Dr Brandon Brock presents Dysautonomia (Sydney 3-5 March) & Paediatric Neurodevelopment (Melbourne 10-12 March)

Event 1 : Dysautonomia – Working with the Autonomic Nervous System

This course will provide a unique in-depth look at the autonomic nervous system. Understanding the function and interplay the ANS has with every part of the body and neuraxis is vital in appreciating our patients presenting conditions and their metabolic capacity during care. Dr Brock will explore and make clinically relevant the anatomy and physiology of the ANS, as well as address how integrated its dysfunction is with many neurologically impaired conditions.

Much of the weekend will be devoted to clinical and functional assessment, management and applications that relate to poor ANS function, or dysautonomia. Bedside and laboratory testing of the vascular, cardiac, respiratory and brain-control centres will be explored. Additionally, Dr Brock will impart his vast experience with receptor based therapy to teach integrated care to cover each topic. Clinical management will be geared heavily on an emphasis related to application, nutritional, immune dysfunction, metabolic support, testing, and case studies that will guide integrating functional neurology and nutrition and modern methods of care

Topics will include

• Physical Exam for individuals with autonomic disorders.
• POTS (Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome)
• Cardiac disorders
• Vascular disorders
• Phospholipid disorders
• Cortical, cerebellar and brainstem disorders
• Diseases that promote this condition such as those that impact electrolytes, connective tissues, catecholamines, limbic function and cognitive capacity.

Event 2: Paediatric Neuro-development – Learning and Behavioural Disorders

This course will cover paediatric neurophysiology, growth and development, as well as common neurological, physical, metabolic and immune conditions affecting this population. Dr Brock, along with his vast experience in paediatric nursing, functional medicine and clinical practice will share his wealth of knowledge on clinical testing from a medical, laboratory and functional neurology perspective.

Clinical management will be geared heavily on an emphasis related to receptor based therapy application, nutritional, immune dysfunction, metabolic support, testing, and case studies that will guide integrating functional medicine and neurology, along with nutrition and contemporary methods of care.

Topics will include

• Physical Exam for the newborn & infant, child and development milestones, including primitive reflexes
• OCD, Tourette’s and PANS
• ADHD, Infection and hyperkinetic movement disorders
• Autism and neuro-autoimmunity
• Dyslexia and Learning Disabilities
• Nutrition and Immune conditions related to pediatrics
• Adjusting Techniques and low-cost application Tools, diagnostic tests, laboratory studies and family support secrets.

Is the Seminar for you?

• Aimed at all healthcare practitioner (integrative GP, Chiropractor, Physiotherapist, Occupational Therapist), from students to the seasoned practitioner, with little or no experience in neurology.
• Practitioners that see children and want to excel their understanding in paediatric neurodevelopment from an immune, nutritional, physical and clinical neuroscience viewpoint.
• Enhance your learning in the area of the autonomic nervous system function and its involvement in almost all neurological conditions, as well as walk away with easy assessment and clinical applications to patient management.

What you will learn

• Neurophysiology- understand the neuro-circuitry as in relates to clinical practice.
• Clinical testing from a Neuro Rehabilitation perspective (bedside, lab, electrophysiolog.)
• Clinical management from a Neuro Rehabilitation perspective.
• Nutritional/Immune/Metabolic support around a Neuro Rehabilitation approach.
• Practical break outs to workshop learnings with simple and effective tool-kits to bring into your practice.
• Live patient presentation – with neurological work up and diagnostic testing with prescription of Neuro rehabilitation and findings.
