How to make a patient strong enough to treat
Posted by Simon King · Leave a Comment
Hi there,
I hope your muscle testing is going very well. Remember to check back into www.proprioception.org.uk occasionally as there is new stuff here all the time.
I recently made the first 6 hours of my seminar programme completely free. I don't know why, I must be mad.
It's just an experiment and I'm not sure how long it will last.
This is the first full day of my seminar series in which I teach a unique set of four tests.
The real benefit of these tests is that they tell you when a patient is strong enough to be treated. Many patients have systemic weakness that make them either dangerous to treat or resistant to treat. Not all of these are little old ladies.
Each of these 4 modules guides you through the way proprioception and sensory afferents govern muscle tone and then shows you how to perform each of these very important tests.
The last module gives you the 16 most common solutions to systemic weakness.
The link to the seminar is here or it click the Foundation module in the Seminars menu.
This seminar is approved for 6 CPD hours in the UK and FLA2 hours in Australia. To obtain your certificate of hours, you need to have proved that you have watched the videos by filling in the exam paper and emailing the completed form. admin@proprioception.org.uk.
Feel free to forward this email to any colleagues who want to brush up on their muscle testing or are in need of CPD hours.

A New Protocol
Posted by Simon King · 7 Comments
Although I have been quiet recently, I have been creative.
In my quest to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of my muscle testing, I have developed an almost completely new system of routine examination.
This new protocol uses the principles of muscle activation and turbo-charges them to make a system that is more elegant, specific and sensitive than I would have dreamed possible.
Before I release it, I would like to know if others find it as useful as I do. I am after 10 volunteers to test the system and report back. I only want people who are prepared to really give it a try and leave honest comments, suggestions and criticisms here and on the Expert Muscle Testing Facebook page within the next 7 days.
If you have gold membership access or have done my seminars and would like to try the new protocol (it's easy to learn and will only take about 2 minutes per patient to follow - yes that's right, a complete muscle testing examination in 2 minutes or less), then please leave your name and email and I will send you the link.
Leave your name below or send an email to me at info@proprioception.org.uk

The Gastrocnemius Test
Posted by Simon King · 3 Comments
When this test is weak, the patient will be inherently unstable and adjustments won't hold because any time they activate their gastrocnemius, every other muscle will go weak (see muscle activation technique). They are also likely to present with knee, hip and low back problems.
