    Overview

    Certified Clinical Dry Needling Practitioner Program

    Muscle fibers are arranged longitudinally close to one another & the typical arrangements help them to be quite elastic & exhibit lot of tensile strength, but fails even with slightest shearing force. 

    In this 2-day Module, we are addressing the fascial adhesive bands which are a result of slightest shearing force because the muscle can only withstand longitudinal force & not shearing force. Peripheral Pain Neuro Connective Pathway Model (Module-1) treatment is based on the fundamental ideas that the development of fascial adhesion due to toxic adaptations are connective tissue dysfunction (CTD) which can be restored immediately by reduction of pain in the patient, which helps in restoring muscle strength, muscle mobility & muscle function.

    The Fascial Adhesive Bands (FAB), Fascial Adhesions (FA) sometimes feels like a twisted leather belt or sometimes feel like a water wave near the joint or sometimes feels like a tight knot typically a nut or almond sized. Ligamental Fascial Band (LFB) & Articulation Fascial Adhesion (AFA) can also be found at the insertion of ligament which can be successfully treated with Peripheral Pain Neuro Connective Pathway Model (Module-1) of AIFIDN process which release adhesions that occur due to cross linking of the healing fibers.


    Chronic fascial adhesive bands (CFAB) or Overuse Fascial Adhesions (OFA) are also effectively treated with this process which may involve severe pain because the adhesions should be broken from chronic so that it becomes acute fascial adhesive bands (AFAB).

    Peripheral Pain Neuro Connective Pathway Model (Module-1) addresses successful treatment of the muscles concerned with low back pain (LBP) which plays 2 major role in forming the multilayer myofascial structure of low back.
    The various knee dysfunctional syndromes (KDS) which involves pain, weakness as well as loss of function are successfully treated by Peripheral Pain Neuro Connective Pathway Model (Module-1) by treating the continuum of the ligament as well as the muscle which is retinacula. This exclusive technique is called as retinacula stimulation technique (RST) and is used for variety of knee dysfunctions. This Module will help bring out the fear of needling of therapist & introduces him in the world of needling.

    The hypothesis is that the human body has a neuro connective schema (head to toe) & AIFIDN exactly addresses the memory of the schema. The neuro connective schema memory is based on the natural movement sequences; hence working on the fascia is like working on the Movement Disorder Syndromes (MDS).

    The Peripheral Pain Neuro Connective Pathway Model (Module-1) addresses fascia & myofascia, which connects neuro musculoskeletal, visceral & vascular connections. It follows the sequence where it's more of three-dimensional approach considering the neurophysiology of human body. The Peripheral Pain Neuro Connective Pathway Model (Module-1) addresses fascial aponeurosis, ligaments, myotendinous junction, retinacula, periosteum, and intermuscular fibers as a fascial
    connective tissue, which is visible to naked eye but a forgotten Structure.
