Jones Institute Europe

REGULAR SCS COURSES:

These three day course introduces a new concept in the evaluation and treatment of somatic dysfunction. Strain Counterstrain (SCS) is a gentle, a traumatic manual medicine procedure that involves indirect positioning of a painful restricted muscle or joint in a skilled way that reduces inappropriate proprioceptor activity thereby arresting pain and aberrant muscle tone to normalize joint range and function as fast as 90 seconds.

Upon completion of each course participants will be able to:

• Understand the neuromuscular basis for SCS
• Perform a full body SCS evaluation
• Perform SCS treatment techniques for common joint dysfunction
• Use the SCS documentation format
• Design an exercise home program using the SCS philosophy

Strain Counterstrain can be use in conjunction with: articular techniques, muscle energy, myofascial release, Trigger point therapy, exercises and modalities.

Our audience are fully licenced:
Physiotherapist (PT), Osteopathic doctors (D0), Medical doctors (MD) especially orthopedics & physiatrist, Chiropractors (DC), we had few Nurses and Dentists as well.

Each attendee will receive a Course Syllabus a Flip Chart (SCS I,II,III & UQ courses only), and a Certificate of Completion.

Different material will be accesible at the course, like a few "Jones Strain Counterstrain" and "Clinical Application of Counterstrain" text books, Posters, Flip charts and other material will be available at the course or you may orther them directly at our website at the products page.

After the completion of these three basic levels the student can attend SCS IV° or/and SCS V°. The Specialistic levels can be attendend in this order: SCS PP, VL & AS can be done after the SCS I°. SCS UQ & LQ can be attendend only after completion of at least SCS I° & II°.

CLINICAL SCS COURSES:

The “Clinical Strain Counterstrain” course is a specific class program for those medical figures that do not have sufficient time to spend with the patient or whom are specialist in one specific area of the body and have few chances of evaluating and treating the entire body. The course is divided into 6 seminars of the duration of one day and half in which will be taught how to precisely evaluate and treat the most common dysfunction of that singular area. The course is based upon the most common medical pathology that can be faced in and from that particular area.

Upon completion of each course participants will be able to:

• Understand the neuromuscular basis for SCS
• Understand the neuromuscular basis for the articulatory dysfunctions
• Perform a complete evaluation of the studied area
• Place a diagnosis on muscle-skeleton dysfunction with SCS philosophy
• Establish a plan therapy aimed on the various lesions diagnosed
• Have knowledge of the various pathology that can be treated with SCS
• Design an exercise home program using the SCS philosophy

Strain Counterstrain can be use in conjunction with: articular techniques, muscle energy, myofascial release, Trigger point therapy, exercises and modalities.

Our audience for this course are only fully licenced:
Medical doctors (MD), Only American Doctor of Osteopthy (DO), Doctor of dental Surgery (DDS)

Each attendee will receive a Course Syllabus a Flip Chart and a Certificate of Completion.

Discount will be given for those who will subscribe to the entire six courses in adjunctive to a free copy of the text book: "Clinical Application of Counterstrain"

Different material will be accesible at the course, like a few "Jones Strain Counterstrain" and "Clinical Application of Counterstrain" text books, Posters, Flip charts and other material will be available at the course or you may orther them directly at our website at the products page.
