SEMINAR OVERVIEW
ART Nerve provides evidence-based instruction of the necessary skills to detect and treat local, terminal, and long tract nerve entrapments. Throughout the seminar, attendees review basic nerve anatomy, neurodynamics, and neuropathology, which provides the basis for instruction on appropriate use and execution of 90 manual protocols. Attendees will also learn how to evaluate and treat nerve dysfunctions, entrapments, and pathologies using the ART Diagnostic Algorithm. Nerve protocols can be used to treat a broad list of dysfunctions, including headaches, carpal tunnel syndrome, sciatic pain, and other complex soft-tissue dysfunctions.
CORE LEARNING OBJECTIVES
- Identify and define the three types of nerve injury.
- Identify and define the effect of compression on nerve function.
- Identify and define the three types of nerve entrapments.
- Proficiently palpate local, terminal, and long tract nerves within the human musculoskeletal systems using an appropriate tension, depth, and motion to perform the treatment protocol.
- Effectively recall and differentiate symptom patterns and patient presentations from that of soft-tissue dysfunction and neural pathology.
DELIVERY FORMAT AND METHOD OF INSTRUCTION
ART Nerve seminars provide a hybrid learning model with online modules and in-person training. Attendees are expected to complete online preparatory materials consisting of a review of gross anatomy, explanations of the ART Diagnostic Algorithm, treatment methodology, protocol instructions, and a pre-credentialing exam. During the in-person portion of the seminar, attendees work alongside instructors and other attendees to practice palpation and treatment protocols. After completing the online modules and 24 hours of in-person training, attendees will demonstrate their skills through a practical exam to determine if they meet minimum requirements to use ART treatment in a clinical setting.
PRE-REQUISITES
Must be ART Full Body Level 1 certified to qualify.
