Neural Manipulation: Neuromeningeal Manipulation (NM1)
Course Length: 3 Days, 18 Hours course time
Synopsis: This is a specialized course focusing on the impact of whiplash.
Course Highlights:
Study the three primary areas of trauma as they relate to whiplash: physical laws, evaluation and treatment.
Learn the appropriate anatomy and physiology for treatment of whiplash and trauma conditions.
Learn to locate and release restrictions along the meningeal system.
Assess injuries to the soft tissues of the cervical region and learn treatment protocols for optimal release.
Learn tests to determine restriction patterns of the cervicobrachial region.
Understand how whiplash creates restriction patterns throughout the body.
Identify techniques that encompass the whole body, as the whole body receives collision forces in a whiplash injury, not just the cervical spine.
Learn to evaluate restrictions in the lumbosacral region.
Discover new applications of visceral manipulation principles and techniques as they can be utilized for patients presenting whiplash and other conditions involving trauma.
Compare treatment sequence and tests for whiplash and traumatic injuries.

Certification Highlights:
Ensures a deep understanding of anatomy, physiology and Neural Manipulation Therapy techniques.
Helps preserve the right of qualified healthcare professionals to practice Neural Manipulation
Demonstrates your commitment to excellence and enhances your networking and referral status.
Techniques Certification: Allows you to use the professional designation "CNM" in your title.
Requirements:
Successfully complete Neural Manipulation 1-4 (NM1-4)
Successfully complete a Techniques-level at-home objective exam for each NM1-4 class level.
Submit five (5) case write-ups following the required format.
Successfully complete a practical/oral/written exam with a Certified BI Examiner that tests your ability to understand and apply NM techniques from class levels NM1-NM4 and LT1.
Note: Neural Manipulation Certification through the Barral Institute certifies a person's abilities in Neural Manipulation (NM). Since certification does not provide a legal right to practice, a person must have the appropriate credential and/or license to practice manual therapy in their locale.
