Erik Dalton’s Treating Trapped Nerves (16 CE Hours)
Learn to assess and address nerve-related pain, numbness, weakness, and restricted movement with Erik Dalton’s neurodynamic approach.
Drawing on the work of Maitland, Shacklock, and Butler, Erik combined current pain science, nerve mobilization, and his distinctive soft-tissue preparation methods into a practical MAT system. The course includes more than 65 assessments and corrective techniques for every major peripheral nerve in the body.
Course Overview
Nerve irritation and restriction can contribute to persistent symptoms that do not respond to muscle work alone. This course helps you recognize possible neural involvement and apply techniques designed to reduce mechanosensitivity, improve nerve mobility, and restore more comfortable movement.
You’ll explore common conditions including thoracic outlet syndrome, cubital tunnel syndrome, carpal tunnel syndrome, and sciatic nerve irritation through clear demonstrations and clinically relevant instruction.
