Active Release Techniques® Nerve – Milan/Busto Arsizio, Italy

Active Release Techniques® Nerve Seminar offers advanced training in 90 manual treatment protocols pertaining to local, terminal, and long tract nerve entrapments. Completion of the Upper Extremity, Lower Extremity, and Spine Level 1 seminars (or Full Body Level 1) is a prerequisite for the Nerve seminar. The seminar comprises two parts: 1) an online component and 2) a live, in-person, hands-on instruction seminar. Completion of both parts is required to obtain certification.

This seminar is taught in-person and is almost entirely “hands-on.” We offer a small student-to-instructor ratio to ensure quality education. Providers learn and practice manual palpation and treatment modalities to diagnose and treat nerve entrapments, neuropathies, and associated disorders. Evaluation and treatment occur simultaneously.

After completing our Nerve seminar, you will be able to explain neural pathologies to your patients and identify nerve entrapments via differential palpation. Additionally, you will be able to free identified nerve entrapments, which facilitates healing of the nerve by releasing surrounding tissue and facilitating nerve slide via ART protocols and methods.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

At the end of this course, the student will be able to do the following, which will be proven and documented via written test (WT) and practical test (PT):

•  Identify and define the 3 types of nerve injuries (WT)
•  Identify and define the effect of compression on nerve function (WT)
•  Identify and define the 3 types of nerve entrapments (WT)
•  Palpate the nerves of the brachial plexus, as well as their branches (PT)
•  Use Active Release Techniques® to free the nerves from their entrapment sites by softening the soft tissues around it and facilitating nerve slide via Active Release Techniques® (PT)
•  Palpate the nerves of the lumbosacral plexus, as well as their branches (PT)
•  Use Active Release Techniques® to free the nerves of the sacral plexus, and its branches, from their entrapment sites by softening the soft tissues around it and facilitating nerve slide via Active Release Techniques® (PT)
