You’ll Learn:
• Advanced treatment strategies for scoliosis, kyphosis, and lordosis
• Specialized approaches for severe hypotonia, including SMA, to activate and strengthen low-tone muscles
• Techniques to modulate tone — excite nerves for activation or dampen activity to reduce spasticity and dystonia
• Clinical reasoning for postural correction and neuromuscular balance
• Extensive hands-on practice and clinical case demonstrations
Eligibility: Open exclusively to therapists who have completed NISE-Stim Level 1.
Course Fee for Each Course:
