New understanding is congruent with the latest research showing how important the spine health is for proper brain function. One particular part of the brain that we now know we impact when we mobilise/manipulate the spine is the prefrontal cortex. This literally is the Manual Therapist Dream, because the prefrontal cortex is vital for one's intelligence, movement control, pain processing, mental health, immune system, endocrine system and inflammation (thus most chronic diseases)!
Dr. Haavik will explain all of this to you in an easy-to-understand language. She will share with you a summary of where we are at today with the neurophysiological understanding of the impact of spinal function on brain function and will discuss what future implications this has for us as a profession.
