IKN Approach Level 1

In this 2-day 16 hour in-person seminar the focus will be placed on merging applied neuroscience strategies with musculoskeletal and orthopedic rehabilitation to treat pain and movement-related issues. Our goal is to bridge the gap between these systems to create a comprehensive assessment and movement approach.

This seminar is open to anyone who is interested, including physical therapists, chiropractors, massage therapists, athletic trainers, occupational therapists, osteopaths, and medical doctors. Attendees can expect to dive into great detail about the fundamental principles of our system & how they can integrate it with their own unique approach.
