Manual Muscle Testing

Course outline

As a sports chiropractor of nearly 3 decades and still involved at the highest level, Ulrik will present a 2 day course on the tools that he has found the most useful throughout his career. With a basis in manual muscle testing, he is used to demonstrating both to himself and his athletes the immediate changes in strength, ROM and pain with manual treatments. This focuses on performance and control and has been his most useful way of showing the value of manual treatment to his colleagues in the sports medical teams.

The testing is not Applied Kinesiology but has a focus on neurological control of muscle recruitment. It gives a great way of uncovering hidden overload issues in our patients and gives emphasises the notion that uninjured doesn’t mean optimum performance.
