Course content

• The success of physical therapy carried out by healthcare professionals in neurological, geriatric and paliative care wards or at the home of patient is often limited.
• The reasons for this are usually additional disorders related to the digestive, urogential tracts and the cardiopulmonary system.
  Such disorders can have a strong effect on joint mobility, motor function, gait, trunk activity, balance and postural attitude.
• Carefully selected appropriate visceral therapy techniques can significantly improve the effectiveness of neurophysiological treatments in patients with hemiplegia, muliple sclerosis, Parkinson´s disease, paraplegia, muscle diseases and as well with orthopedic problems.
• The participants will gain a new perspective on the central nervous system and well master a new treatment approach that will complement their existing therapy methods.

At the end of the course, participants will be able to apply the newly learned techniques in their daily practice.
