Course Overview

This hands-on weekend with Dr. Jay Sandweiss gives you practical, ready-to-use manual techniques for resolving pain and somatic dysfunction of the low back, pelvis, cervical and thoracic spine, TMJ, and extremities — without drugs or surgery.

You’ll also learn a fast, efficient protocol for identifying disturbances in the acupuncture meridian system and clearing those imbalances with acupressure and manual stimulation alone — no needles required. It’s a powerful new set of tools you can add to your practice right away, whether or not you currently use acupuncture.

Through lecture, live demonstration, and supervised hands-on practice — individually and in small groups — you’ll leave ready to apply these techniques with your very next patient.

What You’ll Learn

By the end of this two-day course, you will be able to:

• Understand the fundamental principles of diagnosis and the techniques used to perform osteopathic manipulative treatment
• Use manual muscle testing to diagnose the neuromusculoskeletal dysfunctions behind your patients’ conditions and complaints
• Perform manual tests and palpation techniques across every region covered, to pinpoint exactly where treatment is needed
• Apply a unique protocol for identifying and treating acupuncture-meridian disturbances using manual technique alone — without needles
• Integrate nutritional pearls that work synergistically with the manual treatment protocols taught in the course

About Applied Kinesiology

Applied Kinesiology is a unique system of diagnosis and treatment that uses manual muscle testing to uncover the underlying factors behind somatic dysfunction. Each muscle is correlated with a specific organ or gland, acupuncture meridian, reflex, nutritional need, or other treatment modality — so a systematic protocol can seek out exactly the therapy each patient needs to achieve a healing response.

Developed more than 60 years ago by Dr. George Goodheart, Jr. and continually refined since, Applied Kinesiology lets you artfully test all the major muscle groups, find the precise weakness pattern behind a complaint (shoulder, knee, back and beyond), and work through complex, chronic, and recurrent dysfunctions with a powerful, repeatable algorithm.
