Core Connections – Exploring the Core’s Developmental Roots
June 17, 2016 @ 8:00 am - 5:00 pm CDT
| $225This course will provide therapists with a clear description of musculoskeletal make-up of the “core” and will cover the research based neurophysiological rationale for evaluating core development and function in individuals with sensory processing difficulties. Core function will be explored from its developmental roots in the unfolding of the primary movement patterns (innate reflex development). Two key patterns (Moro and Tonic Labyrinthine) and their connections to core development and self-regulation will be discussed.
