Description
1.3 Contact Hours / 0.13 CEUs Dr. Brismee discusses the neural testing and management for the upper quadrant using research-based guidelines for neural tensioning and sliding techniques. He also shares his expertise on how to apply the evidence into the clinical practice to treat patients with spinal potential discogenic, dural or nerve root related conditions, patients with suspected peripheral neural compression/tension conditions and patients with suspected sensitization in chronic stages. Target group: PT, PTA, AT, OT Education Level: Basic
