DERMONEUROMODULATING

1 DAY COURSE OUTLINE: SYDNEY 19 NOV 2022
THE GREAT SOUTHERN HOTEL
717 GEORGE ST , HAYMARKET 2000
8.30am – 5.30pm
Lecturer: Robin Kerr (Physiotherapist)

 

Dermoneuromodulating (DNM) is a nervous system (via cutaneous nerves)
focused manual therapy method developed by Canadian physiotherapist Diane
Jacobs. It provides a new paradigm in manual therapy that moves us away
from the operative “find a joint or soft tissue fault and fix it “ mentality of our
past manual therapy teachings. DNM dismisses the mechano-structural
explanations that have underpinned therapy and in particular manual therapy
dogma for decades.
Instead, DNM encourages a hands-on interaction between the therapist and
patient that facilitates positive changes in pain and movement. This interactive
nervous system focused manual therapy moves us towards congruence with
recent pain neuroscience findings via a focus on nervous system processes, in
particular downregulation

 

Dermo -> skin
Neuro -> nervous system
Modulation -> change

 

This course will supplement Diane’s online course on Embodia or provide the
therapist with a solid foundation on DNM . The course is open to ALL therapists
who perform manual therapy.
