Neuro Orthopaedic Institute-Mobilisation of the Neuroimmune System

Mobilise – to prepare, to awaken and to move.

NOI’s classic, longest running course, Mobilisation of the Nervous System, has evolved. Based on the latest evidence, the course has been completely updated and re-written.

The immune system via its interaction with the nervous system is a critical player in learning, memory, movement and sensitivity. This new understanding integrates peripheral and central processes and targets therapy towards healthy neuroimmune balance.

This comprehensive lecture and hands-on course integrates the latest research on neurodynamics and neuroimmune science to provide a clinical reasoning framework to identify those patients who will benefit from neuroimmune mobilisation.

The course updates and refines the essential practical skills to examine and manage the physical health of the nervous system – skilled, safe and appropriately timed handling techniques are covered in detail during practical sessions.

A comprehensive course on the diagnosis and management of physical dysfunction of the nervous system. With 50% practical work and the latest neurobiology, clinicians will be able to rapidly merge the material into all existing manual therapy frameworks.

COURSE AIMS

• Provide a basic knowledge of neuroanatomy, neurodynamics, neuroimmunology and neuropathobiology related to the manual examination of the nervous system.

• Teach safe and effective diagnostic skills in the examination and interpretation of physical dysfunction of the nervous system.

• Present neurodynamic movements and techniques as antigenic.

• Provide new therapeutic narrative for explaining symptoms in conditions with altered neurodynamics.

• Deliver a deeper understanding of known, ‘tough’ clinical presentations such as chronic nerve root problems and persistent entrapment pathologies.

Instructor: Tim Beames MSc BSc MCSP, UK

Tim lives in London where he works in private practice and is co-founder of Pain and Performance, an organisation which focuses on the treatment of complex and persistent pain states and the provision of pain education for both the patient and health professional. Tim is the principal instructor for NOI UK and teaches the Mobilisation of the Nervous System, Neurodynamics and the Neuromatrix, Explain Pain and Graded Motor Imagery courses throughout the UK, Europe and Australia. He is also co-author of the Graded Motor Imagery Handbook along with Lorimer Moseley, David Butler and Tom Giles

Resources: The Sensitive Nervous System

The Sensitive Nervous System updates and integrates the growing science of neurodynamics. Physical examination of the nervous system is carefully illustrated and explained. Management strategies are underpinned by cutting edge neurobiology and evidence-based medicine
