The method
What is P-DTR and why does it matter?
A functional neurology method designed to address the neurological source of pain and dysfunction.
Proprioceptive Deep Tendon Reflex (P-DTR®)
P-DTR works at receptor level, changing how the nervous system responds to stimuli. By addressing dysfunctional sensory receptors, it helps clinicians work with the body’s neurological “software”, not only its structural “hardware”.
Decode dysfunctional patterns
Use a systematic framework to identify and treat the source of dysfunctional movement and performance blocks, rather than only treating symptoms.
Integrates with your practice
P-DTR complements the work of physiotherapists, chiropractors, osteopaths, physicians, manual therapists and advanced trainers.
Course structure
How P-DTR Foundation works
A comprehensive 120-hour journey delivered in three intensive modules throughout 2027.
Three modules over 2027
Each module builds systematically on the previous one, combining theory, assessment and extensive supervised practice.

Curriculum
What you’ll learn
A complete functional neurology curriculum designed to transform your clinical practice from day one.
By the end of Foundation, you will be able to:
Assess and treat muscle spindle, Golgi tendon organ, nociceptor and other receptor dysfunctions using P-DTR protocols.
Build step-by-step neuromechanical assessments for chronic pain and movement issues.
Integrate P-DTR into your daily patient workflow from the first module.
Identify and correct dysfunctional proprioceptors linked to pain, limited range of motion and performance blocks.
Use neural challenges and manual reflex testing to investigate difficult clinical presentations.
