Understanding Ligaments as Sensory Organs
with Robert Libbey
Ligament and joint tissues are important structures of the fascial, biotensegral and neurological system. We now know that ligaments & joint capsules are not completely separate structures from the surrounding tissues and that their Injuries are considered both connective tissue and neuro-psycho-physiologic dysfunctions effecting neuroplasticity of the central nervous system.
In this webinar, manual therapist Robert Libbey discusses the current understanding of ligaments together with suggestions for treatment/rehabilitation. We will look at the ligamentomuscular reflex (mono & polysynaptic reflex’s), ligament laxity, ligament pain referral patterns and the the neurological innervation of ligaments.
