Using Proprioceptive Deep Tendon Reflex (P-DTR) Recalibration
To Improve and Enhance Somatic Stability and Competence
Lorne Fedderson 4-11-2010
In this interactive presentation, Lorne will share important and fascinating information about proprioception and the nervous system. Proprioception, or self sensing, begins at the myriad different receptors found through-out the Soma. These receptors detect pressure, vibration, tension, stretch, temperature and nociception (pain). Sensations transmitted in each receptor’s axon to the interneurons will pool at the spinal level. They are then channeled to the appropriate ascending tracts and directed to different central nervous system areas. Here sensations are further processed, interpreted, enhanced or suppressed, and contextualized. If they reach the cortex, they become part of our conscious perception, where we can facilitate a positive change for our client. Metabolic factors, mood, memory, previous trauma, genetics and immediate context all shape the interpretation and responses to any given input. We will study the different responses in muscle testing outcomes and their interpretations as an assessment tool. We will discuss how this valuable information is pertinent to hands-on HSE clinical work.
Lorne Fedderson is a Certified Hanna Somatic Educator (from the 1995-97 training with a specialty in Applied Kinesiology. Over 30 years ago he went down the coast of Mexico to surf, and has lived there ever since. For the past 3 decades Lorne has used Applied Kinesiology and aspects of HSE in his private practice in Tecoman, Colima, Mexico, where he lives with his wife and 4 children. He is well known throughout the country as a “healer” par excellence, and sees as many as 30 clients a day! Legend has it he can transform into a large green sea turtle! Lorne is a graduate of the Boulder School of Massage Therapy, the Postural Integration training and the White-Walthers Applied Kinesiology programs. He has taught Applied Kinesiology at the University of Guadalajara, the University Autonoma of Guadalajara, and in Los Angeles. Lorne studied with Dr. Walter Schmitt and was a student in the Carrick Institute Chiropractic Neurology course.
