Did you know that every intervention you make to a patient has a potential neurological effect, which you can test and document? Muscle strength can change immediately and dramatically if you do the right tests. But if you don’t test – you don’t know. And if your treatment immediately changes muscle strength, you have a very significant indication that your intervention was successful and relevant - as well as a patient who now really get what you do for them.
This seminar will examine the neurological basis for manual muscle testing and present a screening routine as well as a simple concept for using muscle testing in your daily practice. We will look at a new paradigm for understanding injury, which is rooted in well understood principles and research and which offers a different yet very logical approach.
This concept works regardless of your treatment technique. It is not meant as a ‘system’, a cookbook approach or the only way to get your patients better, but it is a simple yet hugely effective tool, which is easy to apply and integrate into your existing examination procedures.

The following Monday morning, you will be able to:

• Immediately show the effect of your treatment

• Hugely increase patient compliance

• Get clues to help you find those difficult underlying problems – not just treat compensations

• Screen asymptomatic patients and athletes and show them why they are seeing you for preventative care

• Understand risk factors to injury and potential barriers to sporting performance
