Friday evening is optional, but I would advice everyone to follow this as well.
If you would like some leaflets to be send to you, please let me know and I will be pleased to post any amount you need.
Regret not being able to come to the big event in Washington.
Cheers,

Topics Friday evening: 6-9 pm. (optional)
Manual Biofeedback
For those who have not been in touch with Manual Muscle Testing, Dr. Maffetone will teach the concepts of MMT as a holistic approach rather than a technique, then give a few tools you can use immediately. Practice and learn muscle tests, the feeling of normally inhibited and facilitated muscles.
Manual biofeedback is used to remediate neuromuscular imbalance ranging from minor dysfunction to advanced neurological damage. Diagnosis and treatment are based on EEG and EMG type biofeedback, but instead of using equipment, responses are gauged with muscle testing. The protocol is simple and easy to learn, and can be integrated into health care professions of all types.
During this evening you will learn to treat:
• common muscle weakness, most often encountered in an AK practice.
• muscles with zero or minimal contraction, resulting from brain or spinal cord injury (i.e. stroke, cerebral palsy, trauma, etc.)
• muscles with “normal” function in order to improve power - an indispensable tool for athletes, geriatric, disuse, and disabled patients.
“Manual Biofeedback is the most important new technique in 20 years! It’s useful for both pathological and functional problems, … it usually requires just one treatment.
Most importantly, it is surprisingly simple”.
Walter Schmitt, DC, DIBAK, DABCN
