Neural Manipulation -Level 1
- The fundation course of
the training series
- A képzéssorozat alapozó kurzusa
- Practical and effective
techniques
- A non-invasive method that can be used immediately
ABOUT THE TRAINING
Neural Manipulation, developed by Jean-Pierre Barral and Alain Croibier, focuses on the mechanical relationship between the skull and spine, as well as the dura and neural elements. This method offers an examination and treatment approach that targets dural and neural blocks, which are often overlooked in musculoskeletal symptoms. NM1 is a specialized training that primarily focuses on the effects of various traumas and whiplash injuries.

FURTHER COURSE HIGHLIGTS
NM1 is a specialized course focusing on the impact of trauma and whiplash.
• tudy the three primary areas of trauma as they relate to whiplash: physical
laws, evaluation and treatment.
• Learn the appropriate anatomy and physiology for treatment of whiplash
and trauma conditions.
• Learn to locate and release restrictions along the meningeal system.
• Assess injuries to the soft tissues of the cervical region and learn treatment
protocols for optimal release.
• Learn tests to determine restriction patterns of the cervicobrachial region.
Understand how whiplash creates restriction patterns throughout the body.
• Identify techniques that encompass the whole body, as the whole body
receives collision forces in a whiplash injury, not just the cervical spine.
• Learn to evaluate restrictions in the lumbosacral region.
• Discover new applications of visceral manipulation principles and
techniques as they can be utilized for patients presenting whiplash and
other conditions involving trauma.
• Compare treatment sequence and tests for whiplash and traumatic injuries.
