the nervous system, but also an enhanced understanding of the mechanical properties of the nervous system. Join the foremost authority on this topic, researcher, author, clinician and educator, Michael Shacklock for this 2 hour survey level course on the principles of neurodynamics.
COURSE OBJECTIVES:
Upon completion, the registrant would be able to:
1. Appreciate the differences between classic nerve tension testing and neurodynamic evaluation
2. Distinguish between disorders of mechanical tension and those of sliding dysfunction
3. Recognizing the importance of careful handling skills to gain needed information regarding the nervous system health while reducing patient risks
4. Appreciate the principles of nerve convergence movement around joints
5. Understand that nerves converge towards the joint where tension is applied
6. Understand the elements of contralateral limb movement to affect nerve root and spinal cord mechanics
7. Possess survey level understanding of handling skills to evaluate the most commonly involved upper and lower extremity peripheral nerves.
Instructor
Michael Shacklock, PT
Michael Shacklock received his graduate qualification at the Auckland School of Physiotherapy, New Zealand, in 1980. He worked in public hospitals in the medical, surgical, paediatrics, orthopaedics, geriatrics, intensive care and burns areas around New Zealand before being employed in private practices, treating spinal and sports injuries in Nelson with Michael Monaghan and Auckland with Margaret Franklin.
In 1985 he moved to Adelaide, Australia, working at the Royal Adelaide Hospital and private practices around Adelaide. He completed a Graduate Diploma in Advanced Manipulative Therapy in 1989 and converted this to a Masters degree at the University of South Australia in 1993. He was awarded a Fellow of the Australian College of Physiotherapists (Australian Physiotherapy Association) for his monograph and international best-seller text book, Clinical Neurodynamics, Elsevier, Oxford, 2005.
In addition to his neurodynamics book, he has published two other books, Moving in on Pain (Elsevier) and Biomechanics of the Nervous System: Breig Revisited. He also authored, co-authored and mentored numerous research studies, editorials, commentaries and clinical papers in international peer reviewed journals articles which have garnered many international awards, including Visiting Professor of the Faculty of Medicine, Barcelo University, Buenos Aires (see academic activities on ResearchGate). He was a member of the International Advisory Board of the journal Musculoskeletal Theory and Practice (formerly Manual Therapy), United Kingdom and is an Associate Editor of the Journal of Manual and Manipulative Therapy, USA.
Michael presents keynote addresses and invited conference lectures, trains staff at elite sports medicine facilities and sports clubs, universities, hospitals and private seminars around the world. His special interests are neurodynamics, measurement of mechanical function of the nervous system, pain and the nervous system and musculoskeletal function. His most valued interest is how to synthesise science and clinical practice using evidence and reasoning. Michael is an active clinician, has 35 years of experience in treating patients and is recognised as an international leader in the diagnosis and treatment of musculoskeletal disorders with a neural aspect.
FAQ
CE CREDITS: How do I obtain chiropractic CE credits?
ProChiroOnlineCE offers PACE accreditation for chiropractors in most US states and Canadian provinces. YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR FINDING OUT IF YOUR STATE ACCEPTS PACE ACCREDITATION!
