P-DTR Foundation — Module 2

In person

At Neuro New Me, we know how important it is to balance professional development with patient care. That is why our P-DTR courses include 2 days of online content, delivered before the 3 days of in-person training. The online part is self-paced and time zone–friendly, so you can study when it suits you best: early in the morning, after clinic or at the weekend. Module 2 builds on the Foundation basics and moves from single receptors to the structures and movement patterns that shape how the body works. You will study pressure and vibration dysfunctions (including Pacinian corpuscles and the use of tuning forks), the rules for muscles, joint capsules, cartilage, spinal ligaments, talus, hyoid, earlobes, nose and lips, and a region-by-region review of the body's ligaments, from the pelvis and hip to the shoulder, elbow and wrist. The second half focuses on gait: the types of sensory input, the role of the cerebellum, the eight gait phases, the mechanical breakdown of the stance phase, gait inhibition, the Palo Alto and Pilus patterns, pelvic categories and joint position proprioceptors. You will be able to read and correct what you see when a patient walks.
