Intermediate/Advanced Modules

The Intermediate Series builds on what students began delving into during the foundations series. Students can expect to learn much more about how the body structures larger patterns of dysfunctions and how each piece of the pattern can effect another. Tools will be provided to quickly determine the prevailing source of a dysfunction to greatly minimise any chance of reoccurrence. Students will learn the proper firing sequences for muscles used to accomplish given movements and how the body will respond if these sequences are disrupted. Advanced biomechanics are covered in depth for each major joint of the body including shoulder, hip, knee, foot and ankle, elbow, and spine.

The Advanced Series takes students on a thorough exploration of the physiology of numerous body systems. Assessment of viscera for localized and referred patterns is covered in great detail as well as an in depth exploration of iliocecal valve conditions. Issues with energy production are explored via functional takeaways from Krebs Cycle and Essential Fatty Acid Metabolism malfunctions. Symptoms, assessment, and treatment of cranial nerve dysfunctions are a major focus point of the advanced curriculum. Students will cover peripheral nerve entrapments and learn how to use the reappearance of primitive reflexes as a treatment tool. Other topics include baroreceptors, neurological teeth, alkalosis, and retrograde lymphatics.
