Course Description
This course is for health practitioners and professionals who prescribe movement re-education and rehabilitation for neurological, neuromuscular disorders, and for neurodivergent adults, and children.
This unique and functional approach to rehabilitation focuses on re-educating movement patterns interrupted after movement dysfunction, neurological conditions, injury, surgery or even inactivity. You will learn a series of functional techniques that you can immediately use in your practice.
This movement re-patterning methodology has been developed to educate the neuromuscular and proprioceptive systems, not only on how to move but how fast to move thereby enhancing movement efficiency, movement performance, and injury prevention. First, you will learn to analyze movement patterns using the DMS
Functional Movement Analysis. This will teach you how to spot uncontrolled, inefficient, and compensatory movement. You will then learn a series of techniques and exercises that are designed to correct the firing sequence within the CNS, correct the transition time within the CNS, develop motor control and improve overall functional movement. The movements are progressive from simple-to-advanced patterns and from low-level-to-high-level.
You will learn and experience basic movement re-education to functional neuromuscular stimulation, to dynamic movement development. It is a very practical- based course with lots of physical participation in order that you can fully understand the correct technique and experience the physical effects of the movements.
