Net of Knowledge is an exciting, new continuing education platform built specifically for TCM and integrative health practitioners.
We are industry stakeholders who have come together from around the globe with a common mission: to inspire and support practitioners like you in your pursuit of knowledge and growth, so you can keep giving more to the patients and communities you support.
Come learn from some of the brightest minds of our field in our engaging digital environment.
To support your continuous self-development, we wanted to make it easier for you to keep learning from the teachers you love, even when you donāt need the CEUs. A lot of time goes into making the quiz and certificate applications for a courseāif you donāt need it, why pay for it?
If you see a course or series youāre interested in, but arenāt sure if you need it towards your CEUs, just purchase the āCourse Onlyā or 'Series Only' option, and start learning right away! If you decide you need the CEUs at a later time, you can purchase the CEU add-on then.
Please note, CEU add-ons can only be applied if you have the course or series in your account, to begin with. If you buy a CEU add-on on its own, you will need to go back and buy the course or series respectively.
You have selected CEUs ONLY option. The CEU add-ons can only be applied to courses you already have in your Net of Knowledge account.
If you have purchased a CEUs ONLY option first by accident, you can come back here and purchase the COURSE ONLY option, and they will link back up automatically.
The world of orthopedic assessment can be overwhelming to those attempting to memorize every test for every body region for every condition. While it is important to have a robust knowledge of tests you feel comfortable implementing in the clinic, there are ways to help broadly understand the underlying concepts of orthopedic and muscle testing.
The instructor, Derrick McBride, has organized tests from the entire body into 3 types of tests that can be easily digested and applied to many conditions all over the body. These types of tests include Compression Based Orthopedic Tests, Tension Based Orthopedic Tests, and Force Based Muscle Tests.
In this course, Tension Based Orthopedic Tests, Derrick McBride presents the global concept of applying tension to anatomical tissues for the diagnosis of orthopedic injuries and local stagnation patterns. Specific examples will be used to show the versatility of the concept presented.
Some examples of tests include:
(1) Ligamentous injuries
(2) Range of motion and soft tissue length
(3) Joint structures
At the end of the course, the students will feel comfortable with multiple ways of applying tensile forces to anatomical tissues for more specific diagnoses of local stagnation patterns. This is a skill set you don't want to miss out on!
The recordings will be made available for you to review after the event!
The first section is an introduction to applying tensile forces and when to use them.
