The Course
		Applied Kinesiology & Nerve Entrapment: How to unscramble Hidden Problems with AK An ICAK accredited, advanced course  An excellent integration of a great deal of work in the AK field…Thoroughly recommended….Everyone who is serious about using AK in their practice should do this course. I wouldn’t mind doing it a third time!   ~ Anne Mamok, DO With Clive Lindley-Jones B.Ed. (Hons), D.O., D.I.B.A.K. This practical, advanced AK seminar, which has recently been fully revised, reformatted and updated, is a must for any practitioner wishing to deepen their ability to find and treat both common nerve entrapment problems in the upper and lower extremity and find other hidden deficits relating to muscle, ligament and other dysfunction. This course offers you some of the best tools, for finding hidden problems that can regularly confound the AK practitioner without such understanding. As the late George Goodheart said,”You can’t recognize what you do not know” and “You don’t know what you don’t know until you know what you didn’t know.” This course will help you uncover problems that are only revealed through dynamic examination. One of the most useful AK insights we will explore in detail is the cascade of partially hidden muscle weakness from causes such as reactive muscles, through strain counter-strain to fascial and gait problems, which will uncover many, previously hidden, patterns of dysfunction. Once we have mastered these, we will go on to see how this knowledge can be vital in uncovering various nerve entrapment syndromes throughout the body. These will be explored in detail, step-by-step with easy to follow flow diagrams for use in the practice on Monday morning when you are under pressure to remember all the details, thus enabling you to more easily uncover numerous dificult problems with confidence. You will learn to put any patient through a detailed systematic screen to find what is – initially - hidden from view. N.B. This is an advanced course; a facility in basic AK will be assumed. N.B. This course can be tailored, on request, to run over two separate weekends or as an intensive three day course.

What others have said about this course..
		This course was one of the most thorough and well presented I have ever attended. The sheer quantity and quality of material taught was remarkable for a course lasting only 3 days. Despite the immense amount of material to cover, the course was taught in a very relaxed and enjoyable way. What I have learned has already benefited my practice on a number of occasions. It is unusual to retain quite so much information after a course, but Clive’s teaching makes it interesting and enjoyable, and the beautifully presented 200 page book he provides make it very easy to refresh your memory networks… The book contains comprehensive course notes and additional research papers. The teaching encourages you to think laterally and holistically, expands therapeutic possibilities, and gives you the tools to find and correct long-standing compensatory patterns. Topics we covered include reactive muscles; synergists and antagonists; the gait cycle and reflex points; all peripheral nerves - anatomy, investigation and treatment modalities; ligament interlink; and injury recall. I would thoroughly recommend this course to all AK practitioners, and feel it should be essential knowledge for anyone involved in musculoskeletal medicine. Hopefully it won’t be long until Clive will teach this course again in the UK, so anyone who hasn’t had the opportunity to attend will be able to do so.    ~ Karen Willis  It helped me make sense of the vast info I received from the 100 hour course   ~ Niklas Fougner, DC  There's no escape from the application of sound anatomical knowledge and being able to visualize it dynamically. Clive gave us logical steps to unravelling a recurrent problem, thereby helping to decrease that frustration, where you know here must be a good reason, but you can't reach it. The course gave me a kick up the b... to integrate much of the material immediately. I just thoroughly enjoyed my whole weekend & felt refreshed, encouraged and have used a huge amount of the material straight away Thank you Clive.   ~ Patricia Waite D.C. M.C.S.P.  Outstanding presentation of anatomy and neurology   ~ Dr. Leon Gynecologist  It helped me make sense of the vast info I received from the 100 hour course   ~ Niklas Fougner, DC  A lot of positive stimulation – easily translatable to my practice   ~ Dr Schuleri, Cardiologist / G.P.  An excellent integration of a great deal of work in the AK field – a very good revision. Thoroughly recommended….Although my second visit to this course, I think repetition is crucial – so much material isn’t easy to integrate all at once. Everyone who is serious about using AK in their practice should do this course. Please do this course more frequently than once in 5 years – I wouldn’t mind doing it a third time!   ~ Anne Mamok, DO  Good contact and openness … leading to a good atmosphere, personal engagement and connection with the knowledge.   ~ Dr. Faust G.P.  It has been very good to recap things that I had forgotten or stopped using from before. Great value.   ~ Mike Bassett, DC  Excellent, outstanding summary   ~ Dr Fautl-Vergde G.P.  Great revision – being able to diagnose and treat things that you would never even have considered possible.   ~ John Taberman-Pichler, DO  It has enabled me to find things that I know I normally miss, especially in the patient that I don’t find weakness in. It has improved my understanding and hopefully my integration.   ~ Ian Reed, DC  Stimulating AK principles ….very practical   ~ Dr Nekle  Very good. Re-spirited my enthusiasm to do more. Very practical – good ideas and techniques to treat chronic conditions.   ~ David Melrose, DO  The course forces you to review what you do and gives you more things to try.   ~ Alan Smith, ICAK  Very relevant on a practical level – glad that I did it!   ~ Dr. Liebl Pain specialist  The training has been good. The techniques in this course you could use in a Monday morning clinic. It was also run in a fun way.   ~ Phil Thomas, DO  Good opportunity to revise and rekindle knowledge by experiencing a different approach to common problems. Good value for people wanting to utilize AK more fully.   ~ John Stevens, DO  Good overview if one has the basic knowledge   ~ Dr. Hobbi G.P.  Highly practical, motivational and well-structured course, mixing humour with professionalism. Fantastic revision, good theory, highly practical and able to be implemented immediately. Good humour, fantastic knowledge based.   ~ Tim Chapman, BsC (OSA)  Horizon expanding: A very refreshing course for the practice   ~ Dr. Goldam G.P.  Informative – how to find hidden problems. This course will improve your technique at evaluating the shoulder complex and LBXT.   ~ Anthony Ryman, BOst  This training is absolutely essential. It means I have access to structured and orderly methods of examination of specific problem areas. Therefore in application I have confidence that my examination will have been thorough. I value the opportunity of working with experienced osteopaths who give invaluable feedback v.v. muscle testing skills etc, and also add little insights and observations which takes information off the page and into reality. It has felt a genuinely rounded experience: clarity of presentation, a sense of shared enthusiasm, and excitement about the subject. Laughter, good humour and tolerance, peppered with good-natured irreverence.   ~ Olivia Maxwel, Lic Ac  Very practical… deepening of knowledge of structural problems   ~ G.P.  It has reignited my enthusiasm for the structural aspect of AK and reminded me of things I can use again that I have maybe not been making available to myself. Very comprehensive and user-friendly. (A great course) if you work with the structure and want to really understand the whys and wherefores and what can go wrong. Clive has infectious joy!   ~ Matt Bourne, DO  It has reinforced a lot of my AK techniques. I have re-learnt much of what I had forgotten. This AK course is the most practical osteopathic course that I know.   ~ David Gutteridge, DO, Lic Ac  Good for going over basic evaluation techniques and treatment techniques. Good sense of humour!   ~ Anon  It has helped me understand the structural problems we have, what causes them and how to rectify them. It has been very useful to me and as I am a slow learner am looking forward to the second time. With a bit of practice, your methods will be under my belt. I particularly appreciated the instructor’s understanding of the material.   ~ Anon  Learnable… with a lot of practical relevance   ~ G.P.  I enjoyed this weekend thoroughly! Information very reliable and succinct. I love flow charts. Distinguish muscle testing better to explain syndromes, good quality muscle testing! This course explains the syndromes better i.e femoral nerve entrapment – psoas strong quads weak. I particularly appreciated those few nuggets of clinical experience that saves me from experimenting. The analogies were great!   ~ Daniel Cheung, BSc, DC
