The Assessment and Treatment of Proprioceptive Integrity
Dear Friend and Colleague,
As you know, most of our "voluntary" movements are not under conscious control. Up to 90% of muscle activity is controlled via the complex system of checks and balances we call proprioception - the sense that arises from the skin, muscles, ligaments and joints.
Whether you're treating the power-lifter, the ballerina, the bricklayer or the concert pianist, your practice will become much easier when you appreciate how proprioception regulates all movement, all of the time.
Knowing how it works can change your life
Until recently, most work in rehabilitation has been towards "training" proprioception. It was hoped that exercise and controlled kinesthesia would allow the muscles to work efficiently again. The research with proprioceptive training has been encouraging, but there are still a group of patients who do not respond and have continued strength deficit, recurrent injury and failure to respond.
They lack Proprioceptive Integrity.
Proprioceptive Integrity is the ability to stabilise, hold, position and maintain any movement, any time. It can be the difference between success and failure, no matter how good your treatment or rehab regime.
I am Simon King and I have been a chiropractor for over 20 years. Over the last few years, I have specialised in trouble-shooting difficult cases. As the clinician of last resort, I have been in a privileged position to find out what was missing when expert treatment failed. In nearly all of these "problem cases" a lack of proprioceptive integrity was the cause of the pain and the failure to respond.
Wouldn't it be great to be able to assess your client's proprioception, directly and reliably? How much more efficient would you be if you could find out exactly how faulty proprioception was affecting them?
The Assessment and Treatment of Proprioceptive Integrity is a two or three day training programe that will make your life less stressful and more productive. You will have the confidence to help cases that might have been a cause of endless frustration.
Day one, you will
- Learn the reflexes that control proprioception
- Learn the receptors that provide proprioceptive
feedback
- Learn how proprioception regulates muscle tone
- Assess the latest research linking proprioception to
joint injury and arthritis, osteoporosis and hip fracture.
- See dozens of video case histories that illustrate
the power of proprioception in your practice.
- 5 tests that will tell you nearly everything you need
to know about your client's proprioception.
- Research linking proprioception to fatigue and
depression
- The 15 most common causes of proprioceptive interference, how to find them and how to treat them.
Day two will cover
- More specific testing for lumbar and cervical disc
lesions
- Specific testing of knees, ankles, shoulders, wrists
and elbows.
- The prevention and treatment of musculoskeletal
injury.
- Dental Proprioceptive insult and what to do about it.
- A closer look at the research about proprioception
- Specific exercises and treatments for more
complicated cases.
- How proprioception affects nutrition and digestion
- How to use proprioception to assess nutritional deficiencies and chemical toxicity
Day Three is specifically for practitioners of manipulation
An interactive workshop for practitioners who have attended days one and two or who have completed one hundred hours of basic Applied Kinesiology
- Revision of Proprioceptive Testing
- Fundamental Weaknesses
- Primary Alarm Points
- Muscle Activation Technique
- Extremity Examination and Treatment
