The Vital Nerves

Join internationally respected osteopath and educator John Gibbons for The Vital Nerves Course—a dynamic 1-day workshop designed to help manual therapists confidently assess, treat, and manage nerve-related dysfunctions within their clinical practice. Focusing on the most commonly affected peripheral nerves—including the sciatic, femoral, obturator, radial, median, and ulnar nerves—this course blends detailed anatomical knowledge with practical, hands-on techniques. You’ll learn how to identify neural irritation, differentiate between nerve and muscular pain, and perform neurodynamic assessments to pinpoint the root of dysfunction. John’s engaging teaching style brings clarity to complex topics, as he guides you through safe, effective techniques to mobilise and release nerve entrapments and improve neurodynamics. The course covers clinical reasoning, red flags, and contraindications, ensuring you practise with both skill and safety. Ideal for massage therapists, osteopaths, physiotherapists, and other bodyworkers, this CPD-accredited course is perfect for those looking to expand their clinical toolkit and improve outcomes for clients experiencing nerve-related pain or movement restrictions. If you want to enhance your understanding of the nervous system and bring a new level of precision to your assessments and treatments, The Vital Nerves Course is an unmissable opportunity to learn from one of the best in the field.
