In this webinar, participants will be introduced to a brain based approach towards musculoskeletal dysfunction. While everyone is different, those with pain often demonstrate numerous consistencies.

Learning Objectives:

– Discuss the fundamentals of intervention, and why they are arranged in a specific order.
– Describe the importance of central sensory integration and its relevance to movement quality.
