John Gibbons's video: Introduction to THE VITAL NERVES book by John Gibbons Bodymaster

https://www.johngibbonsbodymaster.co.uk/the-vital-nerves/ The Vital Nerves book is a comprehensive, must-have roadmap to the functional anatomy & testing of the peripheral nervous system. The book is enriched with anatomical drawings throughout the text for each each lesson and with detailed explanations. The literature is complimented by the associated videos (QR codes) that explains everything from neurological testing, common neuropathies, and differential diagnoses, and is an indispensable resource for physical therapists and bodyworkers. Osteopath, lecturer and author John Gibbons offers an accessible introduction to the peripheral nervous system (PNS). Alongside real case studies and guidelines for hands-on work with clients and patients. The Vital Nerves masterclass demystifies and makes accessible everything from how to diagnose nerve conditions to understanding how our cells communicate. Gibbons provides critical insights into the structure and functions of the PNS; the body’s response to stimuli and how it knows what to do; the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems; understanding the stress response; and how reflex testing can aid in diagnosing conditions like M.S., Parkinson’s Disease, and disc herniations. ➢ Assess the nervous system using a patella (reflex) hammer, myotome (muscle) testing and dermatome (sensory) testing ➢ Determine whether pain in the posterior part of the thigh is caused by the sciatic nerve, piriformis or simply a hamstring strain ➢ Decide at what level a disc may have herniated Differentiate between upper and lower motor neurone disorders ➢ Know what to do with the findings of your neurological assessment and the circumstances under which to refer patients for more specialist care.
