Course Overview
This introduction consists of a brief history of MMT, key guidelines and fundamentals of MMT, which is important for beginners of MMT.
This video collection not only includes manual muscle testing, but also orthopedic muscle resistive testing and assessment of muscle firing sequences, all of which help to differentiate specific injuries and detect imbalances that can be contributing to the injury.

The acupuncture aspect of this video library discusses and motor point, adjacent and distal point protocols that significantly change the muscles strength, proprioception, range of motion, muscle firing sequences and pain.

The viewer will see many examples of something that I call "Acupuncture as an Assessment". This assessment protocol tests for muscles that are weak, with or without discomfort, that can be changed by needling one key point. This assessment protocol is a test, needle, test sequence that helps the practitioner determine key acupuncture point(s) to use during treatment.

There are short clips of videos found in Course 2: The Neck, Shoulder and UE and Course 3: The Low Back, Hip and LE.

Matt Callison has over 33+ years of experience combining MMT and acupuncture.

    *CEU/CPD Approvals

    Some accreditation bodies have course approval expirations. If the approval expires, you will see a notice next to the name with a date of expiration: "[Until YYYY/MM/DD]". Please factor this date into your own renewal deadline. If an approval expires, you will be able to request that it is renewed and we will submit it for you within 2 business days. Renewals normally come back to us after 30 days. If your accreditation body is not listed under the "Approved" section, you may find it under the "Pending" section. That means that it is either currently pending approval, or that it is available for you to request: "[Upon Request]". New course approvals usually come back to us after 45 days. We use an automated system within our platform that allows you to make these requests in an easy and convenient way. Just visit the course page in your Net of Knowledge account and click the "Request Approval" button at the top. Each "Course and CEUs/CPDs" purchase grants you 1 request per accreditation body. If you request a course approval and do not complete it before its new expiration date, you will need to purchase another "CEU/CPD Add-On" to make another request. If the course is ineligible for approval with an accreditation body due to their subject-matter policies, it will be listed as "[Ineligible]", and no requests will be possible for the course.
