Advanced VM — Physiological & Neuroendocrine Effects
Soft tissue treatment, clinical applications and the neuroendocrine dimensions of manual therapy.
Understand the physiological and neuroendocrine ripple effects of visceral manipulation — from cortisol to inflammation to HPA axis regulation.
AVMNE explores the physiological and neuroendocrine effects of soft tissue treatment. You will study how visceral manipulation influences cortisol, inflammatory markers, autonomic tone and the HPA axis — giving you scientific language for what your hands have always felt. The course covers clinical applications for chronic inflammatory conditions, adrenal exhaustion, autonomic dysregulation and stress-related disorders.
What you will learn
- Understand neuroendocrine responses to manual therapy
- Apply visceral work to stress-related disorders
- Address chronic inflammation through soft tissue treatment
- Articulate scientific mechanisms to colleagues and physicians
