Course Description:

Step into the cutting edge of brain-based manual care with Dr. Marc Ellis, founder of the MyoSynaptics system. This course offers a sweeping, clinically grounded exploration of functional neurology for bodyworkers, chiropractors, and manual therapists who want to transform the way they understand and treat human dysfunction.

This course connects bridges the micro and macro understanding of neurology offering clinical applications, connecting brain function to everyday patient complaints and manual therapy outcomes. You’ll learn how sensory integration, neuroplasticity, and regional brain assessment directly shape musculoskeletal tone, coordination, pain, and performance.

From the foundational fuel-and-activation needs of neurons to advanced insights into cortical region testing, participants will explore hands-on strategies that decode movement disorders, reframe frozen shoulder as apraxia, and reveal when “tight muscles” are really the brain asking for help. Case studies, brain-based assessments, and targeted action items will empower you to refine your treatment plans in real time.

Key Topics Include:

• Sensory integration and self-modeling through proprioception, vision, and vestibular input

• Neuroplasticity in clinical recovery—understanding fatigue, adaptation, and functional timing

• Practical brain-based assessments for frontal, parietal, temporal, and occipital lobes

• How cerebellar and basal ganglia function affect coordination and motor planning

• Brainstem and cranial nerve evaluations relevant to swallowing, eye movements, and dysautonomia

• Real-world case applications: movement disorders, post-concussion syndrome, and complex brain injuries

This is not simple theory, it’s an actionable system you’ll begin applying from the first module. Whether you’re working with athletes, chronic pain patients, or neurological conditions, MyoSynaptics: Neuro II will sharpen your lens and expand your therapeutic reach.
