Itinerary for Advanced Training

Advanced Training Course

Management of complex chronic and neuropathic pain conditions and advanced clinical application of the InterX.

At this workshop therapists learn modern understanding of the development of chronic pain and its impact on the patient, introducing a deeper understanding of the Active Sites. New concept of Homeostatic Sites and Prognostic Quantitive evaluation Technique are taught as well as given knowledge of the anatomy of the Homeostatic Sites and the treatment protocols.

In this workshop patients with real pain condition are presented as a demo case study. They are treated interactively.
