"...I’m the lead therapist and I set the standards of practice for the department and hospital with regards to massage and bodywork. So, at this time I’m seeing “Functional Medicine” becoming a grand buzz word in hospital practice. I don’t see a lot of people knowing what it is or really how to practice it. I see bodywork as a foundational piece of functional medicine because by definition, we manipulate tissues and create immediate, measureable changes in quality of life and function in activities of daily living. As for the CNB program, I have been completely blown away by it. I thought I knew something prior to taking this program and have realized that I didn’t know much at all about complete assessment of a client. And my orthopedic assessments are shabby, but I didn’t realize how much I didn’t know about what neurological issues or complications might be hiding behind what we look at as ‘soft tissue issues’.I do a fair amount of work on clients who have complex issues and see a wide variety of specialist practitioners. I’ve seen many of these people undertreated and poorly assessed and diagnosed by their practitioners. So I’ve been able to dramatically expand my own tool box, better assess my clients, develop more accurate treatment programs for them and help them create improvements in their life." Lloyd M.

Functional Neurology for Bodyworkers
KnowTheBrain for body workers has two goals;
- To train Massage Therapists and Acupuncturists on the brain's effect on the body, and how to more precisely select therapies or perform treatments that can target the brain within their scope of practice.
- To increase the skill level of therapists so that they may identify, refer to, collaborate with, inform, and ultimately work on a team with licensed clinicians in the fields of neurology and psychology.
